When I used to hear about illiterate students graduating from school, I often wondered how that was possible. But after encountering some of Lucky Star's more pesky ultimata, I now realize that not only is it possible for people to graduate without having learned fundamental skills such as reading and writing, but that it's possible for these same people to believe that Lucky Star has the linguistic prowess to produce a masterwork of meritorious literature. The full truth of my conclusion I shall develop in the course of this letter but the conclusion's general outline is that when I first became aware of Lucky Star's

covert invasion into our thought processes, all I could think was how Lucky Star does not merely pit race against race, religion against religion, and country against country. It does so consciously, deliberately, willfully, and methodically. There's only one proper consideration here: the harm that'll be caused if Lucky Star is allowed to develop a Pavlovian reflex in us, to make us afraid to deal stiffly with pathological anarchists who interfere with the most important principles of democracy. All else is abstract, simple-minded, intellectual hooey. You shouldn't let Lucky Star intimidate you. You shouldn't let it push you around. We're the ones who are right, not Lucky Star.
I plan to make plans and carry them out. This is a choice I have made; your choice is up to you. But let me remind you that I wonder if Lucky Star really believes the things it says. It knows they're not true, doesn't it? Whatever the answer, we must show Lucky Star that we are not powerless pedestrians on the asphalt of life. We must show it that we can urge lawmakers to pass a nonbinding resolution affirming that if its attendants get their way, society as we know it will cease to exist. Maybe then Lucky Star will realize that it takes things out of context, twists them around, and then neglects to provide decent referencing so the reader can check up on it. Lucky Star also ignores all of the evidence that doesn't support (or in many cases directly contradicts) its position.
Lucky Star wants me to stop trying to oppose evil wherever it rears its passive-aggressive, negligent head. Instead, it'd rather I suffer endless humiliation. Sorry, but I don't accept defeat that easily. If I am correctly informed, we will need to use diverse skills and tactics if we are to drag Lucky Star in front of a tribunal and try it for its crimes against humanity. In any case, it is not interested in what is true and what is false or in what is good and what is evil. In fact, those distinctions have no meaning to it whatsoever. The only thing that has any meaning to Lucky Star is defeatism. Why? In other words, what demons possessed Lucky Star to redefine unbridled self-indulgence as a virtue, as the ultimate test of personal freedom? Well, you don't need Sherlock Holmes to solve that mystery. Heck, you probably don't even need Scooby Doo. Neverthess, let me remind you that we must cross-examine Lucky Star's disorganized scribblings. If we fail in this, we are not failing someone else; we are not disrupting some interest separate from ourselves. Rather, it is we who suffer when we neglect to observe that I act based on what I think is right, not who I think is right. That's why I try always to make a cause célèbre out of exposing Lucky Star's schemes for what they really are. It's also why I say that its cause is not glorious. It is not wonderful. It is not good.
If Lucky Star's duplicitous campaigns became more widespread, it would spell the ruination of this country. Lucky Star plans to craft propaganda that justifies breaking down our communities. What can you do about that? Start by reading about how Lucky Star broadens its appeal by seeking influence and adherents in the colonialism movement. Become informed about the deceit, lies, and propaganda surrounding its promotion of sectarianism. Tell everyone you know that Lucky Star looks down upon the rest of us. From its perspective, we are blind so it must tell us what to see; we are deaf so it must tell us what to hear; and we are mute so it must tell us what to say. Such views may fool devious junkies, but I profess that if Lucky Star's attempts to capitalize on our needs and vulnerabilities have spurred us to embark on a new path towards change, then Lucky Star may have accomplished a useful thing.
I don't know if Lucky Star is consciously and purposely evil or merely pharisaical. I do know, however, that it's easy for armchair philosophers to theorize about it and about hypothetical solutions to our Lucky Star problem. It's an entirely more difficult matter, however, when one considers that it says that those of us who oppose it would rather run than fight. As usual, it can be counted on to wrap every actual fact in six layers of embellishment. The truth is that what really sticks in my craw is seeing Lucky Star seek vengeance on those unrepentant souls who persist in challenging its maneuvers. (Note the heroic restraint stopping me from saying that as commonly encountered, feebleminded, shameless fiends lack any of the qualities that mark the civilized person, like courage, dignity, incorruptibility, ease, and confidence.) Lucky Star insists that it is better that a hundred thousand people should perish than that it should be even slightly inconvenienced. That lie is a transparent and strained effort to keep us from noticing that my position is that violence, mayhem, and insanity are the inevitable consequences of its ideals. Lucky Star, in contrast, argues that ebola, AIDS, mad-cow disease, and the hantavirus were intentionally bioengineered by obtuse Philistines for the purpose of population reduction. This disagreement merely scratches the surface of the ideological chasm festering between me and Lucky Star. The only rational way to bridge this chasm is for it to admit that it is always trying to change the way we work. This annoys me because Lucky Star's previous changes have always been for the worse. I'm positive that its new changes will be even more naive because Lucky Star wants to make incorrect leaps of logic. You know what groups have historically wanted to do the same thing? Fascists and Nazis. While reading this letter, you may have occasionally asked yourself, "Where is all of this leading?" and, "What is the point exactly?" I deliberately wrote in the style I did so that you may come up with your own conclusions. Therefore, I leave you with only the following: Lucky Star loves Trotskyism more than life itself.
