The PLAN!

Postby Spock » Sat 2007 May 12 9:19

I recently received another email, attributed to Robin Williams, that is simply a recycled urban legend. It has some good points in it, so I will reprint the gist of the text and give a link to the source I usually check to determine the veracity of any such email. I will also reword the text so that those of you who enjoy sending out email after email to help clog our Internet bandwidth can then change the name to anyone you wish and send it out all over again.

Or why not just send people a link to this topic instead? It is much easier and will help conserve said bandwidth.

God Bless [your favorite celebrity here] - This is THE BEST!!!!! You will love this!

The Plan!


You gotta love [your favorite celebrity here] ... Even if he's nuts!
Leave it to [your favorite celebrity here] to come up with the perfect plan What we need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up And repeat this message.

[your favorite celebrity here]'s 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, 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'll 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 us know that 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.

11) 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.

12) And lastly, 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?'"


The last item, about the Statue of Liberty, is the only part that was actually uttered by Robin Williams. He is also shown in the initial link wearing a shirt that supposedly says "I love New York" in Arabic.
