1. Establish my permanent rule.
Nobody should leave the door this wide open and not expect me to come in.

5. Every Thursday, all radio stations, regardless of format, are mandated by law...
...to play Black Sabbath blocks. And not just the hits either, but also deep cuts.

7. Bring back BEOG grants...
Actually, that's only half of it. ANY American citizen who can get accepted into 4 year college or university based on either academic or performing arts qualifications (NOT SPORTS!!!) gets a 50% FIVE-YEAR scholarship to the most expensive university that they can get into. AND can take that 50% scholarship and apply it any other less expensive school, including a community college OR TRADE SCHOOL that they can get into, for up to 100% scholarship including room, board, books and fees (any extra after that must be returned.)

Any American citizen who can get into graduate school on unconditional admittance in any field of science/medicine/engineering gets a full fellowship. Any American citizen who goes into the field of medicine and passes their medical exams gets free malpractice insurance for the first 5 years, as long as at least 50% of their patients are considered "low income".

Goodness, what an effect this would have...

No American parent would ever have to worry about tuition again, as long as the kid got decent grades. No American citizen would ever have to scramble to find the money to go back to college, if they hadn't gone in the beginning, as long as they could get themselves admitted later on.

Can you imagine what our nation would be like if doctors didn't have to pay back student loans, or worry about malpractice insurance for the first five years???? It might not fix the prescription drug problem, but seeing a specialist would get a heckuva lot easier!


Heck, maybe it would become socially acceptable to show intelligence again! (Squash the Bart Simpson mediocrity mentality!)

24. Just some girl I dated a dozen years ago
Named Tammy and born on August 25

But lord knows, I'm not that picky. In the song, it is 'you' and I would have gone with that, but the OP claims to be male, and that just would not work, not only because I am homosexually-challenged, but also because you never know the other person's orientation.

But they are such ostentatious status symbols. Who wouldn't want to pimp their ride with those neat lights?

17. Free Healthcare.
And all politicians must spend a month each year living in public housing with food stamps.

19. everyone is automatically sterilized after one child, no exceptions, male and female alike EOM
Edited on Mon May-14-07 09:57 PM by pitohui
this world where only intelligent, educated, thoughtful, good people control their numbers, so that stupid, ignorant, uncaring, and hateful people out breed them more and more, creates an untenable situation that is killing democracy and the planet

democracy becomes impossible and foolish in a world where the stupid and the hating vastly outnumber the bright and the caring

it should be stopped before it's too late but i suppose it won't be, no one has the political courage to say that stupid people shouldn't be allowed to breed

30. That the entire Bush family, including the most remote of relatives


be exiled to Greenland, and that all recorded history of them, including likenesses in all forms of media be stricken from record, and that it would be against the law to even mention any of them in any form in any public place.
