» Make My Country Look Better? A 20/20 Vision For 2020 | One Dollar Jackpot - 25 Words or Less Competition

I was wrong last week when I said the conference for our country was called 20/20. Apparently it had nothing at all to do with getting your eyes checked for glasses - or vision. Apparently 2020 is the correct title and it’s a date. Who would have thought? I thought 20/20 was a pretty good idea! I think I’ll hold a conference some time called 20/20 - maybe in 12 years or so.

So what’s your big idea to make your country better? I was reading the other day of a company that have made Friday a part of the weekend. That’s right, for just 4 days of work you get 3 days of rest. I’m a big fan of that idea. Their reasoning is that in their area of the web industry, nothing is really urgent on a Friday. If it is urgent for Friday - you can probably wait till Monday to launch it. Apparently they also get as much done in a four day week as a five day week. Maybe I can do that too. Maybe I can do lots of things. I probably won’t though.

So on to your big ideas, well maybe just ideas. I don’t know if they’re big or not.

• Banning of cigarettes. This is the sole reason I hate the city. People smoking everywhere!
• I would run a fascist regime,
  I’d only have yes-men on my team.
  If you disagree then you get executed,
  Strapped in a chair and electrocuted.
• no war, no hatred,
  loving life,
  happy face,
  be good attitude,
  maybe that is good enough
  to make my country better
• To make the world a better place
  dismantle nukes, and set the race-
  s equal in the minds of all
  thus can we reverse the fall
• Fear not
  Fear not
  Fear not
• More trees
  Less cars
  More peas
  Less Mars ^(?)
• Love your neighbour as yourself.

Let me just say from the outset - Fascism reigns on this website. There’s no way you can win without my say so. You agree with me yes?

To those who think we can reverse the fall - good luck Really. Good luck - because in my fascist state of a website, you will find yourself strapped to the chair and soon enough you’ll have fuzzy hair.

More trees
Less cars
More peas
Less Mars

I like the sounds of Byron today though, his poem and word play was quite to my liking, even without an explanation it made much sense. Here’s what Byron says about his little ditty…

peas = peace vs Mars = god of war; also peas > Mars (healthy food over junk food). Cleva huh?

Yes very clever Byron, enjoy your dollar I’m sure you’ll know where to invest it best!
