Weekend Assignment: Message to the World

Fresh when it gets here from Julie Barrett
Friday, October 24, 2008


Imagine that you have the world's full attention (or your country's full attention) for a maximum of two minutes. What do you tell everyone?

Easy: Deal with it.

All I see is wailing and gnashing of teeth over what will happen if one candidate or the other wins on November 4. If you don't like it, vote. If you don't vote*, then you don't have the right to bitch. Pardon my language, but that's the way I feel.

Extra Credit: Would you prefer your message to be broadcast on tv or radio, or published in multiple print media?

I prefer to take the Klaatu route (the classic version, thank you very much) and just take over every electronic device on that planet and broadcast in every language known to man, beast, and creepy crawly thing.

Since that's not going to happen, the blog will do, thank you. ;-)

(*That is, if you're qualified. If you're under 18 or working towards citizenship you get a pass from me.)
