Absolute government control of my children through the Public School System. I don't want to choose the school they go to, the bureaucrats in Washington are far more qualified to do that for me. I appreciate the liberal elite putting their kids in private school, to make room for mine in the public system. And since the teachers are doing such a wonderful job in the public schools, I don't want them performance tested -- just raise my taxes and pay them more, like the teacher's union wants. 2. Absolute government control of what people make in wages and salaries. Life is unfair, and why should I be penalized for not staying in school, having babies to early, serial marriages, etc. Make those people who do work and did stay in school share. I am a victim. 3. Stop all oil exploration. The moose and the mice are all important to me, as are the salamander, the spotted owl, and all the fish in the sea, I don't want to risk any pollution whatsoever, so I'm willing to ride my bicycle, understanding of course that the politicians must still be allowed to ride in limo's and burn jet fuel, to spread the word to other nations about what I believe. 4. Confiscate all firearms. People are far past violence and mayhem now, we're all just one happy family, so I'll gladly give them up. And I have no fear of my government at all, they always know what is in my best interest, and I will gladly go along with any edicts they demand with good cheer. 5. Outright ban SUVs and ATVs and watercraft (except sailboats with no head (toilet) or engine. They pollute too much, and I don't like them anyway. Raise gasoline taxes (75%) to the "European Model," as Algore advocates in his book, "Earth in the Balance." It'll make me think twice before driving anywhere and polluting the pristine environment. 6. Having the 2/3rds of the western US that is simple Bureau of Land Management Land now (land I can use presently to hunt, fish, camp, without fees, etc.) declared National Monuments, so nobody can go in except on cleared roads with prior approval and a Forest Ranger or some other designated person who can properly keep me from harming the environment as long as I pay whatever fee deemed fit. Better yet, I'll just buy pictures -- can't get there on a bicycle anyway. 7. I want the trial lawyers to be able to sue me, my family, my company, my friends, without any recourse whatsoever, even if their suit is proven false or malicious. After all, I like lawyers, they don't make enough money, and they've helped my man get elected. I know the Tort Reform Bill that AL Gore got a total of $800,000 from the lawyers to have Bill veto would've given me the right to defend myself and sue them, but again, I like lawyers, they'd never do anything against my interests. 8. I want to give more of my check to the union. The advertising spots on TV against Bush cost an average of $800,000 a piece, and I think it's money well spent. My dues are to low, and I want the union bosses to have even more money to spend, as I don't need it anyway. 9. I just like AL Gore. He's a truthful person. He's a person I'd like my kid to be just like. He's a person I'd really like to hang out with and get to know. He's my kind of guy! These are the reasons I'm voting for AL Gore. Here's 3 more (By What's Up): 1. Transgress all campaign finance laws. I like Al Gore because he set the example for political fundraising. I like the idea of the highest-level politicians in our country not having to go out and work to raise funds. I like Al Gore's way...just pick up the phone in the White House and call as many fat-cats and get as many $100,000 checks as possible from them. Better yet, call the foreign fat-cats...Americans are selfish to want the US political system to themselves...I say the more foreigners in on the process the better. 2. Nationalize our health care system. I'm thinking the US should be as uninspiring as Canada and Britain in their abilities to come up with new medicines and treatments. I agree that Al Gore should appoint Hillary Clinton to be in charge of 1/8 of our economy and she should decide what disciplines of medicine the specialists should practice instead of leaving it up to the individual practitioner. And she should plan it all in secret, too, like she did in '92. 3. U.S. Peacekeeping in every country in the world. Al Gore's vision for peacekeeping is visionary. The American soldiers in Bosnia who sit in their tents all day and play video games have spearheaded a brilliant plan for America's military in the 21st century. Even though they are not accomplishing anything for America they are wonderful examples of globalization for the whole world to see. And if we get our young men/women in more countries, we might even be able to jack the bottom tax bracket up to 75% or so to pay for it. Boo to Bush who wants to bring our young folks home just so he can improve the morale of our military and send a message that countries should take care of their own security. -> To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___________________________________________________________ T O P I C A http://www.topica.com/t/17 Newsletters, Tips and Discussions on Your Favorite Topics
