SUBGENIUS ISLAND

We NEED an island, now more than ever! A nice semi-tropical island large
enough to house us all and all the equipment we would need to start some
kind of thriving computer-type business, maybe being the only ISP in some
tropical land or something like that.

ANYWAY. We're not going to get this island at current Church profit levels,
and although a steady stream of money-making tee-shirt and video ideas are
always spewing forth from the faithful, it doesn't look like the Church will
be wealthy any time soon.

SO! We should do what people from the dawn of time have always done when
they want something really really bad that they can't afford -- BEG! That's
right, beg! Beg people who already have islands and who might be convinced
to give them to us, such as inventor Dean Kamen or the Disney Corporation.
Also beg people who have the means to buy us an island just for fun, like
Donald Trump and Bill Gates.

It's time we gave up on CONVERTING these people and just concentrated on the
sheer obnoxious power of BEGGING. We should beg in all forms -- begging
video tapes, mass letter-writing campaigns, email, cd-roms, websites,
everything! Deluge the rich with annoying, non-stop begging! Go to their
lectures and ask for an island during the question and answer part! Bribe
their chauffers to beg on your behalf! Seduce them! Whatever it takes!

As long as we don't cross the line from "begging" to "stalking," we should
be lying in the sun drinking margueritas before we can say "hampants"!!

Could also LIE. Start a rumor about an island so no one
would want it anymore, buy it for ridiculously low prices.
Better yet, start a company to salvage junk islands, and
get the owners to pay us to take it.
