A New America or Ways to Not Die

Recently I was reading this book:

My daughters separately asked me what this book was about.  They both know who Barack Obama is and so I told them that it was basically about how he thinks he can make America better.  My youngest volunteered to tell me how to make America better and her plan included the following:

1. Don’t litter.
2. Save water.
3. Recycle.
4. Be nice to people.

My oldest daughter had a little different way of looking at things.  She’s obsessed with things that scare her and currently her biggest fear is a tornado. Her “New Deal” included:

1. Make houses tornado proof.

That’s about it.  She just wanted to make sure catastrophic events didn’t happen.

As for me, I say: Let’s start by not littering so that tornadoes don’t have garbage in them.
