A Modest Proposal for the Military Industrial Complex

[dave29]

Seeing as how you guys need to keep making money, and how the way you make your money is by blowing people and buildings up... I'd like to propose the following so as to stabilize the world a bit, and make it easier for me to live my life without constant rage.

My proposal: A lottery system for carpet bombing neighborhoods in America.

Hear me out. Each week, an independent commission made up of people of all races, genders and political persuasions would gather and pick a neighborhood out of a hat. This neighborhood would then immediately be carpet bombed. Think of the jobs created here at home rebuilding that neighborhood, caring for it's wounded, and burying it's dead. It's the perfect fuel for a stagnant economy.

There are many more reasons for a neighborhood carpet bomb lottery, but I thought I'd just throw it out there for now, and let you mull it over before you bomb Iran and they nuke Israel and we all die because you had to make a buck.

Thanks again.

1. As if Jackson's "The Lottery" wasn't creepy enough,

You had to go and outdo her.

2. It's a riff on Swift's archly ironic...

..."A Modest Proposal," about the Irish eating babies, if memory serves. Kudos, Dave29 (but you gotta work on your contractions and possessive pronouns: its/it's).

3. Sounds like a new Fox Reality Series

Sorta sick, really, but closer to the truth than I ever thought it would be :(

5. And with advance warning

that alone would make it kinder than the current domestic policy.
