If you were put in charge of creating a brand new global holiday, what would you name it and how would it be celebrated?

This made me think of a guy I worked with many years ago.  He was retired military and thought society would greatly benefit from every adult having the right to kill two people during his adult  years up to his own death.  He was certain we would have a society who treated each other wonderfully as we would never know who had and had not used his two free kills.  Crazy?  Of course.  

Whoa. That hit me in several ways. :)

Me too.  I remember it like yesterday.  He was dead serious.

That is a new one. 
I have heard many people say "An armed society is a polite society."

I would love him too if he really eats pesky ants.

Personally I prefer the echidna, or "spiny anteater". I'm parochial. Interestingly it's one of only two species of mammal that lays eggs.



Also being gay is nothing to be ashamed nor proud of. You're wired that way and most people are at least SLIGHTLY bi, although in most straight people its so slight as to be unnoticeable even by the person him or herself. I'm not, but being Demi I'm in a sexual minority myself. This post was edited by Slartibartfast at April 27, 2024 5:55 PM MDT

I really like the echidna, too. Thanks for sharing the photo and info.

And, yes, I'm neither ashamed nor proud. And I appreciate your other sharings here.

And I appreciate all your sharings on the site. Always good to see you.

 Whew! I for one am glad that this is just a pipe dream with absolutely no probability of ever being realized!

EXCELLENT, yes!
