Vermin
Supreme represents many abstract emotionally charged buzzwords, such as
freedom, justice, law, order, liberty and democracy, just to name a few.
So let's take a look at some of Vermin Supreme's 57 point plan to bring
our fair city into the 23rd century, shall we? and remember, these pogroms
are, of course, for your own good...
To do something
about the weather... "Too damn hot in the summer... too damn cold
in the winter." Possibilities understudy include: a.) a weather dome
over the entire city for climate control. b.) the physical relocation of
the entire city to a more hospitable climate or c.) simply throwin' out
anyone who complains.
Since individual
liberties can be counterproductive to a smooth running corporate climate,
and since police represent law and order, martial law will be imposed upon
election (or coup d'etat, whichever comes first.)
To make crime against
the law! combat illiterates! Fight the unemployed! And stop pregnant teenagers!
These statistics can easily be lowered by manipulating the figures upon
which they are based.
Polygraph, drug
tests and loyalty oaths for all citizens, along with the issuance of citizen
identity cards, radio transmitter implants and laser fingerprint tattoos
to keep track of you and your children, for your protection. Remember,
no one's a criminal until we say you are.
To utilize the powers
the powers of the eminent domain. To demolish some of the more tasteless
structures in town. Require vinyl siding on historical landmarks preserving
our cultural heritage for future generations of tourists to come.
Making dangerous
weapons available to anyone who wants them in order to help facilitate
the formation of a government-sponsored vigilante death squad, lynch mob
militia to help take the law back to our own hands. To help in the selected
elimination of certain anarchists, communists, street scum and other trouble-makers
to be defined at whim and subject to change without warning.
Massive and arbitrary
censorship of anything found offensive by an appointed truth and morality
squad. Severe restriction of information that could be harmful to you or
your children, because as we all know, what you don't know can't hurt you.
To make the homeless
disappear. Poof! As if by magic, presto chango. Out of sight, out of mind.
Where did they go? Oh, well, you don't really want to know now do you?
Nope. Not really. I didn't think so.
To achieve nuclear
capability for our little town taking more guff from neighboring municipalities
over contaminating "their" ground water and other such "sour
grapes".
Placement of lots
of little toxic biochemical, hazardous and/or nuclear waste dumps in your
backyards. We must all share in the burden of disposal.
Legalization of
prostitution and gambling along with the promotion of professional sports,
video arcades, and crack houses together with other mindless forms of diversion
to help you take your mind off what's really going on.
Vermin Supreme also promises:
To appoint lots of committees to look into all sorts of things.
To tax the bejeezus out of everything.
To pave over everything that has not been paved over yet.
Legislation to make
teeth brushing after every meal mandatory.
Free pizza and beer for everybody.
Vermin supreme
has already ordered a feasibility study on the possibility of taking his
rightful office through force if necessary, but in all moderation has promised
to call in an air strike only if really, really necessary. Vermin Supreme
shall be held unaccountable to no one. Yes some politicians are above the
law. They make them. Vermin Supreme knows that you, the public, will believe
anything you are told. Yes, through continuing miseducation, controlled
media, and lots of cheerful euphemisms, you'll never know what hit you.
