> My goal for this letter is to change the minds of those who

> death, taxes, and Mr. Pugliese doing some nutty thing every
> few weeks.

> Mr. Pugliese has been deluding people into believing that he
> can ignore rules, laws, and protocol without repercussion.
> Don't let him delude you, too. Please humor me for a moment
> while I state that I sometimes ask myself whether the
> struggle to express my views is worth all of the potential
> consequences. And I consistently answer by saying that if we
> let him shower the worst classes of callous propagandists
> there are with undeserved praise, all we'll have to look
> forward to in the future is a public realm devoid of culture
> and a narrow and routinized professional life untouched by
> the highest creations of civilization. Mr. Pugliese's
> opinions carry multiple connotations, ranging from the
> prodigal (they feed on the politics of resentment,
> alienation, frustration, anger, and fear) to the
> short-sighted (they keep essential documents hidden from the
> public until they become politically moot). Which brings me
> to my next criticism of Mr. Pugliese. The facts are in: Mr.
> Michael Pugliese and what I call nugatory New Age
> gutter-dwellers are cut from the same cloth.
