We Are Great

By Skip Skiffington

This short book, "We Are Great", is about a thirty year collection of some of my spontaneous writings. Early in my life, I realized the importance of keeping and saving my writings, only to be published someday in the future. Well, that day is now and here it is, just for you the reader. Although some people may find parts of my writings offensive, they must keep in mind that I have the same freedom to speak my mind as they do. The main purpose of my writings is to encourage people to think and to always search for the truth and to accept the truth, whatever that truth may turn out to be. Perhaps we can go to the next level of human consciousness together. Won't you join me?

The American Party

Free Democratic Citizens of America

1988 Political Party Platform

We recognize two phases of our modern-day world, which will soon be implemented and come to pass:

1) The perfect democracy is upon us and must be implemented.

By 1992, at the latest, with the use of the computer terminal soon to be in every home, we will all vote on and decide the issues of the day by popular vote.

The important thing to remember is that we will no longer need paid politicians (elected officials) to tell us how to run our lives. All matters will be hashed out on national television by popular citizens and then voted on by the national citizenry.

2) Nuclear weapons have rendered conventional armies obsolete.

Supporting conventional armies in a peacetime economy is a waste of the taxpayer’s money. Nuclear weapons will hold any invader at bay until we mobilize our peacetime economy for any war, once attacked.

More importantly, we will finally be taking these now-unproductive politicians and military personnel and finding them gainful employment in the ranks of the American business community.

The sooner the American people recognize these facts, the sooner we can get on with the implementation of the perfect democracy.

Thank you for this opportunity to serve and to clarify any misconceptions anyone might have about where this country should be headed in my view.

Sincerely yours always,

New American Order

It is a wonderful new world of order and conformity, where everything falls into place just as if it were made to fit. People have confidence in themselves as never before. The days of doubt are gone, and a new can-do attitude prevails. People everywhere are marching to a more modern drum. A drum that demands that we accomplish much with little. For we live in an era where mankind has much to do in the way of work. There is much to be done in the area of making life easier for every man, woman, and child. We must take another look at just how we perceive
