If We Ran the World

I would like to begin a new section of the blog entitled “If We Ran the World.” Given the perpetual circus going on in the American political system, Jiro and I have concluded that the only option will be for us to take matters into our own hands. As Jiro says, “If you want an efficient government, hire an Asian,” clearly he is the man for the job.

Since the odds of me being assassinated as vice president are much slimmer, I concur.

Today’s focus is on what we should do with the people that will not agree with us or that we just don’t like. Our conversation went something like this:

Jiro: I caught up on the Daily Show and things are such a mess here
Me: When we are in power we should have a place to send all the really bad criminals, terrorists, Wallstreet executives and political prisoners (which we will have, namely any members of the Bush administration or Congress).
Jiro: You mean like Australia for the Brits?
Me: Exactly
Jiro: Let’s give them a territory like Puerto Rico
Me: No, I might vacation there, let’s send them to Guam.
Jiro: Ok, so we will send all of these people that we don’t like over there, and it will be survival of the fittest, which we will film, and put on tv and the money we make from advertisements can go to education and healthcare.
Cassie: Yes, except it can be more like Hunger Games and we can stage periodical fires and have them all competing for a single water source.
Jiro: Yeah, but we can be nice and send them packages on holidays.
Me: Sure and we can thrown down some weapons from time to time and see what happens.

We also propose that any prisoner will be forced to relinquish all possessions and the money will be distributed to social services. We may consider rehabilitation and integration back into society when the country can handle it.

Furthermore, Jiro suggests “we treat corporate accounting tricks like witchcraft and burn them at the stake.” I think it best as well.

Ok, that’s all for now.

UPDATE: Tore has expressed his wish to be Secretary of State when we are in power so that he can make announcements like “We just upgraded to Defcon 3” and drive a tank. If these aren’t good reasons, I don’t know what are. Position granted.
