America

The US election is soon, and I am concerned at the level of debate, the congruity between the candidates, the lack of a definite purpose. Obviously and clearly there will be no real change whoever is elected, this is surely clear.

But the 300 millions within the United States given so little real choice, I think must organise and demand a truly representative and responsible government beyond the strictures and machine politics of the two party system. Only through grassroots activism will real change come about. But activism without a plan will fail, therefore what is also needed is a clear and sensible set of demands which the people must not resile from.

For the benefit of America I have thought long and hard on what America needs to do to promote the happiness of its people, I have consulted widely and after much deliberation have come back to a set of demands first annunciated in 1956 by that great American Allen Ginsburg. Here then is the questions that America needs to address, the demands that its people need to make:



From the poem America (17 January 1956) by Allen Ginsburg.



P.S. I have no idea about the eggs bit, maybe when you simplify the demands down for a proposition vote I would suggest leaving this bit out.
