Better questions for next US presidential candidates
Play
Soon Americans will be bored silly listening to American presidential debates where the candidates will give irrelevant answers to irrelevant questions.
So I’d like to take this opportunity to ask the candidates the following questions that will never be asked.
Doesn’t the evidence show that America’s role as the policeman of the world has done more to cause terrorism than to prevent it (Think Iraq)?
Why should America have a “special relationship” with Israel as opposed to treating it like any other country?
After spending hundreds of billions of dollars on the drug war and accomplishing nothing, why should we assume that spending billions of dollars more will get different results?
With the world headed towards mass starvation, what should be done about the beef, pork and poultry industries that are wasting a fantastic amount of plant food and water?
Doesn’t the electoral college make a mockery of the principle of “one man, one vote”?
Instead of addressing these questions, the candidates will use the debates to promise to kill more terrorists and be more pro-Israel and anti-drugs than all their opponents combined.
Let the games begin!
