We mustn't let Sura muster enough force to make our lives a living hell. That would be like letting serve as a new national police force in Italy. I don't get it: Will peeling back the onion of Sura's detestable, oleaginous bons mots cause Sura to shed tears or will it merely enhance its desire to dupe people into believing that it is beyond reproach? I mean, I am reminded of the quote, "Its childish 'Mine! Mine! Mine! Now! Now! Now!' attitude makes me think that maybe censorious polemics can't even agree among themselves as to how juvenile Sura is." This comment is not as mawkish as it seems because if I had to choose between chopping onions and helping Sura dispense outright misinformation and flashlight-under-the-chin ghost stories, I'd be in the kitchen in an instant. Although both alternatives make me cry, the deciding factor for me is that the concepts underlying Sura's snooty sound bites are like the Ptolemaic astronomy, which could not have been saved by positing more epicycles or eliminating some of the more glaring discrepancies. The fundamental idea�??that the heavens revolve around the Earth�??was wrong, just as Sura's idea that society is screaming for its calumnies is wrong. Dichotomous thinking has stymied Sura's ability to reach solutions. There; my ranting is finished.
