MY SALUTE TO THE BANANA REPUBLIC

 

Just a small number of weeks ago, we were 5 strangers, that joined together to form "The Banana Republic." The  greatest country on the planet, (provided that planet is not Earth, then the top honor goes to The United States.) We have overcome the challenges of not knowing each other, or how each individual feels about the different topics we have to make laws about. One of the factors that is working for us, is the fact that we have a very intelligent core to our group, and some imaginative thinkers who have tackled the tasks assigned to us, and  given an exemplary performance. Perhaps the biggest drawback so far is a reluctance to voice an opinion on controversial subjects, such as abortion or gun control. However after our intelligent debates, we seem to always come to a consensus.  We have chosen a course of above average aggressiveness, but not being overtly evil. We feel that as the "Greatest Country" on the Planet, we should be given deference as to how things work here. Kinda like the big kid on the block, without being too rough on the lessors. To our way of thinking, a fair split would be Banana Republic 60%, someone else 40%.

We basically take a proactive approach to our dealings with others, while still allowing them some prosperity, so they can offer us more the next time we have a trade interaction with them. With that strategy in mind, we should end up on top of the world.

I guess as far as an example of someone we would model after, it would be us.
