In Japan, shortly after babies learn how to walk and have developed enough dexterity in their little hands, they soon learn the game called “Jun-Ken- Pon”. Jun-Ken-Pon is the Japanese name for the game “Rocks, Paper, Scissors”. This game is played in countries all over the world, but in Japan it is as important to the culture as Sushi and “Hello Kitty”. Everyone knows how to play! It’s as an essential skill as using chopsticks or a Japanese style toilet. Children play it simply for fun or to settle arguments. And the best thing about Jun-Ken Pon is the results are final. No cheaters welcome! In schools, teachers decide which team goes first or who gets the extra dessert. Jun-Ken-Pon! My pudding! Or at home, the kids are fighting over who gets to play with the computer game Jun-Ken-Pon! I’m first. Even adults use it to decide all kinds of things. Who is the designated driver tonight? Jun-Ken-Pon! No sake for me. Who takes the dog for a walk this cold morning? Jun-Ken-Pon! I’ll get my coat.
I think many of the worlds problems can be settled by making Jun-Ken-Pon THE law to decide all kinds of issues. Drill for oil? Jun-Ken-Pon! Human Cloning? Jun-Ken-Pon! Who will be the next President or Prime Minister? Jun-Ken-Pon!
