I am interested, as part of my continuing effort to come up with money
making schemes, in polling the opinion of the populace at large as to the
following ideas:
1) Since the Gipper is bound to win the election today (meaning, in the
larger sense, that the economy is doomed to experience a profound recession
by about this time next year) what about the creation and marketing of
bumperstickers and/or buttons with the slogan: "Don't Blame Me; I Voted for
Mondale". Moreover, I would advertise the fact that
50 % of the profit on each sale would be donated to a
campaign fund to elect a Democrat in 1988, to offset the huge and somewhat
unfair bankroll the Republicans get from the Conservative world at large.

2) Ten years ago, if you drove along the roadsides of America about the
only type of fastfood one could find were greasy hamburgers/cheeseburgers a
la Burger King & McDonalds. Since then, however, the tastes of the American
eating public have changed dramatically, and it is not uncommon to find
quickie Mexican rest., and other "exotic" rest., depending on the part of
the country your in. What about fast Chinese? I don't know of any national
chains. The restaurants I'm thinking of would specialize in one type of
food in particular- something the Chinese call "dim sum". These are various
types of bite size morsels that one can find in Chinatowns accross the
country (things like pork buns, steamed dumplings, etc.) They can be cheap,
being sold for around 30 to 75 cents apiece (depending on size) are
generally not greasy, can be frozen for delivery accross country, come in a
large number of varieties, and are very different from what one can
generally find on a roadside now.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts; G. Sclar
