All we need is...

The Beatles (at least, I blame them for it) sang, "All we need is love". Hollywood movies repeatedly send the message that love is indeed the food and drink, all you need. Many war activists used the phrase, "Give peace a chance", indicating in so many words that all we need is...love.
They are all wrong.
What we really need is more dancing penguins. Dancing pandas are cool too. They can do the Iceberg Shuffle, The Glacier Glide, the "I have fins that you pathetic humans will never have" Flipper dance. How cool is that? Penguins can do it, why can't you? I bet many readers have not even SEEN a penguin dance. I am telling you, it is sexier than salsa, more passionate than hip-hop, more active than a Clog dance, and more fun than a Mexican Hat dance. I tell you, I have seen Mexican Hats and I have seen them dance and...well...their dance reminds me a lot of watching cadavers dance. Little movement, little energy...just doesn't do much for me. To me, the hats look like they just sit there. Not very entertaining. But a penguin dance...
So if you want to make the world a better place, just send your congressman a letter asking him to make sure there are some state-sponsored penguin dances soon.
Maybe we could get a reality show...So you think your Penguin can Dance? America's Next top Penguin Dancer. American Penguin. The Amazing Penguin Dance. So You're My new Penguin Dancer. Penguin Dancer Swap. Last Penguin Dancer Standing. Penguin Dancer or no Penguin Dancer. And, of course, the grand-daddy of them all, Penguin Dance Survivor:Antarctica:Outdance, Outflap, Out softshoe.
I think I have proved my point. If we want to end world hunger, if we want world peace, if we want to end racism, all we need is...more penguins dancing. Preferably carrying sporks.

Now I have the spork-carrying penguin image in my head...Sean says in goat culture, spork dancing is frowned upon :(
