I thought this could bring on some interesting discussion (warning: some of it cuts like a butcher knife). What do you think?
You gotta love Robin Williams…
Even if he’s nuts!
Leave it to Robin Williams to come up with the perfect plan
What we need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up
And repeat this message.
Robin Williams’ plan…
(Hard to argue with this logic!)
“I see a lot of people yelling for peace
But I have not heard of a plan for
Peace. So, here’s one plan.”[i]
"The US will apologize to the world for our “interference” in their affairs,
Past & present.
You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein,
And the rest of those “good ole boys”, we will never “interfere” again.
We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany, South Korea, the Middle East, and the Philippines.
They don’t want us there.
We would station troops at our borders.
No one allowed sneaking through holes in the fence.
All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave
We’ll give them a free trip home.
After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately,
Regardless of whom or where they are.
They’re illegal!!! France will welcome them.
All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit!!! No one from a terrorist nation will be allowed in.
If you don’t like it there, change it yourself and don’t hide here.
Asylum would never be available to anyone.
We don’t need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.
No foreign “students” over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don’t attend classes, they get a “D” and it’s back home baby.
The US will make a strong effort
To become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing nonpolluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while .
Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil.
If they don’t like it, we’ll go someplace else.
They can go somewhere else to sell their production.
(About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)
8 ) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not “interfere.” They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides most of us know that what we give them, is stolen or given to the army.
The people who need it most get very little, if anything.
Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island someplace. We don’t need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.
All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us “Ugly Americans” any longer.
The Language we speak is ENGLISH…learn it…or LEAVE…
Now, isn’t that a winner of a plan?
The Statue of Liberty is no longer
Saying "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses.
She’s got a baseball bat and she’s yelling, ‘you want a piece of me?’ " [/i]
Yea, I don’t agree with it either, but it sure was a good read. I can’t believe he could get away with that in public especially about the taxi drivers and 7-11 workers. Isolation doesn’t make for peaceful neighbors when you need a friend. Eeek.
Love the new avatar. He kills me.
I will agree for quite abit of it, some times you have to prune in order to get a larger healthier plant. Things are so screwed up right now a bit of trimming can’t hurt, we can always make other laws to counteract temporary ones. Realize that Gov’t laws are fluid and not permenant they change and always will change. Clean up first. get some control then move outwards.
You ever have to clean a room that is so packed with crap and so messy that you have no idea where to start or what to do? That is where USA is right now. USA is that messy room and we got to start somewhere.
That sounds familiar. A while back some bogus Paul Harvey editorials circulated on the 'net for some time before they were exposed as bogus. I’m not saying this one is, but I strongly suspect it didn’t come from Williams. No reason beyond this- try to imagine him onstage saying all that.
I mostly agree that those are worthy suggestions, so don’t get me wrong. But I think we have to be very vigilant vs misinformation & outright fabrication. People often do tend to believe everything of what they read online til they become so disillusioned that they believe nothing.
I believe that thirst is a nice kitten and OG is a monkey, but I am not so sure that Dunamis is that woman in the pink bathrobe. The net scares me sometimes.
I evolved beyond ‘monkey see, monkey do’; hence the ‘cheese falling off the cracker’ syndrome that you associate with me, Phaedrus. My titles actually do have -some- depth to them.
Just for fun though… maybe I’ll bring the original monkey back for a cameo appearance.
