I have an idea. I’ve been struck by the problem that the people that can change society quickly and dramatically are generally rich. Money provides them with the power to implement the changes that could help society. The problem is that that same money renders that person relatively immune to the problems of society, and therefore they have little to gain to using their money for such a purpose. So my idea was that women, in groups or on their own, could set up prizes, like the X prize, for completion of various societal improving achievements. The prize would be some kind of sexual contract varying w/ task. Of course, the problem with this is that it would be easier and cheap for the rich guy to just pay for sex directly, so this plan will only work if women (and men too. To avoid annoyingly having to be politically correct, from now on just assume I’m not a sexist pig but am a lazy slob) start respecting themselves enough not to sell themselves for less than the millions of dollars that it would cost to win the prize. Not very likely. Maybe I’ll make a prize for the first woman to set up a prize. I dunno if 8 would like that much though. Anyone figure out what I was talking about there? It’s clear in my head.
I wrote my congressman yesterday at like 3 am. I realized I never had so I did. Although, technically I dun think he was my congressman, since I vote in Oregon and all, but close enough. I didn’t send him that idea above. I just told him to add fungi to the endangered species thing. I worded better than that too.
Might be doing field work in 2 hours. I dunno though. The plan kinda got messed up when Pat didn’t show up like he normally does.
