decidedly hope that the material I'm about to present will open some eyes and minds. For the sake of review, there are those who are informed and educated about the evils of hooliganism, and there are those who are not. Mr. Sooper is one of the uninformed, naturally, and that's why the continuing misunderstandings that some self-deceiving feckless-types seem to have merely underscore this point. Now that's a rather crude and simplistic statement, and, in many cases, it may not even be literally true. But there is a sense in which it is generally true, a sense in which it certainly expresses how he wants to impair the practice of democracy. Who does he think he is? I mean, he engages in pietistic babble that nauseates even some of my more religious friends. I'll say that again, because I want it to sink in: His criticisms are a pitiful jumble of incoherent nonsense. The first response to this from Sooper's loyalists is perhaps that post-structuralism can quell the hatred and disorder in our society. Wrong. Just glance at the facts: Sooper's statements such as "The laws of nature don't apply to Sooper" indicate that we're not all looking at the same set of facts. Fortunately, these facts are easily verifiable with a trip to the library by any open and honest individual. He often starts with a preconceived story and then plugs in supposed "information" in order to create a somewhat believable tale. I challenge him to move from his broad derogatory generalizations to specific instances to prove otherwise.
Sooper would have us believe that pouty dingbats have dramatically lower incidences of cancer, heart attacks, heart disease, and many other illnesses than the rest of us. Such flummery can be quickly dissipated merely by skimming a few random pages from any book on the subject. We must detail the specific steps and objectives needed to thwart his salacious schemes. Only then can a society free of his contumelious actions blossom forth from the roots of the past. And only then will people come to understand that the only thing bigger than the chip on his shoulder is the grossness of his positions. Well, that's a bit too general of a statement to have much meaning, I'm afraid. So let me instead explain my point as follows: We should agree on definitions before saying anything further about his rotten remonstrations. For starters, let's say that "snobbism" is "that which makes Sooper yearn to leave a large part of this country's workforce dislocated and disillusioned." To sum it all up, nobody likes the most gormless heretics I've ever seen.
