George Carlin's Proposal to Solve Two Problems

I thought this was too funny and a very, very good idea:

Bush wants us to cut the amount of gas we use. The best way to stop using so much gas is to deport 11 million illegal immigrants! That would be 11 million less people using our gas. The price of gas would come down. Bring our troops home from Iraq to guard the border. When they catch an illegal immigrant crossing the border, hand him a canteen, rifle and some ammo and ship him to Iraq. Tell him if he wants to come to America then he must serve a tour in the military. Give him a soldier's pay while he's there and tax him on it. After his tour, he will be allowed to become a citizen since he defended this country. He will also be registered to be taxed and be a legal patriot. This option will probably deter illegal immigration and provide a solution for the troops in Iraq and the aliens trying to make a better life for themselves. If they refuse to serve, ship them to Iraq anyway, without the canteen, rifle or ammo. Problem solved. If you think this is a good solution to both of the problems, forward this onto your friends.

I am nearing the end of my ordeal with license and legal charges that I incurred last year. I have applied for the charges to be expunged and should be clear in about 4-6 weeks (county offices, jesh!) and my last ADSAP class is tomorrow. So, next week I will be getting a license - I have already received several unsolicited lectures as to the dangers of drinking and driving. I have endured this with very little grace and almost no patience. Thanks to my friends for listening to me whine for over a year. I love you guys - all three of you - with all my heart.
