MY DESERT ISLAND

On my desert island, there will be:

* no conversational emails...humans will talk with each other and hear the inflections, the nuances of expression...they will hear and feel "I love you" from the heart and not from the keyboard

* children will be taught the art of logical thinking and the virtue of independence...there will be no calculators used in schools or on exams, students will use and sharpen the calculator that nature gave them...there will be no public schools

* there will be no coupons giving discounts on the price of goods only to those who spend precious time (far more valuable than the discounts) cutting coupons

* there will be no reality shows, no talk shows, no sitcoms on television, which will air only performing arts, sporting events and one half hour of daily news...there will be no commercials

* children will choose their own names at age 15

* no license will be required for marriage, no judge's approval for divotce

* all drugs will be over the counter to adults

* animals will not be hunted for pleasure, caged or eaten

* all decibel levels (radio, tv, stereos, ipods, etc) will be kept at a level that does not interfere with one's ability to hear oneself think

* workers will be paid cash at the end of each day's work...there will be no withholdings, no company benefits, no paid vacations, no sick leaves

* there will be no government

* everyone must do one thing each day to make the island more beautiful

* my desert island will be open only to those I invite to live there...there will be a "3 times you're out" guideline: do two things at the same time and/or be negative and/or be dishonest 3 times and you will be permanently banished from my island!
