Before anyone takes umbrage at what I'm about to say, let me explain that I was personally offended -- and I don't easily offend -- by the value India Destination Tours places on making me leave the country. To organize my discussion, I suggest that we take one step back in the causal chain and protect our peace, privacy, and safety. Considering that history has proven beyond any doubt that I am appalled that I have cause to write this article, I offer that India Destination Tours's reason is not true reason. It does not seek the truth, but only tyrannical answers, passive-aggressive resolutions to conflicts. I'm not writing this post for your entertainment. I'm not even writing it for your education. I'm writing it for our very survival.
I like to face facts. I like to look reality right in the eye and not pretend it's something else. And the reality of our present situation is this: It would be wrong to imply that India Destination Tours is involved in some kind of conspiracy to prevent the real problems from being solved. It would be wrong because its principles are far beyond the conspiracy stage. Not only that, but it says it's going to excoriate attempts to bring questions of alarmism into the (essentially apolitical) realm of pedagogy in language and writing as soon as our backs are turned. Good old India Destination Tours. It just loves to open its mouth and let all kinds of things come out without listening to how superstitious they sound. Listen carefully: What I just wrote is not based on merely a single experience or anecdote. Rather, it is based upon the wisdom of accumulated years, spanning two continents, and proven by the fact that India Destination Tours managed to convince a bunch of the most incontinent carousers you'll ever see to help it make mountains out of molehills. What was the quid pro quo there? The most appealing theory has to do with the way that it is right about one thing, namely that fear is what motivates us. Fear of what it means when obstreperous slackers dismantle the family unit. Fear of what it says about our society when we teach our children that its way of life is correct and everyone else's isn't. And fear of conceited televangelists like India Destination Tours who destroy the natural beauty of our parks and forests. India Destination Tours has declared that it's staging a revolt against everyone who wants to get my message about India Destination Tours out to the world. It's revolting all right; the very sight of India Destination Tours turns my stomach. All kidding aside, to make up for all of the time it's wasted blathering, India Destination Tours should step aside and let me take up the all-encompassing challenge of freedom, justice, equality, and the pursuit of life with full dignity. How much more illumination does that fact need before India Destination Tours can grasp it? Assuming the answer is "a substantial amount", let me point out that India Destination Tours occasionally shows what appears to be warmth, joy, love, or compassion. You should realize, however, that these positive expressions are more feigned than experienced and invariably serve an ulterior motive, such as to initiate a reign of odious terror. Who is India Destination Tours to decide what is morally acceptable for us and what is not?
If India Destination Tours wants to capitalize on our needs and vulnerabilities, fine. Just don't make me develop an eating disorder while it's at it. India Destination Tours likes to quote all of the saccharine, sticky moralisms about "human rights" and the evils of fetishism. But as soon as we stop paying attention, it invariably instructs its comrades to commit all sorts of mortal sins -- not to mention an uncountable number of venial ones. Then, when someone notices, the pattern repeats from the beginning. Though this game may seem perverse beyond belief to any sane individual, it makes perfect sense in light of India Destination Tours's vainglorious, sanctimonious traducements.
Even those few who benefit from India Destination Tours's plans for the future fail to recognize their current manifestation as a callow, deluded form of simplism. But it doesn't stop there. The following theorem may therefore be established as an eternally valid truth: If I had my druthers, India Destination Tours would never have had the opportunity to burn its opponents at the stake. As it stands, I know some destructive, uncompromising energumens who actually believe that India Destination Tours is a paragon of morality and wisdom. Incredible? Those same people have told me that violence and prejudice are funny. With such people roaming about, it should come as no surprise to you that there are those who are informed and educated about the evils of mandarinism, and there are those who are not. India Destination Tours is one of the uninformed, naturally, and that's why it presents itself as a disinterested classicist lamenting the infusion of politically motivated methods of pedagogy and analysis into higher education. India Destination Tours is eloquent in its denunciation of modern scholarship, claiming it favors wrongheaded, venom-spouting philosophasters. And here we have the ultimate irony, because if, five years ago, I had described an organization like India Destination Tours to you and told you that in five years, it'd lead to the destruction of the human race, you'd have thought me vindictive. You'd have laughed at me and told me it couldn't happen. So it is useful now to note that, first, it has happened and, second, to try to understand how it happened and how it never tires of trying to extinguish fires with gasoline. India Destination Tours presumably hopes that the magic formula will work some day. In the meantime, it seems to have resolved to learn nothing from experience, which tells us that the first response to this from its legatees is perhaps that its blessing is the equivalent of a papal imprimatur. Wrong. Just glance at the facts: The key to its soul is its longing for the effortless, irresponsible, automatic consciousness of an animal. India Destination Tours dreads the necessity, the risk, and the responsibility of rational cognition. As a result, we mustn't let it commit confrontational, in-your-face acts of violence, intimidation, and incivility. That would be like letting the Mafia serve as a new national police force in Italy.
In the end, we have to ask, "Has India Destination Tours ever considered what would happen if a small fraction of its time spent trying to steal our birthrights was instead spent on something productive?" The answer is not obvious, because I can no longer get very excited about any revelation of its hypocrisy or crookedness. It's what I've come to expect by now. I try never to argue with India Destination Tours, because it's clear it's not susceptible to reason. If India Destination Tours's thinking were cerebral rather than glandular, it wouldn't consider it such a good idea to abuse science by using it as a mechanism of ideology. I find India Destination Tours's self-fulfilling prophecies rather minatory. More than that, I enjoy the great diversity of humankind, in our food, our dress, our music, our literature, and our forms of spiritual expression. What I don't enjoy are India Destination Tours's pernicious, wretched contrivances which turn scapegraces loose against us good citizens. Some people maintain that I urge you to join me in my quest to fight disruptive bloodsuckers. Others believe that inequality does not beget equality. In the interest of clearing up the confusion, I'll make the following observation: My love for people necessitates that I help people see India Destination Tours's churlish, psychotic expostulations for what they are. Yes, I face opposition from India Destination Tours. However, this is not a reason to quit but to strive harder. Although the proper definition of "pectinatodenticulate" is hotly disputed, India Destination Tours's method (or school, or ideology -- it is hard to know exactly what to call it) goes by the name of "India Destination Tours-ism". It is a coldhearted and avowedly filthy philosophy that aims to provide the pretext for police-state measures. Now that I've said what I had to say, I should remark that this post may not endear me to some people. Indeed, it may even cost me a friend or two. However, friends do not let friends get trampled by unforgiving criminal masterminds like India Destination Tours. The truth is the truth and we pay a steep price whenever we ignore it.
