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.)

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.

You all missed the most important one... Free bacon in every home!

blueerica · 02-24-2008, 10:21 AM

Free bacon. It'll be like government cheese, but bacon-y.

Hey, I know that not everyone would be comfortable to talk about it... but did anyone here get the stuff. We did. It actually wasn't that bad. Though I think it has propelled my continual search for the finest of cheeses available to me.

I'd propose greater public transportation requirements for cities, and bullet trains between highly populated areas. And Star Trek transporters. It would make my life a lot easier.

Wouldn't the latter preclude the need for the former?

Sure, we had lots of the government cheese and I've always defended the stuff. It was just normal 10 and 20 pound bricks of medium quality cheddar. It was fine.

My pet policy would be seeing a rationalization of water policy in the American Southwest. Make the people who use water pay market value for it, undam a lot of rivers, and live with the consequences even if it turns southern California into a quaint little burg. It would be illegal to grow rice in a desert.

Also, abortion would be legal up to age 12.

Better looking politicians. All parties.
