First things first
After reading the responses to my kanji rant that succeeded in making me feel stupid for a few minutes, I began thinking about this concept of conveying ideas with a single crazy character. I started to push this idea: what about kanji characters that could tell a whole sentence? Or paragraph? Or even a whole story? Then I had this vision of people in Japan buying big cards instead of books. Each card has a big, single kanji written on it, and after staring at it for about 10 seconds the person says "Whoa! That's a great story!" or "I can't believe the murderer was her own son!" Now THAT would be cool.
