An Exposition Upon the State of Literary Academia

"The Western canon: a venerated line of dynasties of wonderful and
impressive works of literature passing from the Middle Ages, or perhaps
before and being stretched to the middle of the twentieth century."
David blinked. Comprehension? Perhaps. He thought so, anyway. It was
well worth continuing, for he was the only accessible, talkablewith
person who would ever possibly appreciate his hypothesis.
"And yet these works so formative so great so influential so necessary,
must be continuously poked and prodded and have holes bored in them for
hidden meanings. Why? If a book is useful and enjoyable should it not
standalone on its own merit and be readable so? Why does it have to be
constantly and repeatedly hacked upon and described in multitudinous
tracts by insane gibbering students who clasp their wooden pencils in
wonder and breathlessly gasp 'Why I can gain a doctorate by producing
my own list of errata for the Wake!'? The author should know what he is
doing. It is he who writes the canonical errata! Instead these texts,
these lone glimmering examples of pure humanity distilled between a
card cover are tossed back and forth 'til their spines snap from the
strain, the subjects of dozens hundrends of talking shops about the
world in every country and land! Appears that all who study them feel
that they must argue and be defensive and try to find some sort of
universal meaning or archetypal personage within them. Why? Can we not
enjoy the works of Kafka or Hugo or Dickens without some insane person
comparing Eve to the first female who crops up? They assume that
everyone buries veneer upon veneer of fuzzy allusion and reference in
their works. Simple English for simple English's sake! Only the insane
geniuslearned ones who speak a dozen fluent tongues spending decades
studying them producing little more but a bundle of incomprehensibility
written in puns and quotes and dreams need be consistently looked upon
so. If they were to try they would be able to read the majority of art
without looking beneath the surface, for true art transcends this world
and the rest of its cultural environment; it can be taken for what it
is, and only - what it is, else cast as pearls before swine or with the
inferior perpetually argued superior via the ageold argumentum ad
antiquitatem."

I'd say it was a tad "anti-semetic". The bad guys in the article are all Hebrews.

Asking his rabbi to prey that the stock goes up?!!! Man, I admit that I am a wee bit greedy myself sometimes, but this just takes the cake! What an asshole!
Why would a rabbi (or anyone else for that matter) WANT TO PREY for some MORON who ALREADY IS A MULTIMILLIONAIRE to get more money? Is something wrong with this picture? He already had enough money to take care of him and his family for the rest of his life. What an asshole and boy do I ever mean this. Meanwhile Mr. & Ms. John Q. American go to work for their money, send this asshole his $9.95 a month (plus 2.95 an hour) all to sit in front of their computer and watch AOL download new art to their computer.
I'll have to make sure to include this fine executive from AOL in my prayers tonight to hope that he makes more millions. While I'm at it, I'll pray that Bill Gates gets richer, too.
