A plan for our times

Tim Blair sets out his manifesto for making the world a better place. I particularly like items four and five.

4: At the conclusion of every financial year, an auction should be held at which are sold all items of taxpayer-funded art (in the case of musical, cinematic or literary artforms, the copyright shall be auctioned). Should the highest bid exceed the amount of funding, the artist pockets the difference. If the highest bid falls short, the artist must repay the difference.

5: By working at McDonald’s.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
