...No One Home...

.
.
.
Nothing is happening, 
has happened, or will
and little precludes us 
from climbing our "hill"
—as the "field" is level 
on which we all play, 
and a loss on its surface 
is righteous and plain.
.
Our government's moral and shoots a straight line; 
our churches the ticket to heaven sublime, 
while we have pro-sports for the truth that it brings 
as our *balls* charge about on a throw or a swing.
.
We've *rules* we've emplaced, and they're justified too. 
They cut the same way for the rich and poor, true!
.
Too, we are a people who don't get confused
"tough love" for our brothers and sisters bemused.
.
We are best served by police institutions, 
enforcement of law is a quick execution
and science becomes us—so noble it glistens—
prisons get filled by its crisp impositions.
.
The rich don't get richer, 
they earn what they'd take! 
...And nothing is hidden, 
abstruse, or been faked! 
The claims of the fringe 
raise a frivolous fuss
no proof of "conspiracy" 
... "abuses of trust"!
.
All is as well as is well as can be...
and the truth of this fact is what we, in fact, see! 
We're upright and moral and clear in our eye, 
and we're fairevenhanded, up front... and don't lie!
.
Conspiracy's ground from the shells of its nuts! 
Liberals quibble then prove they've no guts! 
Your water is clean and the air to be breathed 
is as free of pollution as it's free of disease!
.
The Earth is not warming to threaten our poles. 
The hole in the ozone is blown from ones nose! 
Virgin forests remain to be used in due course; 
Our Bible has promised! Earth's our resource.
.
UFO's fabled, or seen to this day 
would have natural causes explained well away, 
and exploited for gain by mere thieves from the fringe
—these prey on the gullible and drive them unhinged! 
This stands as a symbol for weakness—in kind—
as a loss of ones sanity or ones rational mind! 
These claims are ALL bogus and shan't stand the scrutiny 
which nurtures conditions to lead this cult's mutiny!
.
We are ALONE in an aggregate sense! 
We're not detected—and "ETs" are nonsense. 
WE stand apart from the natural sphere; 
this MARKS our proud mandate to prosecute queers!
.
See? We are the jewel 
in our crown of creation. 
None have achieved 
all the glory we're paid. 
We can depend 
on ourselves and God's mission 
to keep us on courses 
for which we were MADE!
.
We have rejected the pagans and devils. 
We know a God that is loving and grateful
We are a race with a strong healthy visage, 
so we are best served by a God... ...in our image!
.
We have a *true* faith unblemished and sane, 
and it's made from a cloth we MUST sing in refrain! 
Intolerance serves us (to keep our strain pure!), 
and our ethics condone it—of that we are SURE
It's our faith and our trust in our Fathers (inured) 
that our mores reflect what "the man" does is—pure!
.
We have been BLAMELESS, and we have been FAIR. 
We've been COURAGEOUS! What's true is declared! 
Too, we had the vision, the talent, and drive to wrest 
from cruel nature what allows us to thrive!
.
We are the champions! There's naught before us
We *earn* what we take, and so take it we must... 
as our clocks do the ticking for us all alone; 
there's no one else out there; there's no one else—home.

If you believe any part of the preceding I have some choice plots on the *dark* side of the moon I'd like to interest you in... go, and once there, verily, stay.  A person using the totem above as support and cudgel above fills me with revulsion and disgust.  The Trust-funders Koch brothers would revel in every line as right true and just.  Though where's it writ large that that men can inherit huge wealth and abuse the poor by right?  Not around me where I can help it.

...But seriously, truer than not (?) ... everything we "know" is wrongmistaken, misunderstood, misguided ... imprudent, erroneous, injudicious, incorrect, or wrongly perceived. My poem is a sardonic portrait of my opposition's self-involved prosecution of their very real sociopathy.  It is self-hating as much as people hating.

Currently, fueled by a hubris as bloated as it is unfounded, too many—too quickly made—assumptions conveniently precipitate to elitist impiety, intellectual impotence, and an ethical impropriety: three strikes, then irrelevance.  Then comes arrogance, self-importance, and a huge destructive conceit. Next thing you know?

