You wake up with complete dictatorial powers in USA - what do you do?

[ScienceRocks]

We should go back to the 50's, 60's and 70's in regulations that worked well with a fairly free economy. High educational standards, high level of innovation, and slightly less regulations on the free market.

The difference between the hard core conservatives and me is I want to go back to our peak during the 50's to 70's. The hay day of science, r&d and education...During this period we were the best in the world. They want to go back to the 18th century!

 

[DriftingSand]

I'm not opposed to a little socialism or a little less regulation. I'm a pragmatist, which is somehow lost in the on going battle between left and right, liberal and conservative.

IMO Socialism and unregulated Capitalism are impractical given human nature, it seems reasonable to me to drop the labels and seek solutions to problems not confined to an ideological box.

Consider the idea of a six regional teaching hospitals where a capable and motivated student, unable to afford the high cost of college, let alone medical school, is able to complete two years of school (grades 13 and 14 in my construct) focused entirely on a career in health care; then enter a teaching hospital/medical school well prepared and focused on a career in the healing arts (and other areas of need for the 21st. Century).

We may not agree completely but I can appreciate your reasonable response and desire to make things work.

I would outlaw the Boston Celtics and bomb Canada because of Bryan Addams.

 

[DriftingSand]

In my construct (to borrow Wry Catcher's term) I would evaluate the talents and strong points of youngsters at a very, very young age (pre-school perhaps?). It would be strongly suggested that children be given various problems to solve and a variety of tools to solve them. We would test for people skills; communications skills; engineering skills; mathematical skills; creative skills (writing, painting, singing, musical instruments, pottery, etc.); leadership skills; etc. We would try to determine early on which direction a child might go in life then we could tailor his or her education to further strengthen his or her natural talents.

ME: Liberate the American people.

Restore the Constitution (give power back to the people) and keep on rollin'.

that's nice… whose version of the constitution? yours or what it really is?

His.

The Welfare/Warfare State Constitution Reads:

Whatever the fuck the government wants to do , whenever it wants to do it, however it wants to do it , is copacetic.

The Supreme Court is now a cabinet level agency.

Franklin Del-Anus Roosevelt
Prime Minister

So you don't like the free market! This is why I think of your kind as the go back to the farm and plant the crop kind. You hate the free market and the government at the same time!

 

[auditor0007]

1.) Eliminate the first 13 words in the 2nd amendment.
(won't change its meaning or effect, but it will give the liberals fewer excuses to hide behind)

2.) Insert the word "explicitly" before the word "delegated" in the 10th amendment.
(won't change its meaning or effect, but it will give the liberals fewer excuses to hide behind)

3.) Insert another amendment in the Constitution, whose spirit is that court decisions cannot supersede the text of the Constitution.
(won't change its meaning or effect, but it will give the liberals fewer excuses to hide behind)

4.) Ban all dictatorial powers including my own.

So you want to change the Constitution so it fits your interpretation of it. Got it. Funny how all you do is bitch about the Constitution and "liberals" trying to interpret it, then you want to change it. Funny shit man.

Son, if you tried a little harder you could come a little closer to being the most unimaginative twit on the net this month.

 

[auditor0007]

1) Restore the flow of water to California, fuck the Delta Smelt
2) Approve the Keystone
3) Approve EVERY oil lease applied for
3) Loosen the restrictions on new Coal plants and oil refineries

Turn us into China with all of their pollution problems. Fucking Conservative Nirvana man.

Lgalize and tax pot, free gypsy taxi license outside cities. Regulated prostitution red light districts in cities over 250k population, cameras everywhere and education in prisons

1. infrastructure, science and r&d like we did during the 50's, 60's and 70's is a very good idea. Shouldn't be one act but a long term sorting of the best idea's and investing in them.

2. Nah, opinions and freedom of speech should be free!

3. Reform college and education. Good idea
4. I wouldn't make the taxes more harsh then a equal percentage on all classes per dollar
5. Damn straight...Legalize pot and create more freedom without being afraid of going to prison!

This may be obvious but I believe every child should be given the opportunity to explore their world and not be confined to a chair for their first few years of formal education. From age four to age six or even eight the classroom ought be their physical environment, to be seen, touched, tasted, smelled (within reason for safety concerns) and contemplated.

Let the child explore and let the teacher forego, "sit still, be quite, don't touch" and teachers should encourage questions such as, "What's that" and "how come". It seems to me our efforts to control natural curiosity makes learning a choir and not fun.
