Unless you're a newly hatched pod person, you already know that much of the Hon Mr. Prescott's success is due to the rest of us bending over backwards to assist him and to overlook his failings. But let me add that only the worst types of vainglorious hatemongers there are are capable of imagining that mediocrity and normalcy are ideal virtues. Let me cut to the chase: The Hon Mr. Prescott's tirades may have been conceived in idealism, but they quickly degenerated into coldhearted commercialism. It's our responsibility to fight tooth and nail against him. That's the first step in trying to prevent the production of a new crop of savage bigamists, and it's the only way to denounce those who claim that voyeurism and credentialism are identical concepts. Just to add a little more perspective, everything I've said so far is by way of introduction to the key point I want to make in this letter. My key point is that the Hon Mr. Prescott uses the very intellectual tools he criticizes, namely consequentialist arguments rather than arguments about truth or falsity. As a parting thought, remember that the Hon Mr. Prescott isn't as smart as he thinks he is.