Why... ...lying to oneself becomes deriguerre and the order of the day... right and proper!  Satisfactions based on such become harder and harder to achieve and despair becomes the only condition celebrated.

Consider, *S*cientists lately bestow a current wisdom that, but for a propitiously convenient moon?  The Earth would stumble around on its axis like a fat drunken friar. This is to suggest another "reason" for our rarity in the universe—another inflating variable one must add to the Drake equation to push even the idea of ET—the obvious and ubiquitous "other"— further and further away.

...If the case in fact?  Then, should there not be evidence for similar rotational frivolities from the planets Venus and Mars? These are, indeed, two easily observable planetary examples which lack such a stabilizing moon as ours!  Too, there's the, I'm betting, errant presumption by theorists that mere stability is compelling enough to facilitate the life process.  I suspect that unknown associative aspects of the moon upon its planet provides for moons a little more creative than are lectured, eh?  I offer that's the safer bet: that we have no freakin' idea.

They are either tumbling or they are not, so do try to keep an undeserved and self-revealing sneer out of any answers, can't you, you scientisticly (sic) scabrous skeptibunky swine? No, not name-calling, booby! Assessment!

To those trifling persons pretending they "don't get it" so as to buffer, imo, their cowardly facade—or pretense—of a "confident" rationality?  All appropriate respect to you along with my condolences.  It remains, sadly, the practitioners of my sardonic poem above—a poem describing evil in its most duplicitous and misleading form—can just piss off.

Regarding claims concerning my accused dearth of clarity. Actually, I'm clear as crystal while still remaining remotely civil. Moreover, my civility is an affectation I find increasingly more difficult to extend into the ufological debate, eh? See, even as I indicate my contention that you just go to hell, I'd aspire to an explication such that you also... enjoy the trip.

It remains, presently, I don't have any reflex respect for nor will I easily validate your presumptively duplicitous, I suspect inherently mendacious, and finally ironically regressive paradigm; a rabid mindset filling me with a revulsion so profound I'd rather give Dick Cheney a tongue bath than suffer its least noxious imposition or weaseling meme. I trust this was clear enough? Everybody get that? DE? DB? GS? RR?

Don't humiliate yourself going all "wide-eyed" and "concerned" wondering "where the anger comes from" or why there has to be such drama! Such passion! It is because, good sir or madam, you choose to ask that very mocking question or express just that phony concern!

See, in the asking you prove you've had your head buried up your ass so far and for so long that you —or the best parts of you— have likely already expired in suffocation. Your facile concern for anger and drama does not mask your facilitation of that anger provoking the passion in the first place!  See? It's your behavior that's first offensive. Your authoritarian and unilateral, then autocratic and hypocritical double-standard regarding an unconscionable support for the few at the expense of the many enrages the empathetic non-psychopath! You sneer?

I sneer in turn. Your faith is not superior to mine. Your mores no more refined. Your ethics hold no higher moral ground. Your morality is no more righteous than my own. Frankly?

I perceive my tested faith immanent and superior, my mores vastly more refined, my ethics comparatively higher-grounded, with a morality decidedly more righteous that my leadership's, my society's, any institution's, corporate body's, agency's... yours frankly—my whole culture's when it comes to it.

But wait!  I am an individual who did what he said he was going to do, who stood tall when called to crisis, who stood against that which required its opposition when it was dangerous to do so. I look at the governing and leadership bodies aforementioned and assess them by the same rubric with which they would assess me. I find them, the same swindling swine alluded to in the poetry above, wanting at best—criminal at worst.

Show me your government, your institution, your corporatism, your agency, your bureaucracy — your church... and I'll show you a collection of sorry psychopathic entities, in the aggregate, which are unflatteringly assessed by the fruit that they produce, only. Verily, the good that they do interred with their bones, as the evil they do lives on and on. Moreover, these entities betray the aspirations of the past even as they betray the trust of persons in present day. Insult added to injury? These clear criminals will skate clear of recrimination—seemingly above the law.

