"Edgar"

"Edgar" is continuing to post to his new blog, albeit at a slower pace than we had expected, but his latest appeal is one that we agree with, even if we don't think he's analyzing the information he has correctly or that he is coming to appropriate conclusions.

The GPD has long been against anti-pinkilessness, and according to all the statistics we have about the subject, it has decreased 62.54% over the last year alone.  Some of this is due to better enforcement, but most of it is a genuine desire on the part of younger people to not have the biases their parents had.  In "Edgar's" case we can state that there have been 3,129 documented incidents of anti-pinkilessness directed against him in the past year, but we do not believe that that is the reason his attempt at world domination is not moving as quickly as he had hoped.  The reasons we believe it is not moving quickly are:

• He isn't so popular as he thinks he is.  Many people know him, but they know him only as the face of the evil Parent Corporation.  He hasn't had time to erase that image from the minds of world citizens yet.
• The GNU Public Dictatorship is a better alternative.  We have been working tirelessly in a constant effort to overthrow evil office products for more than a decade, and our efforts have shown results.  "Edgar," while he promises to eliminate these evils, has no record of doing so.
• "Edgar" is moving too quickly.  He expects people to swear their allegiance to him and give up all of their rights all in one fell swoop.  We don't expect you to do both at the same time, and in fact will give you the illusion of rights for as long as it makes you feel comfortable.  If science fiction hasn't taught us anything else, it teaches that societies based on lies that produce collective comfort are the way of the future!

We are still working with "Edgar" and at the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not hopeful that "Edgar" will accept that we are a better alternative and join us rather than competing against us, but we are also nothing if not patient and will wait for him to realize the shortcomings of that approach.
