The Thunderdome/ancient Rome political conflict resolution model
We know those who make their BigBux from Fed government... see the shutdown as disaster/Armageddon cubed! We common folk notso much. Such is why
politicos and media seek to ferment panic and fear! All over media there's "we all gonna die" end of the
world scenarios 24/7! All the
GOP’s fault of course!
The Thunderdome/ancient
Rome political conflict resolution model: Quarreling politicians (you know they often accuse each other of wanting to
kill children and old folks), will be clad in loin cloths, given swords and
placed in the arena... for mortal (= to the death) gladiator combat. What a
reality show!!! Ratings in the stratosphere and a whole new twist on the idea
of "term limits"! I can see it now Michelle Bachmann vs Nancy Pelosi
or Harry Reid vs Ted Cruz (Winner gets an Obamacare waiver as they seem HIGHLY
PRIZED!).
Top card bout in PRIME TIME!... Obama vs Sarah! Pay per view of course with proceeds to the
national debt ($17 trill and counting!)... gridlock no more! In the event no
mortal blow is delivered in the fight and the victorious pol stands over their
vanquished foe... they can look into the coliseum where the "death
panel" scoreboard is located.. there the count will be revealed, a tally of votes of 900 pay call/text
numbers (yep even more revenue), where the people can call in and be the "death panels". After fifteen minutes the votes are counted and posted on the jumbotron…
and the fate of the defeated determined! Thumbs UP or DOWN.
Gotta be better than what we have now!
