The Dems and the Federation

There's a convention going on in my hometown, Denver. The Dems are partying down hardy in preparation for tonight's official nomination of Barack Obama for president of "these here United States." Alrighty then. Woowoo Charly says she is proud of the Dems because in an election year in which they could have nominated a main stream white guy and been a shoo-in, they chose instead to take a risk and shake up history by giving their party a choice between a woman or a black guy. Nice. I hope it works out for them.

Personally, I'm voting for The Federation's candidate. It's time for a One World government and The Federation is on the right track. We, the planet's people will all be part of a social Democratic order and all decisions will be based on what is good for the world and not just individual states. Existing countries will be referred to as States and allowed to maintain their own cultural identities with the exclusion of violent aspects. The Federation's Capitol will be housed in different cities around the world changing location yearly. A ruling panel, or committee if you prefer, of twelve people will head up the government. These people will be elected on a biannual basis. By having a committee we insure that almost nothing will ever get done governmentally and progress will occur through the efforts of people outside the government. A strong military with Kirk and Picard standards will insure protection against incursions from other planets. Good manners will be a prerequisite and will be taught in all schools. Loud, aggressive, angry people will not be allowed to breed and anyone caught in acts of violence or even threatening same will be incarcerated. Might will not make right. Dogs and horses will have equal status with humans, but will not be allowed to vote. Cats will remain as they are throughout the world today, allowed to believe that humans are their slaves. Capital punishment will exist not only to punish the criminal, but to rid the world of golf cheaters, people who talk during movies and writers of inane television shows. When decisions affecting the world at large must be made and the committee is deadlocked, a vote will be put to all the world's people. Should the question remain unresolved, I'll handle it. Just ask me.
