Kang and Kodos Solve the Abortion Debate

There is a Treehouse of Horror (1996) episode of the Simpsons that aired before the election between Bill Clinton and Bob Dole. Aliens Kang and Kodos commandeered the bodies of these two politicians in order to take over America when either got elected. During a debate, the hot-button issue of abortion came up, to which Kang said: "Abortions for all." and the crowd booed. So then he said, "Very well, no abortions for anyone." and got booed again, so he came up with this solution, "Hmm... Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others." and the crowd cheered and waved little America flags. That's one smart alien! Kang and Kodos could probably solve the gay marriage issue similarly: Gay marriage for all. (boo) No gay marriage for anybody. (boo) Gay marriage for some, beer and apple pie for others. (yay?) What do you think?

That was a great episode. I think Homer's line at the end demonstrates our system best when he says "Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos."
