THE KID DISCUSSES
"A FALSE PHILOSOPHY OF GENERATIONS
EXPOUNDED BY PAID EXPONENTS"
Excuse me, it is not fitting a man of your intelligence
and culture should wear broken glasses. Please, it's a
disgrace to civilization! I am not trying to degrade you to
de level of die sidewalk, understand me, I am speaking from
de heart when I say die is not compatible wit de features
of your physiognomy. It hurts um to look at you! Please,
I have a friend never mind, deres no money involved!
I see I will have to treat wit you like a child. Do you
tink I am going to let you walk around like din?
Don't be bashful! It's
brought up wit de whip, it's
understandable, a child who's
afraid of de dominating factors.
Naturally die organized banditry, dese so-called cultured
disseminators
of taught, dey have deir hand in envy phase
of our social order. Dey have brought up a mentally
diseased people. Wait, I'll tell you how and what! You
tink I didn't make a study of dose conditions? Believe
me, I been troo evvyting, evvy which way. Do you happen
I was noitchered on Schubert -Schuman -Bach -Beethoven -Hayden?
No. You'd be surprised if I tell you. Don't insult my
intelligence.
0, so you taking dis down? Wait, give it to
you in black -and -white. Put down de title. "A False
Philosophy of Generations Expounded by Paid Exponents."
Pill right huhhkemmt Only till recently, where
de government (you writing dose voids?)
when de government hsc been predominated by de organized
banditry of high finance and industry, de child has not
been brought up to comprehend de partickler philosophy
of de fshder, because wherever de child goes, she meets
wit iron -locked doors and can't get nowheres. Perinstance,
a poor child who lived in squalor, undanourished, ill-
cloded, comes troo our cultural institutions to obtain
her rental food, and she sees dose paid agents which are
distructing de minds of our yoot by expounding dis false
philosophy (1 want you should put down evvy woidl)
dis philosophy dat today or tomorra de door of opportunity
will knock at deir door. Today is here and tomorra never
comes! But opportunity never shows up. And de minds of
dese children is being disillusioned and deir hopes
dissolved like bubbles in de air (chit's not bad,
dontchoo tink so?) And what are de consequences of such
philosophy? Subjects for lunatic asylums and penitentiaries.
Such a philosophy or teeory which has been practised for
generations ("Tactics"? Not tactics, dls is not de
woid, it will contaminate de whole ting.) Such a teeory
was compatible wit de former administrative machinery,
but now, when dere is predominating over our society
de brilliand mind which is injecting a virus of
civilization Wait a minute, please! Dis is my
offspring (Please, I want you to behave& Don't be so
pugnacious and abrupt, and furdermore you are violating
de code of ettickst All right, all right, here's a
pennyt So look around twice before you cross de streett)
Where was we? Never mind, we'll continue wit dis some
udder time. You should come to hear me when I speak
at a gaddering. All de topics in de curriculum I am
touching upon. In de meanwhile, you got five minutes?
I'll get you a new frame for dese glasses it's a
disgrace, it spoils my dispositiont
