Xan's "Manifesto" [a rough draft]
I. The institution of mandatory road tests for everyone in the US every 5 years, must take place. This will stop reeaaallly bad drivers who slip through every once in a while and for old peoples.

II. There needs to be releasable zip-ties for bread bags, these metal twist ties and thin plastic clips they attach just aren't cutting it.

III. Gay marriage must become a legal and binding nation-wide union of two people, holding all current aspects of heterosexual marriages, but churches do not need to be forced to perform religious ceremonies of marriage when homosexuality is specifically against said religion.

IV. It is better to have loved and lost than to be hit in the face with a Mack truck.

V. There will be no more idiotic and non-sequitur product mascots in TV commercials (eg: Rastafarian Skippy Elephants, Scottish Gum Man).  A board committee to determine what qualifies as "idiotic and non sequitur" will be established in Los Angeles, CA.

VI. The drinking age should be abolished in the United States completely.  It works in Europe.

VII. Every child at some point in their lives should read and understand the books 1984, Animal Farm, Charlotte's Web, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, for their cultural, historical, and political issues.

VIII. Mark Christian Bellhorn should be shot.

IX.  Not really.

X. "Man is the only animal that deals in that atrocity of atrocities, War. He is the only one that gathers his brethren about him and goes forth in cold blood and calm pulse to exterminate his kind. He is the only animal that for sordid wages will march out... and help to slaughter strangers of his own species who have done him no harm and with whom he has no quarrel.... And in the intervals between campaigns he washes the blood off his hands and works for "the universal brotherhood of man" - with his mouth" - Mark Twain.

True, dat, Twainie.

XI. No drilling in Alaska.  There wouldn't be enough to sustain us for even really a month, and why destroy natural, beautiful land that could instead be preserved for the wildlife therein?

XII. Abortion should be legal.  It's a woman's choice, up until the 2nd trimester, and then they must come to term.  It's a human being, but with all the drug addict moms, kids born with FAS, kids abandoned by parents resulting in psychological disorders and issues, poor moms adding more mouths in their family to feed, and world overpopulation, we can stand to control the population a little bit before we completely rape the world of its natural resources and leave the new generation Freudian type psycho.

XIII. The Atkins diet is bogus.  Any diet that tells you that you need to eat sandwiches without bread, that fruit is bad, and creates a yo-yo weight effect when from which one slightly deviates, is WRONG.

IXV. Employees should not be hired at any American establishment, especially those that deal with the public specifically, if they do not speak English fluently.  Period.

XV. New Hampshire should remain a tax-free state... for EVER.
