Kid,

I love your input / output / voice, C., but find it sort of hilarious that you seem to be unable to criticize any way of thinking you disagree with without pouring a huge sackfull of venomous and often contradictory hatewords on your target(s).

You did a great Facebook rant a couple months ago that viciously dismissed any non-professional artist who reads poetry or tries to play music in public as a "hipster shithead jerkoff Bukowski / Burroughs / Kerouac wanna-bee who should shut the fuck up and stay in their parent's basement"; it went on and on and on with so many "motherfuckers" and "cocksuckers" and such savage spitting hatred that I actually began to laugh out loud, partly because, yeah, there are a number of poets and musicians out there who are self-deluded as to their talent level, but your raw red rage at their mere existence hit a point where it became humorous, a parody of "the Hater" and an unwitting self-satire, rather than a rough tweak to the noses of the self-important.

Today, you tell us that those who don't share the views of the "84%" of the planet who have "some sort of faith" in God (where did you get that specific percentage? And how? My guess is "not scientifically") are "liberal fascist narrow-minded yippie yoga chakra-believing fucks" and etc. Fine if you don't like liberals, but you, yourself, much more resemble a "liberal" than a "fascist". These words are not synonyms, bro. The Nazis put liberals in the death camps right along with homosexuals, Jews, Gypsies, and people with the wrong kind of art on their walls or books in their shelves. If there had been any Filipinos in Germany, they'd have gone in right alongside the other "subhuman non-aryans".

Liberals can be irritating, but I (and most people) will not accept Liberalism as equaling Nazism or even "yippie-ism", whatever that is now. A Yippie USED to be a member of the Youth International Party in the 60s, but I don't think they exist any more. C., you indicate you believe in a God, that is, (correct me if I have it wrong) an invisible Being outside yourself who is the source of all good, but you curse and condemn anyone who buys into something crazy like "chakras" or "yoga". Well, chakras are not easily proven to exist by hard science--much like "God", we have only anecdotal evidence. But yoga is a visible, proven form of effective exercise that can actually be seen to work; it is not a political party or a theory; it doesn't exist "up there" or require any "faith", only work. Yoga redeemed iconic bad-guy wrestler Jake "the Snake" Roberts from being a near-dead crackhead, for instance.

For anyone who was interested in the nature of your particular "God" and wanted to hear more about that God--well, we don't get to hear about it, because you are too busy bringing the hate to go into that. You're a good writer, C.,--TOO good to rely on the totally lazy, typically-Facebookian approach of carpet-bombing the "enemy" with an unoriginal string of "fuck you shit liberal cocksucker nazi fuck shit new ager piss shit hipster fuck fucks, etc..." The naughty words are so old and tired now; they no longer have power to shock, and labelling other people in a way that reduces them to nothing more than labels is something I'd expect from a prejudiced bigot, not someone like YOU, brutha...
