The Plan!



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 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 with Germany, 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. 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, or they get a "D" and it's back home baby.

6) The US 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 some place 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 are 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 some place. 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?' "

Sorry to put a damper on it so soon, but this is not really by Robin Williams. Urban Legend

The link I provided says:

From: someone
Variations: Early versions of this list included an eleventh entry:
11) And lastly bring back the manufacturing from our country, curtail the cheap imports from all over the world and put the middle class back to work in our country.
Origins: We don't know who is responsible for the piece quoted above, but it definitely wasn't acto/comedian Robin Williams (of Mork & Mindy television fame). This item's debut appears to have been a 20 March 2003 posting to the USENET newsgroup alt.motorcycles.harley, and from there it was rapidly disseminated via e-mail and blogs, credited to either "author unknown" or no one at all. The Robin Williams attribution wasn't tacked on until several weeks later, apparently because along the way the eleventh entry was dropped and a genuine Robin Williams quote appended in its place:
"The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying 'Give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses.' She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'You want a piece of me?'" — Robin Williams.
The 'Robin Williams' attribution for the final item was interpreted as applying to the list as a whole, so now the entire piece circulates as 'the Robin Williams plan.'


I'm not at all saying its a bad plan....

Offensive and foolish.

I thought this kind of foreigner bashing would have ended with the growing clear recognition that many anti-US critics were spot on in the criticisms of our military misadventures. Sadly, I have overestimated the promulgators of pointless email forwards again.

I have better idea. Let's make clones of underdeveloped people and have them do all our menial labor. We'll call him "Tad." If anyone wants a kid, they have to apply for a Tad. If they want a smart, original baby, they have to be strictly examined by the National Eugenics Administration (which will replace the National Endowment for the Arts). Their eligibility will be determined on: intelligence, facial symmetry, and skill with sān jié gùn. Skill with sān jié gùn can be substituted with skill in shuriken. Anyone who is less than 1/8 Native American cannot occupy positions of political power, and only after they've been given a certificate of sanity. Certificates of sanity will be granted upon completion of 10 peyote rituals, 6 guided ayahuasca rituals, or 4 guided iboga trips. Puritans are banned from office. All others must take Soma when they feel sad. Gerin oil distributers will be tightly regulated. Gerin oil replenishment facilities will be double-taxed. Freshly cut watermelons will be banned from cafeterias. Raw cacao, blueberries, goji berries, and shiitake mushrooms will be provided free to the poor or infirm. :cool:
