Greetings and Salutations My dear FuBarbarians! Welcome to my first blog of many more to come.
I get asked all the time "Who should be our next president?' I say Really I do not care so much anymore and here is why? I can not stand either candidate, and neither of them impress me. In fact the scare the living piss out of me for the most part. Between Old McCain's anger management problems and closet liberal agenda, and Obama's ties to a racist church and his own dubious religious leanings,lack of patriotism, and lack of experience...I swear I wish I had some "VIABLE" third option.
Alas since there is none..I'd rather ponder for a bit what I could do if I was at the helm of this sinking ship.
First I would do away with the archaic and sad convention known as the Electoral College and reinstate the convention of one man=one vote. A more fair and balanced system and also a system that would likely get more people to vote and give third party candidates a fighting chance.
Secondly, I would Like to make all media subscribe the the equal time law or have the FCC yank their license for failing to do so. Money should not be a the determining factor of who gets elected and who does not.. And also there are far more people running for president that deserve the right to be heard and debate with the two people currently at war for the presidency than are currently allowed too.
Thirdly, I would legalize marijuana but I would legislate it heavily, but not punishingly. I know man y of the pseudo-moralists out there would be all up in arms over this. However, the 7 billion dollars in savings a year alone for not incarcerating pot users, growers and dealers would be a boon to our fragile economy. Furthermore it is a bumper crop and has saved our nation in the past many times.
Forth, I would like to see Gambling become legal in all 50 states whether it is run by native Americans or otherwise. The reason being is like the lottery or bingo, proceeds go to other things besides the house or the winner, so why not use it instead of taxes to take care of all of our infrastructural needs, like roads, transportation, education and so on and so forth.
Fifth, Why not legalize prostitution as well. No more fear of diseases and proceeds being used to fuel our economy...now that is what I call stimulus. now I know many of you would be upset using the straw man and slippery slope arguments about "kids getting high, or high drivers or wives who hook for money and kicks...etc...Sorry but A person who is moral when there is law, but breaks them when there is not...is not moral.
Sixth, I would tax the rich and well off and cut them from using tax shelters, but legislate them so they could not take it out on the working class. Who needs 6 mansions anyways???
That is all I can think of for now...I will give you guys a gander at part two later.Thank you all for reading.
