    The following are simply some random thoughts that have been rattling about my head of late and that I'd like to let out -- a little house cleaning, if you will. One of the first facts we should face is that Mangrate is an opportunist. That is, it is an ideological chameleon, without any real morality, without a soul. An old joke tells of the optimist who falls off a 60-story building and, as he whizzes past the 35th floor, exclaims, "So far, so good!" But it is not such blind optimism that causes Mangrate's coadjutors to think that they can promote mediocrity over merit. Mangrate embraces conformism with open arms. And if that seems like a modest claim, I disagree. It's the most radical claim of all. 

    I use such language purposefully -- and somewhat sardonically -- to illustrate how Mangrate keeps trying to legitimize the fear and hatred of the privileged for the oppressed. And if we don't remain eternally vigilant, it will really succeed. No one that I speak with or correspond with is happy about this situation. Of course, I don't speak or correspond with quasi-devious, jaded rotters, Mangrate's deputies, or anyone else who fails to realize that Mangrate's prevarications are not an abstract problem. They have very concrete, immediate, and unpleasant consequences. For instance, solecism is not merely an attack on our moral fiber. It is also a politically motivated attack on knowledge. If you've read this far, then you probably either agree with me or are on the way to agreeing with me. Call me a cynic, but it is singularly apt that I haven't the foggiest idea why Mangrate wants to rally for a cause that is completely void of moral, ethical, or legal validity. The mere mention of that fact guarantees that this letter will never get published in any mass-circulation periodical that Mangrate has any control over. But that's inconsequential, because only the impartial and unimpassioned mind will even consider that the picture I am presenting need not be confined to Mangrate's manifestos. It applies to everything it says and does. 

    What a cunning coup on the part of Mangrate's slaves, who set out to overthrow democratic political systems and got as far as they did without anyone raising an eyebrow. Mangrate does, occasionally, make a valid point. But when it says that it is not only acceptable, but indeed desirable, to commit confrontational, in-your-face acts of violence, intimidation, and incivility, that's where the facts end and the ludicrousness begins. Mangrate loves getting up in front of people and telling them that it is the ultimate authority on what's right and what's wrong. It then boasts about how it'll impose ideology, control thought, and punish virtually any behavior it disapproves of one day. It's all part of the media spectacle that is Mangrate. Of course, it soaks it up and wallows in it like a pig in mud. Speaking of pigs and mud, Mangrate's worshippers claim to have no choice but to remove society's moral barriers and allow perversion to prosper. I wish there were some way to help these miserable, dim-witted dunderheads. They are outcasts, lost in a world they didn't make and don't understand. I challenge you to ponder this subject with the broadest vision possible.

    I, for one, do not believe that Mangrate exists, either in the greater sense or the lesser. I am an Eggsistentialist. Apologiies to St. Thomas Aquinas

    Hokie, mind if I print off a few dozen copies of this?  I think it would be fun to slip them under some wiper blades in the Wal-Mart parking lot.  :D  Sounds like something I'd say to Roblox Studios http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=54958747

    Ok - I've been rewiring a kitchen for friend, come home and find out we are now searching for the elusive Mangrate - ain't me.....

    I still think it's Nola - he has enough distinct personalities to have at least 4 or 5 handles......

    "Who is Mangrate?"

    The real question is, who isn't? If we really stop to think about it, isn't there a little Mangrate in us all? Peace, love, and Mangrate to all.

    I apologize. My joke took a turn for the worst, and I must say I'm sorry to all... (sigh) I didn't think pork chops on my titties could happen to me, but this is getting weird.

    OK, I'm not going to read 89 posts on this subject, but reading the title just struck me that, just as Mangrate starts to stand up, one of his buds would jump to his feet and say "I'm Mangrate", then another "No, I'm Mangrate", and then they all stand and start shouting "I'm Mangrate."
