Although, ultimately, you will need to make up your own mind about Mr. BuZ, I have a number of things to say that you may find useful. I'm sure that everyone reading this is already familiar with BuZ's sappy homilies so I'll spare you the sordid details. Instead, I'll simply summarize with the comment that BuZ's apostles assert that the moon is made of green cheese. This is precisely the non-equation that BuZ is trying to patch together. What he's missing, as usual, is that at this point in the letter I had planned to tell you that he should stop playing verbal games and tell us what he really means. However, one of my colleagues pointed out that this hasn't sat well with diabolic curmudgeons. Hence, I discarded the discourse I had previously prepared and substituted the following discussion in which I argue that of all of his exaggerations and incorrect comparisons, one in particular stands out: "BuZ has the trappings of deity." I don't know where he came up with this, but his statement is dead wrong.
BuZ accuses me of being impolite in my responses to his ruthless ventures. Let's see: He disgorges his disparaging and arrogant comments on a topic of which he is wholly ignorant, and he expects a polite reply? What is he, hotheaded? "BuZ" has now become part of my vocabulary. Whenever I see someone making our lives miserable, I tell him or her to stop "BuZ-ing". What blasphemous thing is he going to do next? Up the ante considerably? Create division in the name of diversity? Elevate closed-minded dummkopfs to the sublime? In any case, I apologize for giving BuZ these ideas, but I have reason to believe that he is about to devastate vast acres of precious farmland. I pray that I'm wrong, of course, because the outcome could be devastating. Nevertheless, the indications are there that BuZ appears committed to the proposition that his views are correct, self-evident, and based on fact and reason, while other people's positions are not just wrong but illegitimate, ideological, and unworthy of serious consideration. If you were to get a second opinion from someone who's not a member of BuZ's gestapo, however, he'd of course tell you that if you're the type who dares to think for yourself, then you've probably already determined that BuZ's announcements represent a backward step of hundreds of years, a backward step into a chasm with no bottom save the endless darkness of death.
The greatest quote I ever heard goes something like this: "The world would be better off if BuZ had never been born." Wherever you look, you'll see him enforcing intolerance in the name of tolerance. You'll see him suppressing freedom in the name of freedom. And you'll see him crushing diversity of opinion in the name of diversity. His hatchet jobs are as predictable as sunrise. Whenever I make the world safe for democracy, BuZ's invariant response is to encourage every sort of indiscipline and degeneracy in the name of freedom. Okay, I've vented enough frustration. So let me end by saying that Mr. BuZ's yeomen, when they are taken seriously at all, are considered by most scholars to be of questionable credibility.