That's just not to be tolerated...

What to do then? I must have an answer, eh? All this whining and complaining must have some kind of alternative "Dodge-cleaning" apparatus, putting these iterated problems to rest straight away—a way to expiate the anger and drama. Right?

"Cosi-Cosa," pilgrim!

Moreover, I don't have to have written the entire alternative score to criticize same, especially when the only one dancing is Dolores Umbridge—Argus Filch's sweaty and accommodating paw on her blubbery ass. Though, I'll certainly contribute humbly to the thinking on a new melody. Too, respect reflexively denied shall be pulled from the niggardly marrow of the offender's literary bones.  See, it is not about finding answers to problems, it's about facing the answers that are already there.

Sorry not, I prefer Mozart to banging trashcan lids and won't succumb to the dictates or prerogatives of a Western-biased world view. I won't bow to its self-serving logic, its inappropriate arrogance, its unearned hubris... ...and its exclusively Cartesian artlessness— without a fight! Rather, I'll hoist the black flag as appropriate, board hubristic ships, and cut the obligatory literary throat as I must with nothing for which I should be remotely sorry. "Dexter" in the literary flesh. No apologies, it seems to be the muse dictated task at hand, if fate assigned.

More warning than ever given me; buckle in. Prosecutors of the poem above, gird your flaccid loins.

Restore John Ford!

Letter Of Resignation

TO:  Barbour County, Alabama Board of Education

FROM:  Alfred Lehmberg
              Enterprise, Alabama 36330

RE:  Letter of Resignation as Special Education Teacher for Barbour County

October 2000 


Sir and Madam;

I've never quit anything in my life. That I retreated from this opportunity so abruptly is a testament to the dauntingly apparent practical impossibility of the task. Regretfully, it is also an indictment on society for forgetting its own, damning them to their squalid perditions, and even willfully encouraging them to take their eventual places in prisons of low wage subservience or very real prisons. Finally, this letter is more than a letter of simple resignation, it is a regrettable report from the field on the state of public education as it is served up to poor black American citizens from a state very near the bottom of a total educational effort.

I embraced this opportunity to teach wholeheartedly, but as I continued to look to the near, mean, and far term, I could forecast neither a positive student outcome, or even the most minimal personal success for my absolute BEST effort. Indeed, I was fearful of becoming embroiled in a subsequently discovered ongoing legal entanglement specifically with regard to special education at Clayton high school. But I digress. My unfavorable conclusion to quit was based on a careful analysis of my limited experience, the tools and materials available to me, the lack of a knowledgeable, and in my opinion crucial, special education coordinator, and the quality, serviceability, and acceptability of the facilities and equipment. This only begins an incomplete list of contraindicating qualifiers.

Additionally, the incomplete IEP (Individual Ed Program) records were in abominable condition on receipt, left in a cardboard orange-box in an unlocked room, and (in my admittedly limited and inexperienced estimation) did not match the reality of the student concerned. Moreover, the numbers of students, well over fifteen in some classes to begin with, were an unending flux of changing behaviors as students seemingly wandered from class to class with confusingly abrupt schedule changes. This suggested a lack of any clear plan or consistency, and a complete lack of individuality for the Barbour county special needs student. Lastly, the transit time, while rather long at over two hours, was still a pleasant country drive on nice roads with the news of the world piped in by National Public Radio as an added educational bonus, and so was not a real factor in my regrettable decision to leave.

My experience as an educator is limited to the military platform, a recent college education I took FULL advantage of, and a successful internship. My public education experience, admittedly, is nil. It may BE that I assess my Barbour county experience harshly as a result of it not living up to some rose-colored view of education, in general, that I may have had. But that, Sir and Madam, would not serve accuracy.  I believe I have a clear understanding of what is required for the successful outcomes of students in public education. I believe I have an effective grasp of the prerequisites entailed in the production of successfully useful young adults. Moreover, at a world-weary advanced age I have very few comfortable illusions that I would even WISH to continue or maintain. Hardships and challenges have been my stock in trade for many years. This was not my first time at a rodeo, not even one of this type.

