I had an idea for this sociological experiment. My goal is to engage in a more detailed and honest dialogue with friends and strangers and to learn more about myself and others.

Today's Question
My apologies for not posting on Saturday or Yesterday. The celebration of the impending birth of a friend's child, a visitation from a New Orleanian Zombie, Serbian Burek, Gravy appetizers, and a Prince Rama psychedelic freak out all met in a strangely nuanced choreography to upend any plans for civilized discourse or even the quick dispensation of internet questions. Nevertheless, I have a three part question for today. Or rather, a top three, rather than three parts. You awake this morning in the White House in the Presidential Quarters. There is no Congress and you have the opportunity to unilaterally impose three sweeping changes to the United States with impunity. Your power is supreme in both its potential for benevolence as much as its depths of cruelty. What are your three implementations?

Oh boy, i've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. First, total withdraw from any country we have no business being in...Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya etc....Second, I would make those serving in public office partly responsible for their health care costs, as well as, any pension benefits they are entitled to. Third, I would due away with unions and let there be more equity across the board for workers. Forth, and I know I only get three but I want four implementations. Forth, I would standardize health care benefits for those under a certain income level, those benefits would be the same as public officials receive without any co-payments attached.
ReplyDeleteGood ones mother. Though we're not really in Libya. That is why the coalition is so ineffective. Not that we are particularly great, but we seem to be a better war machine than most industrialized nations. That should be the deterrent, but it isn't. Peace is usually much cheaper than war, if you know how to do it.
