Funny Bone: Ticklish

"Time to elect a new precedent" - advice from Swami Beyondananda, author of the new book, Swami for Precedent - A 7-Step Plan to Heal the Body Politic and Cure Electile Disfunction. From Step 7: Don't Get Even, Get Odd!:


Here's An Odd Idea: Let's Declare CODE GREEN
In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, Americans have been
terrorized not just by terrorism, but by the war on
terrorism. Our Department of Homeland Insecurity has
even color-coded danger, to make sure we "see red"
when they need us to. All this codedependence has
made most Americans sad and scared. But after all,
these frightening colors are just a pigment of our
imagination anyway, so why don't we try something
odd and imagine something different? Imagine the
yellow of fear and blue of the blues being dissolved
in a warm solution of love, and blending into a
healing green. Instead of fomenting anger and an
emergency mentality, why not foment love and creativity
and an emerge 'n see mentality instead? Time to emerge
from the habit of getting even and see the odd
solution that is just ridiculous enough to work!
Let's declare Code Green!