The tools and materials available to me were, frankly, a humiliating embarrassment to the sensibilities of this *junior* educator. Reluctant to even handle the foul moldering mounds of immaterial, tattered, and outdated books in a TRUE fetid pile, I discovered, amidst the roaches, candy wrappers, and rat excreta, that no collection of irrelevant volumes was younger than twenty years. By all educated accounts, most of these books take a step forward only to take two or even three steps back with regard to engendering stereotypes, incorrect information, and corrosive bias. Besides, how can we expect students to find respect for books so OBVIOUSLY disrespected?

In addition to their stridently bogus relevancy these *books* also stank like old sweat and vomit—further increasing their ironic lack of appeal. Echoing this astonishing lack of simple relevant textbooks was a complete lack of even murky field-specific curricular guidance... far beyond the wishes of a new teacher to have a clear idea and understanding of *what* to teach. 

There was NO established curricula—only the chance *finding* of skeletal documents explaining (tersely) the occupational diploma, and a vague pamphlet regarding the life skill portfolio, pointed in the area of WHAT I was supposed to teach—at all. Given a supreme or even superhuman effort perhaps an experienced teacher could manufacture (certainly have already funded) a complete curriculum of some relevant quality... but whatever it was, it was clear that it was to come from ME if it was to come, and this was a condition (subsequently discovering the ominously ongoing lawsuit) that THIS new teacher found particularly unsettling and disquieting. Finally, I found the worrisome lack of forthcoming-ness from Barbour county regarding these matters outside the bounds of what one could call a zone of minimal comfort. This worrying development did not contribute to a desire to stay.

Every school system that I have visited, observed ...where I have volunteered or interned—each has had a "hands-on" special education coordinator that knows the system, reviews the records, assesses their quality, and generally (I would imagine) saves these institutions of public education thousands of dollars in avoidable due-process imbroglio. 

Barbour county does not appear to have one, or having one, is so fractionated and overburdened with other duties that this oversight of crucial auditing is just not getting done. Moreover, this oversight is so critical to the first few years of a serious special education teacher's development because so much of the process is EXPOSED by the records! Its quantifiable results are measured by them. It is in fact the very curriculum, as I understand the process. The lack of respectful attention to the records I examined was daunting to this new teacher at any rate and certainly contributed to my decision to leave.

I arrived a week early to prepare my classroom and found, on the floor, a pile of outdated and unserviceable computers (Trash 80 and what-not). The room smelled like a pile of soiled clothes (the lack of a serviceable air conditioner would have made the room truly uninhabitable), the bulletin board was gouged and almost unusable, and there was, inexplicably and astoundingly, NO WAY TO INITIATE communication with the front office!

The vice principal was in the next room behind two doors, but I had to leave the classroom to get him, and he was often away from his office. Add to this a broken desk, and a chair too large for the space, and one has the beginnings of the less than ideal classroom. I cleaned all the surfaces of the room with my own materials, cobbled together the best of the computers, and begged, or otherwise appropriated, the rest of the equipment from fellow teachers: a broken lectern, an overhead projector older than I was, and an old Macintosh (the rest of the school is PC) I was never able to get to work... 

The classroom was regularly used (over my protest!) as a shortcut by school personnel and casual students. On one occasion (and right in the middle of my class) it was invaded by a crowd of chattering students and the school nurse who noisily wheeled a screaming young woman (who was having a baby) right through my classroom as if we were not even there.

Indeed the classroom was a maze of meaningless and even bizarre interruptions—two of my most socially useful and crucial senior classes were both interrupted midstream for breaks or lunch. The breaks were especially inconvenient as the kids spent the time loading up on candy and soda to be burned off non-productively in my classroom. 

When I asked the beleaguered but valiant principal why this was so he embarrassedly reported that it was one of the few ways to raise revenue for needed school supplies.  God but it all seemed to be such patent disrespect to the students and the spirit of the school. 

