MEMO TO OUR RIFFRAFF

*************************************

Since you can no longer betray me to the authorities, as you did in the Ottoman Empire and the USSR, you make up for it now by insulting me.

I don’t mind that.

I don’t mind that at all!

And I understand why, whenever you run out of insults, you accuse me of repeating myself.

On this last charge, may I be allowed to quote Sartre: "Let us not be afraid of repetition"; and paraphrase Voltaire: "I will go on repeating myself until people like you have become obsolete."

More on repetition: May I suggest the following practical cure for your allergic reaction: Don’t read everything I write, only one out of ten, or one out of a hundred, or even a thousand.

Even better: do yourself a favor and stop reading me altogether, Remember, my friends, indifference is the most devastating criticism, and silence the most punishing assessment.
