Dear Mr. President, I am writing you about an issue that has recently come to my attention. It regards our flag. I've noticed that when countries get massive chemical imbalances, become evil and our enemies, their flags become completely hectic. When the countries are straightened out, and they turn back into our peace loving friends once again, their flags become passive and weak. For instance, in World War Two, both Germany and Japan had extremely hectic, menacing flag designs. After we beat them, their flags became bland and irrelevant. I'm not suggesting that the American flag is in any way bland or passive, especially in comparison to Germany's three lines and Japan's dot. Our flag is very majestic and proud with it's bold stars and stripes. However, I do feel that if the United States is going to be using it's military influence in other countries (and despite the fact that no one in your position has admitted that America has been at war for years, I know for a fact we are) our American advisors should be equipped with a much more threatening flag. A good flag intimidates and puts fear into the hearts of the enemy. I suggest a bald eagle holding a severed head in it's claws. The back ground could be the red and white stripes from the old, traditional flag, which of course would be taken out of retirement for parades and such. I think that this updated flag would make a world of difference in our peace keeping missions and could help the United States to become the great imperial empire it is destined to become. As a young voter, this is an important subject to me. I hope you will spend time considering this controversial subject, or at least get Newt Gingrich to get on it, if you are too busy right now. I'm sure that he would jump at the chance to work on designing such a flag. Please give my best regards to Mrs. Clinton, Chelsea, Mr. Gore and all your secret service men. Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Clinton, I received a reply to the letter I wrote you today, and frankly, I am somewhat disappointed. I don't even think you bothered to read my letter, let alone spend some time writing a decent response. I would expect such behavior from previous presidents, but I thought you were the exception to the rule. I guess I was mistaken to believe you were one of those "old fashion" presidents who, even in this day and age, take time to care about American citizens. I realize that I am merely one voter out of millions, but I think that my ideas are legitimate and could help our country greatly. The reason I am writing this second letter to you is that I have more ideas that could move our country into the twenty-first century and I think that it's important that you, being the leader of the free world, hear them. I, like any other rational thinking American, am against nuclear war. I am aware that despite the fact that the United States has been dismantling a lot of nuclear weapons, many more are being produced, replacing the ones being taken apart. I don't see the logic in this at all and it seems like a huge waste of taxpayers' money. Why are we building these atomic weapons only to take them apart again? Why not stop building more bombs and just keep the amount we really need. Then, instead of dismantling the leftover ones, we could use them to do something positive; Like sending rockets full of these bombs into outer space and blowing up other planets. This suggestion may sound a little strange at first, but really it's quite a sensible solution to our problem. Just think of it: What could be more spectacular on the 4th of July in the year 2000 than a massive explosion in outer space? Such an awe-inspiring event would re-install people's hope for prosperity as we step into the future. I suggest blowing up either Mars or one of Jupiter's many moons. These heavenly bodies are distant enough that we on Earth wouldn't be harmed by the gargantuan explosions, radioactive waves and changes in gravity, but near enough so that we'll all get a great view. It'll of course take a couple of years for the missiles to hit their target, but I'm sure the guys at NASA could time it right so the explosions would happen exactly on New Year's Day or whatever. I know what you're thinking- that this whole blowing up planets deal is going to cost an arm and a leg- and you're right of course, but it couldn't possibly cost more than it costs to keep building and dismantling bombs all the time. This idea may seem a bit radical, but desperate times call for desperate measures. A spectacle such as this one would prove not only what a great president you are, but prove once and for all that the United States of America is the greatest nation in the entire universe. Please write back with your response. Thank you very much. Say "hi" to Chelsea and Mrs. Clinton for me. Your pal,

Dear President Clinton, Well, it has been several months since my last letter, so I guess it's
pretty safe to assume that I'm not going to get a reply. Though I'm disappointed,
I'm not laying the blame on you, because I'm sure there is some legitimate
reason for my not receiving an answer. Perhaps you are currently too busy
to reply, or maybe there was a mishap at the post office (they seem to
lose mail fairly regularly).
Thank you for your time.
PS: I am an artist who is very poor and needs a place to stay and paint.
I was wondering if I could move into the White House with you. I am very
neat and clean and would probably only require one or two secret service
agents. I'd be more than happy to give free painting lessons to Mrs. Clinton,
Chelsea or yourself. I would be willing to live in any space you have available,
even the Nixon bedroom. Please give this some thought and give me a reply
when you send a response to this letter. Hope to see you soon! Adam Beebe 606-05-9725 |
