“Prejudices are what fools use for reason.”

— Voltaire, a French Enlightenment writer, historian and philosopher famous for his wit and for his advocacy of civil liberties, including freedom of religion and free trade. Voltaire was a prolific writer and produced works in almost every literary form including plays, poetry, novels, essays, historical and scientific works, more than 20,000 letters and more than 2,000 books and pamphlets. He was an outspoken supporter of social reform, despite strict censorship laws and harsh penalties for those who broke them. As a satirical polemicist, he frequently made use of his works to criticize intolerance, religious dogma and the French institutions of his day.

Oh my god, did you hear about Whitney Houston?
Yeah, I heard about Whitney Houston, it’s crazy right?
Yeah, I can’t believe it, all of a sudden the media is on her side.
I know its crazy right?

Whitney Houston is dead; don’t pretend you give a shit,
you mother fucking hypocrites remember what you said she did.
Whitney Houston is dead; no you never gave a shit,
so why are you pretending you mother fucking hypocrite.

Whitney Houston’s such a drug addicted Jesus freak;
used to hear it a thousand times a week,
on every fucking TV screen, and every fucking magazine.
Yeah sure we liked her for while,
for a few years when she was in young and in style,
then she was with Diane Sawyer on TV
and everyone dismissed as a crazy.
Over time there was a punch line in which they would say -
how crack was her greatest love of all,
yet we didn’t care if it was true or false.
So don’t pretend that you give a fuck,
keep talking about her she loved that crack rock,
and went from a being a cute black barbie darling,
and died as a nasty raspy toothless pig who couldn’t sing.

Whitney Houston is dead; don’t pretend you give a shit,
you mother fucking hypocrites remember what you said she did.
Whitney Houston is dead; no you never gave a shit,
so why are you pretending you mother fucking hypocrite.

She said that infamous line about how CRACK IS WHACK!;
But I wasn’t there when you had her back,
And when we saw pics of her crack den, we said,
“Oh my god, she’s motherfuckin’ sick!”
“She lives like shit, she literally lives in piss and shit!”
Nobody was talking about her music,
now if I say -
“She died toothless sucking and choking on a crack dealer’s dick”,
you’d say -
“Oh my god, that’s so offensive!”
Well fuck you, you mother fucking cunt ass bitch,
everyone in the news hyp- a mother fucking —crite.
On your high horse saying that I’m a demon,
Cuz’ I say that she sucked cock and drank urine and semen.

Whitney Houston is dead; don’t pretend you give a shit,
you mother fucking hypocrites remember what you said he did.
Whitney Houston is dead; no you never gave a shit,
so why are you pretending you mother fucking hypocrites.

Oh, it’s so sad that Whitney passed away, we loved her so much.
Oh really? Really, did you love her?
Cause From where I’m standing, it kinda looked like you hated her,
and that you enjoyed exploiting her failures as a drug addict,
and revel in her death.
But now that she’s dead,
you love her, and she’s a legend,
and she’s so utterly amazing,
and it’s - we love Whitney Houston!
How about you - go - fuck - yourselves,
you big bunch of fucking hypocrites,

Here, I’m going to do this for you:

*I believe the drugs are our future
Give them out and let dealers lead the way
Show us all the darkness we possess inside
Give us a sense of illusion to make it easier*

OR

*She decided long ago-o-o, never to walk in anyone’s light!
If she failed, if she succeeded - at least she’d fuck up as she believed!
No matter what they take from her
They can’t take away her dignity..

‘Cept for her of course
and she did.
And Bobby Brown
And those crack dealers.
Any of her johns
And the record industry.
And her fans.
And you..*

Fuck you hypocrites.

Lloyd Schwartz went to see Degas and the Nude at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. He says the paintings are “full of the awkwardnesses of real life.”
