Wowee! Quite a thread.

Midchuck - I like your thoughts on this one, back in the early postings.

Everybody - I have a folkie friend here in Orillia who is SO right-wing that he can't find anyone to vote for...he says they're all too far to the left for him. He would like to run the government himself...and here's what he says he would do:

1. Deport ALL foreigners, specially Asians and blacks. (He actually emigrated here from Scotland, but that doesn't count.)

2. Ban mixed marriages (he means mixed race, not male and female).

3. Put gays back in the closet where they belong, and shoot 'em if they put up a fuss about it.

4. Have at least one firearm in every household so decent people can protect themselves.

5. Feed all prisoners on bread and water, with no parole ever. And lots and lots of capital punishment, of course.

6. Tell the major corporations to share the wealth...and if they don't, shoot their board of directors (I kind of like that one).

7. Ditto for the banks (again, I sort of sympathize).

8. Lay off 95% of the government workers, and have private industry take over their jobs.

9. Shut down the labour unions.

10. Shoot anyone who disagrees with the above agenda.

The scary thing is, I think he means it. However, he is not going to get elected, so I'm not worried...and actually he is a good friend anyway, and really quite a pleasure to know, as we tend to like the same music.

His bark is worse than his bite, in my experience.