Finally—there was no room to physically manage the overpopulation of students... contributing to a powder keg that was predictably eventual. The classroom was, as already mentioned, infested, and many times provided disruption to the class. At this point I am beginning to feel DRIVEN away.

The IEP's themselves were on the way to being in the same condition as the textbooks and classroom, left (as already mentioned) unsecured in an unlocked room. I did not have a record for every student. The information I got when I asked about their whereabouts was that they were, perhaps, in the counselor's office, or even in the offices of the Barbour education board. Regardless, these records were not current, relevant, or readily available to me, making me feel like I didn't have the tools necessary to drain what was becoming my own ever-increasing swamp. 

The records I DID have also seemed decidedly inaccurate, making impossible demands of students who did not demonstrate to me the requisite skill to accomplish the demanded task. Asking one student to pull main ideas from a passage that in reality the student could not even read, is an example. The professional anguish this suggested was daunting to this educator of limited experience and made me consider at this point even graceless retreat!

It is an understatement to merely report that there are too many children in the classroom for efficient special needs teaching. There were too many total, too many exceptionalities, and these were too capriciously changing. The classroom was packed for critical instruction with no room, potential, or capability for isolation, or any kind of physical student management. 

Isolation is CRITICAL to reduce stimulation in a conflicted or challenged young adult, to provide for meaningful individualization, and to keep an unwelcome and inappropriate exuberance from precipitating to the rest of the class. There was no room to physically manage these children but to take another child who may have been on task from that task , and move the offending student to another location. In many cases the students flatly refused to comply, anyway. My only recourse was to eject them from the classroom, and away from the task, to a largely ineffective meeting with a large wooden paddle from the vice-principal. Heavy sigh...

Additionally, every day another student or two would arrive, unannounced, with an incomprehensible schedule change—providing another distraction to a classroom condition already well over the line into the wholly untenable. The number of the children, lack of comprehendible records, and their high sugar distractibility made individualization—teaching—laughably impossible. Advice from my "mentor teacher" included teaching one subject to the class and individualizing the evaluation, and adding an addendum to the *records*. 

While seeming to address the problem this method is a likely waste of the education dollar already so jealously spent, and does not have the desired outcome of drawing everything possible from the individual special needs student, anyway. Besides, it contributes to meaningless social promotion, and, I'm convinced, only fills prisons later on. 

As a sidebar, not spending a dollar now to save perhaps a hundred dollars on black hole institutions of incarceration, later on, is not what I am in the teaching profession for. I want to teach a kid how to read, and do long division. The field that I am in requires a high degree of individualization to accomplish that, especially necessary with the bafflingly changing population of students. Barbour County makes this extremely difficult to achieve.

Add to this a frustrating lack of real communication that irritated the kids—many times I could just not understand what they were saying (a predictable result of defacto segregation). Additionally, there is a huge capacity for violence (likely sugar-fueled) that had me constantly avoiding fights in my classroom—becoming physically involved with them outside, and hearing about others involving, even, the student leadership of the school. All the classes on my last day were noticeably depleted as a result of one morning brawl, for example. It was an interestingly busy first three weeks, but interesting only in the manner of the Chinese curse (may one live in interesting times), and sadly, not suggesting that I would be effective were I to stay on. Finally, it only contributed to my decision to leave.

The harshness of the kids was expected, I hasten to point out. They did not contribute to my decision to quit. It was the seeming disrespect that the county had for them that finally did. I could not be a supporter of this inexplicable and ironic (certainly ultimately disastrous) de facto segregation. I could not be a member of that kind of team. And, what could it be but the clear and demonstrable disrespect of Barbour County for the sensibilities, moralities, and realities of its rural special education population and, indeed—entire student body. One wonders what well-hidden old southern aristocracy or outdated ideal allows this unfortunate and cross purposed educational conundrum to continue. I mean no disrespect, and then I mean every disrespect!

I gave Barbour County its money's worth. I demonstrated such and was prepared to devote the focus of my life to an educational effort for the special needs kids of Barbour County. I arrived early; I worked late. I financed its production from my own pocket. The experience personally cost me about $500 dollars. 

I felt MY responsibility to the county was honored, but Perhaps Barbour county feels that its responsibility to the teachers of its children stops with its inappropriately tiny paycheck. This may be symptomatic of the conditions at Barbour county schools. Plainly, it is disrespect personified to be in alert status, playing an educated game of moving selected students from the forth stanine to the fifth stanine, a practice of other alert schools, but a practice gratifyingly condemned by Clayton's principal who would prefer to "educate ALL of the children ALL of the time," The best, and likely only, ethical alternative.

Solutions to insoluble problems are largely a matter of showing respect, I've discovered in the winter of my old age. This high school needs an infusion of it in the form of facilities, many more teachers, and in as much as I saw as much as a sixth of the entire student body in my class (and I was one teacher in twenty-four), many of them should be special needs teachers.

These kids ARE getting their education, sir and madam, but it's coming from their group of peers, "HOT" 105, TV, and gangsta' rap—not from the classrooms of Barbour county. Seemingly, Barbour county is where the student's society demonstrates contempt for them—driving them into the arms of the former.

The lack of respect demonstrated for them in their classrooms with regard to educational materials... that smell (as if they have been splashed with urine and vomit) is returned exponentially in the smoky contempt and disrespect that Barbour county students generate, display, and shed reflexively, automatically, and with regularity. 

This is not restricted to the special needs population but is rampant from its "top" students on down. Please be advised that these are not the piqued and offended sensibilities of an old soldier used to (a largely mythical) military discipline. All allowances that can be made allow for that. My observations try to carry minimal bias. All I mean is to give these kids something to respect, demand that respect, and usually get it! Fill real schools now, or tragic prisons later on . . . right now I perceive Barbour in a tragically avoidable actualization of the latter.

I am reluctant to contribute to that, and so I am regretfully compelled to withdraw. My apologies to the County for any inconvenience I may have caused, but, in all honesty, sir and madam, the fault was not mine.  

...Remains, finally, the advice of the County's administration to "go ahead and sign" a fraudulent contract I'd already refused to sign because it indicated too much salary based on degrees that I did not have.  That was one straw passed the penultimate, eh?  So, not why did I quit, so much, as why was I driven away?

I suspect that we can in turn suspect an answer to that question...

...A Likely Crime!

