What do you mean departed reality-land? Just trying to be fair. I thought someone as even handed as you would appreciate this kind of generosity. I honestly don't see what your objections to the McDonald's Ratio might be. After all, it deals with a lot of globalization issues, and allows the Islamists and assorted freedom fighters whose homelands we have desecrated a richly deserved level playing field. It fixes our foreign policy conundrums in a jiffy. No more muss, no more fuss, sell a burger and off with your head. That'll teach us, by golly. Don't have to deal with tricky issues, like the billions the Saudi Royals have funneled to AQ, or all the Iraqis killed by Saddam, no sir, or whatever in the name of the Sam Hill the Iranians might be up to with nuculear weapons. I really do like this handy-dandy McDonald's Ratio. It's simple, easy to comprehend, fair, and has nice collateral effects. Heck, it will be good for our health, just think, all our school kids eating healthy snacks instead of Big Macs. And by the way, don't we have a bit of an overpopulation problem, anyway? Hey, in due course, as MickD goes off the map, everyone who drives a car or SUV gets put on the list, and we can have an Oil Ratio. Use up a gallon of gas, and the Bad Guys get to blow up or behead another American. Sounds fair to me. I should think you would love something like this. All the fault is ours, and none rests on the guys doing the killing since, after all, they're just playing catch up and trying to kill on a level field while engaging in a little rough justice to make up for our centuries long history of misdeeds and oppression. And while we are at it, I'd like you to consider the fairness of giving back California to Mexico. And why stop there, now that I think about it, we really should give back the Midwest and everything west of the Mississippi to the Native Americans. Hey, we should all go back to where we came from, dang nab it. I can't imagine what your objections would be.
