The Plan!

Robin Williams, wearing a shirt that says 'I love New York ' in Arabic.

You gotta love Robin Williams........Even if he's nuts! Leave it to Robin Williams to come up with the perfect plan. What we need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up and repeat this message.
Robin Williams' plan...(Hard to argue with this logic!)
'I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan for peace. So, here's one plan.'

1) 'The US,UK ,CANADA and AUSTRALIA 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 withGermany , 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 from. 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,UK ,CANADA and AUSTRALIA 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 someplace 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 is 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 someplace. 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 realize this is meant to be funny, but couldn't help but notice how "spot on" these assessments are. I've been wondering for quite some why

1) folks insist on adopting from outside the U.S. when there are perfectly good children here that need a good home?

2) why America is on the brink of financial crisis yet it sends aide to every Tom, Dick and Harry around the globe?

3) Why the needs of the animals outweigh the survival of mankind?

And that's just the short list!

Good post and count me in as well.

In short, there is more red tape and time involved to adopt US kid than there is to adopt a foreign kid, and it might even be cheaper. Also consider that for some Foster Care is a business in similar fashion to nursing homes and Lawyers make money on adoptions......gee I wonder if they lobby for restrictions????

In essence if you want to adopt in the US, first you get approved, then your thrown onto a waiting list (a lottery) and you wait. Where as you can pick a foreign kid out of a catalog so to speak, throw down some loot and come home with them.

It is crime.

Richard, sorry I don't give a s**t who wrote it, I think it is spot on and a great idea. I also think that every dam country that thinks that we are too harsh on their illegals here, that we should adopt their illegal alien policies and see how that one works out, oh yeah and their prison policies.

[Richard]

FWIW - the historian in me would like to know who actually wrote the original e-mail. Personally, and it doesn't matter what they are saying, I don't trust or think too much of anyone who won't 'own' their work.

YMMV...and so it goes...

Richard's $.02

I agree.

It is time for America to worry about Americans, and screw the rest of the world. We have our own who need our help. I am tired of the illegal immigrants coming across the border. Without them, I am sure our HC would not be so bad as it is now. After all, we all pay a small price for them to see a physician.

NOT TRUE

Apparently the first e-mail was posted in 2003 and has been altered and circulated since that time - with the Robin Williams attribution being added at some point along the way.

yeah, I've even seen it associated with Bill Cosby......too bad we can't get a President to say it!

[dirtyshirt]

Hell, I dont care if Timmy from southpark said it, I think it's spot on.

I have had emails saying it was Bill Cosby,and he seems to "Politically correct" to have anything like this come from him.

We NEED someone in politics to adhere to,and implement this tho...might straighten things up right quick

But SOMEBODY wrote it, why didn't they sign it themselves? It's such a great idea! What's that phrase you use?

Heck, I thought YOU wrote it.

I am always cautious about subscribing to beliefs that circulate the internet and take a very simplistic view of very complicated issues.
