[BARC-List] [Fwd: Robin Williams]

Hi Everyone,

Even though I agree with some of the plan, Robin Williams did not come up 
with it. 

Before you send email like this you should always check with Urban Legend 
webpages such as <http://www.snopes.com>

Part of write up from the above webpages:
____________________________
"Origins:   We don't yet know who is responsible for the piece quoted above, 
but it definitely wasn't actor-comedian Robin Williams (of Mork & Mindy fame). 
This item's debut appears to have been a 20 March 2003 posting to the USENET 
newsgroup alt.motorcycles.harley, and from there it was rapidly disseminated 
via e-mail and blogs, credited to either "author unknown" or no one at all. The 
Robin Williams attribution wasn't tacked on until several weeks later, 
apparently because along the way someone appended a genuine Robin Williams quote to 
the list as an eleventh item:

    "The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying 'Give me your poor, your 
tired, your huddled masses.' She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'You want 
a piece of me?'" - Robin Williams.

Obviously the Robin Williams attribution for the final item was interpreted 
as applying to the list as a whole, so now the entire piece is making the 
rounds as 'the Robin Williams plan.'

Robin Williams has a plan

AMEN to this plan!!

Robin Williams has a Plan

Leave it to Robin Williams to come up with the perfect plan ... what we

need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up and repeat this message.

Robin William's plan...(Hard to argue with this logic!)  I see a lot of
people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan for  peace. So,
here's one
plan:

1.) The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in their
affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo, Noriega,
Milosovic and
the rest of those 'good ole boys,' We will never "interfere" again.

2.) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with
Germany, South Korea and the Philippines. They don't want us there. We
would station
troops at our borders. No one sneaking through holes in the fence.

3.) All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and
leave.
We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be
gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of who or where they
are. France
would welcome them.

4.) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90
days
unless given a special permit. No one from a terrorist nation would be
allowed
in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here.
Asylum
would never be available to anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers
or 7-11
cashiers.

5.) No "students" over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they
don't
attend classes, they get a "D" and it's back home baby.

6.) The US will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy
wise.
This will include developing nonpolluting sources of energy but will
require a
temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will
have to
cope for a while.

7.) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel
for
their oil. If they don't like it, we go some place else. They can go
somewhere
else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells filling up the
storage
sites would be enough.)

8) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we
will
not "interfere." They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds, rain,
cement or
whatever they need. Besides most of what we give them is stolen or given
to
the army. The people who need it most get very little, if anything.
9.) Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island some place. We don't
need
the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building would
make a
good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.

10.) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one
can
call us "Ugly Americans" any longer.

11.) The Language we speak is ENGLISH.....learn it...or LEAVE...

Now, ain't that a winner of a plan.

"The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying 'Give me your poor, your
tired,
your huddled masses.' She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling,  'You
want a
piece of me?'" -

If you agree with the above forward it to friends
