Robin Williams' plan...(Hard to argue with this logic!) 1) "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. 2) 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. 3) 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. 4) 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. 5) 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. 6) 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. 7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go some place 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 what we give them are stolen or given to the army. The people who need it most get very little, if anything. 9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island some place. 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. 10) 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 like this Peace Plan but Robin Williams never said it... http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/williams.asp
it may not be a Robin Williams plan, but the plan does hold some hidden truths to it.... open some eyes possibly as well...
"Are you saying Old Dan is misquoting someone again! I AM SHOCKED!" Like I said before, I like the charm school idea. Taken from Germany Bert's referenced website: "The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying 'Give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses.' She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'You want a piece of me?'" — Robin Williams. The 'Robin Williams' attribution for the final item was interpreted as applying to the list as a whole, so now the entire piece circulates as 'the Robin Williams plan.' Moen buddy you really have to start reading entire texts. This is akin to someone defending the koran without ever reading it or hearing it preached.
Interestingly enough I recently partook in a journal search and review regaring the potential effects of oil drilling in the reserve. After search through hundreds of articles pertaining to the welfare of wildlife I have formed a conclusion. The Audobon Society and Friend for Winderness are flat out liars. I found no article based on scientific data that suggest that the Porcupine caribou are adversly affected by the presence of drilling rigs and pads. In fact there are numerous articles that show the gravel pad is being used by the female caribou during pregnancy to escape from insects. Aparrently the bugs can drain as much as a liter of blood from the animal in one day. The pad is a refuge from the vegitation that is home to the bugs and it also provides an open area in which the breeze reduces the concentration of flying bugs. I really can not see how the nuture lovers can say what they say without basing it with non-biased data. As a side note I don't want them drilling up there. The landscape is just to pristeen. Its just that I don't see another option at this time. Maybe if the big three hadn't hampered progress for all those years we would have alternative fuels by now.
Drilling in the gulf of mexico is stupid. To much potential for serious enviromental damage to an area that produces alot of food and tourist dollars never mind a way of life. Not drilling in the artic is stupied. As long as the oil tankers are doubled hull and the captains are sober there should be no problem. Plus they would be easier to defend against outside terrorist attacks. With that said, I still have to side with Morgan in that I am sure if we poured 46 billion dollars or more into R&D, the alternative fuels that we have came up with already could be made more practical at a lower cost of production. Never mind water fusion potential. Darn oil people, etc...
so i was watching history channel the other day and saw somwthing that was amazing. brazil runs 90% of their cars on ethonal produced from sugar cane that they grow them selves. and power their citys by(i think)the worlds largest hydroelectric dam. if one day all the oil was gone these guys would keep on trucking. also can anyone find a figure as to how long the alaskan reserves would last the country. i heard it a long time ago and i think it was under a month. but i stand to be corrected.also isnt there alot of oil in the midwest? everyone thinks that foreign oil is bad. i say we should use up all of it(which shouldnt take that long the way we use it) and then when the rest of the world is almost dry we start drilling our stuff and live business as usual.
