Fantasy Politics

I've been watching TrueBlood on HBO recently. The concept of a realistic vampire integration into America is an allegory for the multitude of peoples who has traveled to US to seek freedom, equal rights, and liberty.

The news footages, and very realistic looking political campaign coverage, and on-air debate brings my mind to a new realization. Fiction is more exciting when you really really think about it like if it was real.

I mean, okay, it's not so hard to picture my boss as a blood sucking vampire... I mean he acts weirdly enough already. But, no really! think of it. All those people that I only see at night. What if they started political campaigns..

Ahh,  and that brings me to my main point. So there are a lot of fantasy foot ball leagues, and baseball, etc., etc. Why don't we start a fantasy politics? Where we establish rules and regulations and policies and political parties, and....

Hmmm, this needs a little more time in the oven...

cloning

Multiplicity is on Hulu today... And here's a great idea.

First, invent the cloning process that completes cloning of an adult human with memory copying in 15 minutes.
Then sell it for $1,000,000 premium above the cost to make it happen.
 Now, use this pitch:


"Think of all the free money you'll make if you just cloned your self, you'll make it back in a coupla years."



Then, back it up with numbers:

Say your annual salary is barely 6 digits ($100,000), after tax, it should be something around $65k/annum, now, say he eats and plays $15k/year, he'll be making $50k/year. $1 million will be made in 20 years, that's quicker than your 30 year mortgage!! And then from then on, it's free money!!
