I just got through reading a post by Jello Biafra. An open letter
to our president elect.

He passes on some ideas that I think are worth considering but
personally do not believe will see the light of day.

It's fairly long so I will not cite it all here. But this passage pretty sums
it up.

National security means:

    * Everyone has a home.

    * Everyone has enough decent food to
      eat.

    * Everyone can drink the water
      without having to buy it in a
      bottle from Coke or Pepsi.

    * No one has to worry about getting
      their hand cut off at work or
      having their job outsourced
      overseas.

    * Everyone can be who they are
      without fear of being detained and
      tortured without trial.

    * Everyone can vote without fear,
      knowing their vote will be
      counted-accurately.

    * Every woman has the right to
      choose what to do with her own
      body.

    * Everyone has enough money for
      life, liberty and the pursuit of
      happiness.

    * Everyone, even if they don't have
      money, has the right to see a
      doctor if they're sick or hurt. In
      so many other countries this is a
      guaranteed human right by law.

Sadly I do not think that even one of his suggestions will even
make it to Obama's desk.
