...in the film about Sinatra`s son`s kidnapping there`s a scene in which he receives a book from some admirer...he opens it and there is a note, "this could have been a bomb".

..this post could be a bomb in which I blow several "covers" that I..in all jollity, want to invent as a funny way to show Paul`s wife...in a funny situation...where I use her name. It could be...only I`m not in the Mafia.

..,Lest you think I have no humor, let me explain something...slowly. I could take any comedy bit from any time..or make one up, in which I insert your name...placing you in situations you`d never even thought to imagine yourself and don`t belong...only you look "foolish" there. This would be only as "funny" as the comedy was..or the comedy team made it.

This is farce...not satire. Of COURSE you can use it...but it bears no resemblance to the people whose names you inserted.

Farce is for the low brow...satire aims a little higher. To be effective satire has to get at the core of the subject of the satire. The best stiriists are very close to being the objects they satirize..they have to be or else they won`t understand what makes those persons tick..and instead will have to content themselves with sticking them into a farcical piece you could have put anyone into.

For instance you can insert Bush into a comedy routine written 100 years ago that involves his character farting as a way to make a living and have him do several choice farts and things. This is funny, I suppose and the day laborers n the pit will howl with delight...but there are far better ways to make a fool of Bush by understanding his CHARACTER...what makes him tuck and what his principles are...this would be satirizing Bush...not merely ridiculing him..and satire makes a ridiculous person far more ridiculous than merely ridiculing him.

You are TRYING very hard to place me in such a light. You are a real Christian because you say so..you will even call someone ridiculous who says you have to prove you are Assyrian because you "KNOW you are" and have to prove it to no one...and you let it go at that...nothing more has to be done or said by you.

Then you find yourself in the uncomfortable position of trying to prove that the only Assyrian you ever heard of who put a monument anywhere FIRST..and not with Australian government money but his own and has all those other Assyrians sculptures that haven`t existed before and who`s been doing more writing and thinking about it in four years than you could do in ten lifetimes and winning a good deal of support along the ay from people who are also thinking for THEMSELVES, as he is doing..is the very same fellow you insist CAN`T be Assyrian...because YOU say so...inspite of more evidence that he either MUST be or is the silliest man alive..which you can in no way prove..unless you make up a farcical situation and just MAKE him appear to be foolish. Which an Assyrian would allow you to do..never thinking for a moment to ban or delete you...silly man.

You NEED to make me out to be a fake Assyrian who merely seeks to get ahead...rich and famous I suppose, by PRETENDING to be Assyrian..in other words you want to present me as I am NOT...to make me appear to be what YOU need me to be. To really do so, honestly, you would have to satirize my beliefs....by understanding them very very well...and you can`t even afford to do that because the truth of them scares you for its implications about you, your church and your principles...so you whistle away your fears instead by concocting an unlikely scenario...miles away from anything I`ve said or done to force the point..not illuminate it...that I have to be what you say I am...satire would SHOW that I am not Assyrian..which is what I was doing to you...merely SAYING it...is farce.

Having tied yourself every which way a foolish man can...you try to make a little headway by simply inserting my name..and that of my wife...into a scenario that is intended to make me what you WANT me to apear as...which is NOT satire...but IS farce. By inserting my wife`s name..after I just got through saying we should back off on using "your" daughters as a reference point..is supposed to warn me...like the sodomy thing at beth, that my family can be dragged into this if I don`t watch out. That`s a low device and farce is meant for low intelligence.

I could have done the same with you...picking some routine, or making one uo, in which I have you say and do things you would never do...just because it`s funny to think of you like that.

That too would be farce and is legitimate...if your are dealing with low brows. I never do.

Instead I placed you, with YOUR principles, not ones I invented for you to make you look folish, in a situation that would test those principles in ways you hadn`t contemplated before to SHOW you what might result. This is satire for I am making fun of your principles by showing THEM at work in another light..I am not making you up...I am REVEALLING you as YOU presented yourself.

I took the central core of your being..as you expressed it to me...and tweaking it slightly, revealed it more fully in terms of its consequences when confronted by other than the noble sounding scenario you reserved for yourself. This is satire..it is not farce...satire does, however, make a farce of the person or thing it satirizes...and this is what I made of you.

These subtleties are lost on someone like you..I realize. But in order to help you understand me better..so you CAN satirize me and reduce me to a farce..instead of go for the farce and satisrize yourself by mistake..I hope to improve your abiilty to REALLY skewer me.

I could also remove whatever I think is nasty or unkind and wrong...but I won`t do that.

I want you to do your BEST and stop aiming at the mud...come up a little higher..try to undertsand me...as I think you do...you`re just afraid of what you think will be the "dire" consequences..as you were as a child if you "sinned". It is not a sin, or shouldn`t be, to think outside the box or church...doing so will put you in Ashur..if he is anywhere in you...unless you consigned that part of Ashur in you to hell...in which case you best stay in your box.

Wherever you are though..try to do a BETTER job.