.
.
I'm just ONE voice in this crowd, and though I've listened hard (...out loud!) ...beneath contempt: these petty men, who'd counsel we're *alone*, my friend!  Shermer, Nickell, Nye, and Plait: reductionism's holy faith; McGaha, Randi, Penn and Teller: Cartesianistic Bible Sellers.
.
I have listened to these *learned*, grokked their books—aced my college—and they do NAUGHT but leave deep holes ... stunted thinking ... shallow goals.  Grokking's more than one can bear where cowardice connives, mon frére, imagination's not respected—novelty is disrespected, and rejected beyond bounds the Multi-verse does glare and frown...
.
These portend reality, ...though "dissing" facts that won't "agree," and counterfeiting history, just resell old hypocrisy!  They're beyond contempt I've found, in aggregate: most non-profound.
.
I look into a starry sky and see potential, depth and time. I realize that there's enough—of all the truly needed stuff—to sail passed imagination, leaping ANY protestation!
.
More than we'd believe we've sailed... forbidden fictions, legendstales... has happened in those stellar reaches ... there to torment, stress, but teach us!
.
Lost in time and dusty space 
could live the creatures of some race 
who'd solved the problems that we face 
or vanished there without a trace...
Angels, monsters, neither... both... 
things beyond the wholly loathed... 
A paradise... an anxious hell, 
where we would stay or dread to dwell, 
but existing and extant 
beyond conjectured... callous cant. 
.
We'd believe "they" CAN'T be here, assigning them our limits, fears; pretending that they shan't surpass... achievements reached by human craft?  Like we bejewel creation's crown, are not, in fact, creation's clown; and that at best.  We could do worse.  Existence could—well be—that curse!
.
Yes, we pronounce imagined "laws"—tell "others" where their line is drawn! ...Squirty guffaws messing pants at such hubristic arrogance!
.
We pronounce our flawing physics airily like fools not "with it." We ignore new paradigms if they don't fit tradition's rhymes, and we don't care to spend the time to re-do work—a likely crime.
.
We're a bunch of sad pretenders, charlatans and glad offenders living in a noxious past which gloats obscenely, failing tasks! No one finds the facts they need all mixed with "misdirection's" feed, which keeps their status quo alive so they can *live* while WE "survive."
.
Hear them tell you "no free lunch" 
propounding concepts you can't crunch. 
Complacent, they're a feckless bunch; 
plus they're unbrave. That's more than hunch.  
No free lunch?  Tell that to Walmart... 
they're on the "public dole," and stalwart!
.
Something's hidden well, inside, and wrapped within a gauze of lies, and we can't put our finger ON our *strange* discomfort—though clear and strong. We're tied or mated to our fear in ways to make control more *clear*, and so won't question "pretty lies" to weave their phony web—disguised.
.
We are wives and husbands—children ... mothers, fathers, other brethren ... needing forecasts we can trust to plan a future as we must!
.
We would have things solid, useful, realistic, substantialtruthful!
.
...We'll grow tired of your "usual," 
grow cynical—then resentful
Riots in the streets, at last, 
when we discover what's gone passed! 
That time just may be coming fast, 
when you're* the one confused—harassed!
.
I don't have the "facts", I'm told, by churlish goons and shallow scolds. I'm the liar, I'm accused, when I would point where we're abused, or offer that we can't get *facts* from cyber-thugs who grind an "axe"!
.
Something not admitted slinks behind facades of fishy-stinks! Yes, it would change the way we feel to know, at last, what's true and real! Someone knows the real deal, will take what they can grab and steal, and make their judgement (if unreal!) as to, then, how YOU should feel!
.
I'm standing here, my leg is damp; 
you're saying that it's *raining*, champ!
.
Trouble is, I heard your zipper, know the "smirk" and see your whisper, smell ammonia, (used asparagus?)—you should drink more water, "Careless"!
.
I can't believe what you propose; it's blown from Aristotle's nose—that saucers shan't command our skies, that time and space won't prove you* lie, that we are "hidden, unobserved, so quite alone, and undisturbed."
.
I don't believe your mechanisms, I don't go in for your religion, I don't "buy" your evening news, believing cops should never lose.  I'm akimbo as regards the manner of your "manner," pard.  You betray our every trust, and I protest this very much!
.
You have earned my piqued disgust. It grows as you provoke mistrust. Insult (try!) provokes me further, infuriates—increases ardor—and I, at last, regard our sky ... those tiny points of light described, feel space—a living thing—and know you* for the "shit" you sling!
.
...And then you'll feel a righteous blade composed of words (yes, be afraid!) to whisper "anxious incantations," to live forever, be contagious—to be hard lyrics in a song... how wrong you'd been and all along!  You'll atone with every verse, you psychopaths will lift your curse, and we will know the efficacious, each of us be perspicacious... each of us... self-actualized! Accreditation!  Satisfied!
.
Peak experience. Life's fulfillment.  Happiness that's circumfluent!

Klasskurtxianism: It's a word I coined in a mash-up of the names Klass and Kurtz—two CSI heavyweights—to put a name to aspects of their anthropomorphic, arrogant, reductionist, hubristic, Cartesianistic, and cowardly philosophy. "Klasskurtxia" is, I submit, a graceful co-mingling of Onomatopoeia and self-definition clattering concussively if effortlessly off the tongue and palate like a big porcelain urn of live snakes dropped in the CSI Commissary.  The shattered sound of the commission of an intellectual crime like I said.

A conspiracy is always criminal. There is always a "victim" victimized. You, reader!
