Fantasy question

If you could be world dictator for a year, what would be your main agenda ? Would you address oil dependence, world hunger, Iraq, aids, fund World War Two museums, research aging and memory loss, homes for wayward girls, anything you could do in a year to the whole planet for better or worse.

 

Fantastic Question! I would focus on funding on the education and health of our youth. They are the future and starting with them as seeds would blossom into something great for the future of the country and its people.

 

The time I mapped out what to do it would be time up

If two years may be able to do something

 

I'd start by taxing air travel to reflect the level of environmental damage done. I'm not saying that people shouldn't travel - but cheap travel is not a God-given right.

I'd like to encourage Governments not to interfere with other countries - but I have no idea how that could be achieved.

Oh - and anyone daring to demolish a derelict WWII airfield building, or planning to build Monopoly houses all over historic places such as North Weald - would be dragged out into the street and shot.

 

a Velodrome in every known captial of every country in the world. Ride for peace baby' besides the increased health issues and no fat people, the local governments can work their issues out in friendly competition without blowing their brians out on the streets, though I would enforce a very strict security system upon entering the wooden floor-boards............NO blades NO bows, etc.

 

You gents don't even wanna know...
Though a harem immediately comes to mind...



(busy as SH*T last week or so, hence no reading or posting time for me)

 

" A chicken in every pot".

That's a lot of chickens

 

First empty all the prisons. Don't know how big the hole would be, but it needs doing.

I like the home for wayward girls, maybe next door?

A moritorium on development of housing projects, which would stop the cookie-cutter homes being put over historic locations and farm land.

Effective public transportation to eliminate the need for private automobiles.

Eliminate the use of petro-chemicals in the production of anything that is disposable, and other measures to eliminate the need for petroleum use on a large scale.

Develop a medical technology that would allow an easily reversable permanent birth control to be implanted in infancy. In order to get it reversed the person would have to be determined enough to have children to raise the money and have the procedure reversed before reproducing.

 

Good stuff for the most part. Crazy is not going to married very long with that attitude.
I like Icemans last paragraph the best. Too many people running loose on the planet causing too many problems. And with the atitude that it is the government's responsibility to feed and house them.

 

...and a total ban on Avian 'Flu....?

 

Hmmmmmmm. Never thought of that. Old campaign slogan from the depression I think. Could cause some serious problems. We all should hope I'm never in a position to try anything like that on a global scale.

Later

 

So that's a Opps I take it


OK I would scrap all this cheerful tasteless Beer and so we can all drink the good stuff at a good value price. And raise TAX on crap books and for the History/Military books no tax and yes cheaper price.

And lock up bad guys (ALL OF THEM)

 

Anyone who starts a war, fights it ...by themselves!
Bring back dueling. Deliberate groundless attempts at aquiring a (PHONEY)"duel" will be punished by death. Serious applicants only!
If you have a beef with someone, slap him/her across the face with a glove then they take it from you and throw it down. They get choice of weapons, and it's to the death. No substitutions! (ringers)
People would think harder(twice) as to whether or not little s_it is worth dying for.
This would free up courts for more important matters, (instead of racism, sexual harrasment, and other easily offended nothings).
Almost immediately there would be little or no need for laywers, (instead of 1" thick in every cities yellow pages).
Affordable health care/presciptions, same for everyone.
Cut the wage of every Politician in half. Cut the number of Politicians in half. No perks!
One absentee from a vote is acceptable, two you better be dying, three you are removed and immediately replaced by whomever you ran against, no pension.
No lobbiests, gifts, pay-offs, diplomatic immunity!
Your political pension is equal (year by year) to time served in office, not for life!
Take the money out of politics, and the criminals will go somewhere else.
Copied from others:
Make public transportation the only personal transportation. (except Harleys!)
Get rid of cheap BEER!
Get a license to have children!
Change the entire world to Solar power. (I heard one solar collector the size of the state of Nevada would power the United States) I say go for it, what's in Neveda anyway?
No more welfare, have mothers with children babysit other mothers children while they go to work.
People who say they either have no skills, or can't find a job... get to dust off the solar collector in Nevada. No free moneyThat ought to motivate them!

 

Get us off the planet. If we can go elsewhere we can ship each batch of miscreants and odd balls to their own version of heaven or hell. It'd solve on heck of alot of problems for those that remain.

 

Priceless, laughed my butt off.

Finite number of spots in prisons. When they fill up, the first prisoner is taken out and put out of society's misery to make room for the most recent arrival.

 

I'm with Martin in making it a hanging offence to harm, alter, deface or remove ANY artefact/structure from WW2.
And while we're at it, I'd ban pressure groups, Social Workers, fitness fanatics (sorry Erich!), teetotallers, non-smokers, vegetarians, "environmentalists", fair-trade Luddites and pretentious b*%%@'>s generally. Not that I'm bitter, or anything.....

 

That’s sounds radical Gordon.

Also I like to see 50% tax on all fat foods and a reduction in price on all healthy foods.

 

Put Tony Blair in a zoo

 

Gordon, what about the B.M.A?
