"Gone Fishin' "

We have received many letters since our last publication. We deeply appreciate all of them because they tell us what in the newsletter is important to you. We do not know everyone who is receiving these newsletters. We assume, however, that most people who receive them have been educated in the public or private school system in America or some other Western nation with a similarly destructive educational system. We know that once people are educated, they can no longer perceive reality properly and they lose their ability to discriminate. For example, over the last eight years, people who could only be defined as mental furballs have been elected to serve in Congress and in some of the highest political offices in this country. These people have been elected on ludicrous and flagrantly misleading ideas concerning the political and economic realities of this country and the world. Voters obviously suffer from discrimination problems which we believe are a direct result of the damage they incurred during their years of schooling.

We are not trying to make a political statement here. However, as researchers, we are trying to figure out a way to communicate what we believe to be accurate information about the destructive nature of modern education to people who have discrimination problems. We are fishing around for ways to pass on this information to people who have trouble discerning fact from fiction or who, if they can discern fact from fiction, cannot act on their own behalf.

You could say that we are trying to figure out how to tell miseducated people that their houses are on fire and their children are in danger of perishing in the flames. Our research shows that most educated people, because they have been disconnected from reality by 13 or more years of empty data input, cannot be told about a real emergency in a direct way. EMPTY DATA INPUT REFERS TO THE DISSEMINATION OF DISASSOCIATED MATHEMATICS FACTS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO "TEACH" A "COURSE" LIKE GEOMETRY WITHOUT ITS OCCURRING IN THE NATURAL PROCESS OF BUILDING A BRIDGE, HOUSE, OR BOAT. IN DOING SO "TEACHERS" SET UP WITHIN "STUDENTS" INCOHERENT REALITY FRAMES OF REFERENCE INCAPABLE OF NATURAL FUNCTIONING. So when we tell some educated people that their houses are on fire and their children are in danger of being burned, all they can do is correct our spelling or grammar, or comment on our writing style. Some criticize us for being too political, while others say we are not political enough. Others say that we are too racist, sexist, feminist or mysterious. Some people get angry because we did not get their permission to tell them that their houses are on fire and their children are in danger of being burned.

We are trying to be good neighbors. We live on the same block. While passing by your house one afternoon, we noticed that flames were shooting out your front windows. We are not looking for a reward or a fee. We are just trying to figure out a way to tell you about the fire.

Once people become miseducated, they can be told about emergencies only in very mysterious and complicated ways. We already know that we cannot tell most of you straight out that your house is on fire and your children are in danger. But we do know that in your house, you have a picture of your Aunt Lucy in a wooden frame on your coffee table--a picture that you say you like very much. However, we do not know whether what you like is the picture or the frame. Once we know which it is that you like, we can then tell you that either the picture or the frame is in danger of being burned. If we can get you to clutch hold of the picture in order to save it, we may be able to get you to see that your house is on fire. But we are just fishin'. Maybe we need to tell you "fat" jokes about your Aunt Lucy until you get so mad that you run over and clutch her picture long enough to discover that her picture is hot and that either your heat is up too high or your house is on fire.

We hope that if we can reach you, even if we have to make you angry to do so, there might be some untapped resource (which we are unaware of at this point) that could be tapped and used to stop the destruction of children. You could say that in order to get a pearl, we have to throw in a few grains of sand. However, in this case, because we are trying to reach people with severe discrimination problems, we have to throw in much more than sand.

We received several hundred letters since the publication of the first newsletter. About ten percent of these letters were negative and critical of what we had to say. We do not mind getting angry, negative letters. In fact, we understand that people often get angry, at least initially, at the bearer of bad news, because the news itself is so inherently painful. We would also be glad to receive any letters of criticism that contained well-documented research evidence which clearly challenged or refuted the accuracy of our conclusions, although we seriously doubt that such evidence exists.

The letters of criticism and helpful, polite "suggestions" that we received were all written by people who clearly did not understand the first newsletter. These letters were apparently written by people who were either so successful in school that they are too brainwashed to understand what we said, or they were written by people who never attended school and are so isolated from reality that they still do not know what is going on in classrooms today. When we receive such letters of criticism that have no basis in reality, we grade them and return them to their authors in an attempt to jolt the authors back into reality. We hope that if we can jolt them back into reality, even momentarily, we can then reach them with this information about the destruction being caused by the educational system. We take the liberty of grading these letters for neatness, organization, typing skills (if applicable) and content. Grades range from an "A" to an "F".

If you have received your graded letter and you need an additional jolt of humiliation to remind you of what is happening to children every day in our schools, just return your letter to us with your name and address clearly printed on it. We will gladly publish your graded letter so that everyone can see it. To get your graded letter published, you will also need to send a fifty-cent donation which is our current rate for public embarrassment. For an additional fifty cents, we will include a public reprimand, similar and equal to the type inflicted upon children by educators. But we will only do this because we are willing to try almost anything to jolt you back into reality long enough to hear what we have to say.
