The LoT platform

Prudence · 02-24-2008, 12:11 AM

Sleepyjeff's daylight savings time comment got me thinking, and I didn't want to derail CP's Obama thread further, so....

I hereby open the discussion on what issues the LoT should demand get the proper amount of consideration this political season.

I would like a referendum on the proper pronunciation of "Washington." I submit that a key plank in the LoT platform must be the abolition of the abhorred stray "r".

I'd just like to see music education get the attention it deserves. I think we would all benefit from that...

...once that "R" thing is taken care of.

I second the Washington issue, and raise you one proper pronunciation of 'Spokane'.

Oh, and cats should be made honorary overlords. (Just to piss off Scaeagles.)

I like messing with the music teachers where my kids go to school - they know I'm one to poke and also that I've got a music theory/comp degree, so I'll ask them things like "Why should we spend so much time on the arts instead of more time in math and science?" hehehehe. Gets 'em every time.

All public places and government buildings should be clothing optional

Obviously, all naturally growing plants and funguses should be legal to own, grow, buy and sell.

Or we can just force states to spell their names the way they sound;

Oregon would become Oragun.

Illinois would become Ellanoy.

Washington would be Warshington
