If I Were King of the United States

Another Topic du Jour.

We would all live in the projects. There would be no such thing as private houses anymore. All the projects would have the same basic design, structure, materials, etc. The rent would be thirty percent of your income.

Five years of college or a bachelor's degree (whichever comes first) would be mandatory and funded in much the same way as the rest of the public school system. Which would mean that by the SAT/ACT standards of most state universities, there would be none of the functionally illiterate high school graduates that are running around now.

Military service would be mandatory for two years after high school and before college, because a.) you never know when you might need a largish standing army and b.) you value citizenship more when you have to defend it. Pacifists will be given non-combat duties but still expected to serve. People who want to stay in the military will have that option after college.

Voting at the state and national levels would be mandatory. Anyone not voting would be subject to double taxes.

Community service would be mandatory. At least eight hours a month volunteering at any non-profit organization.

Everyone would have Medicaid. To hell with the insurance companies.

...More later. Tomorrow is gonna be a long day and it's way past my bedtime.

Go Figure

So yet again here is this poor, lonely blog floating in cyberspace. I guess Google doesn't believe in euthanasia. Honestly, I wouldn't be posting this if it weren't for a couple of notifications that people are following me.

Huh? Following me? Now I feel like a spy. Or like a poor person walking into an upscale department store.

Anyway.....

For those of you who haven't been continuing your educations, here are a couple of places to check out - because ignorance = FAIL.

Litemind - invaluable for those nifty little ways of improving thought processes themselves and just cool sh*t in general.

Covenspace - myspace for pagans. Sadly, it comes without all the apps, music and other time wasters that bling up the actual myspace. Still, an excellent resource and nice people. Go say hi if that's your thing.

Selfmadescholar.com - many, many FREE resources. From languages to college courses and all kinds of other stuff. Yeah, you don't get a piece of paper saying you learned it, but then again if you don't keep learning stuff, your brain rots.

PrincipiaDiscordia.com - Life is Chaos. Read all about it here.
