Robert Anton Wilson Running for Govenor of California!!!!!:

I would totally vote for him.




"My party, the Guns and Dope Party, invites extremists of both right and left to unite behind our shared goals of:
Get those pointy-headed Washington bureaucrats off our backs and off our fronts too!
Guns for everybody who wants them; no guns for those who don't want them
Drugs for everybody who wants them; no drugs for those who don't want them
Freedom of choice, free love,free speech, free Internet and free beer
California secession -- Keep the anti-gun and ant-dope fanatics on the Eastern side of the Rockies
Lotsa wild parties every night by gun-toting dopers
Animal protection -- Support your right to keep and arm bears
More position papers will follow; we know at least 69 good positions.
POSITION PAPER 5
Major goal of first term: California secesion. [Oregon, Washington State and B.C. invited to join Freetopia....]
First order of business on assuming office: Fire 33% of the legislature [names selected at random] and replace them with full-grown adult ostriches, whose mysterious and awesome dignity will elevate the suidean barbarity long established there.
Both the pro-gun people and the dopers [medical, religious and/or receational] feel like minorities, and the TSOG [Tsarist Occupation Government] agrees with this estimate of their weakness. Our contention holds that in California both groups woikin' together make a MAJORITY. Ergo, they have much to gain and nowt to lose in combining forces. Each side only has to realize this and agree 'We'll tolerate their hobbies if they'll tolerate ours' and we can even beat Schwarzenegger!
