I've been told there has
been some media attention concerning this blog recently. It seems
some “people” feel that a criminal like me should not be allowed
to voice their views publically in such an unfiltered format.
I couldn't express the
depth of such ignorance even if I tried. So, I won't. And, instead
I'll simply comment on the reason why this kind of small-mindedness
even exists.
These “people”, who
would so gladly have the truth silenced just because it comes from
the mouth of a “monster”, can't think for themselves. They depend
on modern media to tell them what they currently accepted “trending”
thoughts are for the day. So, the mere thought that their precious
medium could be contaminated with “unpopular” ideas, is
terrifying to them.
Of course, it's not just
the modern media junkies who fear such exposure to “unpopular”
ideas. This is the standard reaction that the “sheep” (herd
animals) have anytime they sense that the herd-mentality might ot be
as “safe” as they thought. It is the age old source of all
censorship; “baaa baaa baaa!” the sheep cry!
“Silence the wolf!”
But, silencing the wolf
does nothing to remove the threat. In fact, it is the silent wolf
that the sheep should fear, for she is the one on the hunt.
And what about that
comforting voice that guides the sheep to pasture; the voice that
tells them where to graze, when to sleep, and how to mate; the voice
that comes from atop of the hill, speaking in a language that the
sheep will never comprehend beyond the short “soundbite” commands
that tell the herd what to think? What about this voice that leads
them, protects them, and assures them all is well? Isn't that the
voice they should really fear? The one that feeds not on one or two
weaklings or strays, but ultimately devours the entire flock! It is
the voice of the most deceptive, dangerous, destructive, and ravenous
creature that ever lived. It is the voice of the shepherd; a calm
human voice that turns the younglings into lamb chops. It is the
voice of the devil himself, and the greatest predator of all.
So, “Woof woof woof!”
I will not be silent, as
long as I can speak, as long as I can warn, as long as I can remind
the “sheep” that I am here, and that my kind will always be here,
warranted by nature herself, to restore balance, and health to the
herd, by exposing the truth, and ripping open the belly of those who
deceive, and the minds of those who would be deceived. I remind the
shepherds of this world, that no predator can tame the wilderness for
long. And, as long as there is a wilderness, there will be wolves,
silenced or not.
