Why it's unlikely I'll be President of the USA
« on: May 07, 2008, 02:15:54 AM »
Jacques-Yves Cousteau once said, when asked what it would take to effect a transformation in the world, specifically for industries to stop polluting the planet, His reply paraphrased: "Only a benevolent green dictator could effect the necessary changes."

The following could be thought of as my platform for the office of President of the United States. Not to worry, as you read you'll see why it's highly unlikely that anyone would ask me.
  • I would require three camera operators with me 24/7. They would record what I say, and what another says when they are with me. I.e. One camera on my face, another on the face of the person(s) I'm talking with, and a third camera recording the whole scene. The videos would stream live on a PBS type station. A team of operators would stand by to record feedback for our conversation.
  • Zero population growth for Hawaii until self sustainability has been reached and sustained for ten years in a row. This includes an immigration law—one in, one out. A strict moratorium on new construction. All it takes is an intention to have Hawaii be self-sustainable, requiring no oil or food from elsewhere.
  • A State could accept immigrants providing the Governor of the state can state that they have not had any homeless or hungry people in their state for the last year.
  • Once an area has been inundated by a force of nature, (i.e. Kapoho, hurricane
     Katrina) no future reimbursements will be granted property owners in that area. In other words, the government would not rebuild the levies.
  • The U.S. would either withdraw its membership to the United Nations or immediately honor its dues debt. If a leader, the President of the United States, condones breaking financial agreements he/she automatically grants permission to the populace to not honor agreements.
  • All subsidies to tobacco farmers would cease.
  • Advertising by the pharmaceutical companies would be banned the same as hard liquor ads.
  • Subsidies would be granted for advertising wholistic health solutions.
  • The federal government would fund a mandatory Leadership Training Program for all education, mental-health, and political science majors. The Training would require graduates to have attended one three-hour support group every other week for all four years. To graduate a student must have fellow classmates state that they would trust their child with them.
  • All references to God or religion will be removed from government structures and communications.
  • All new buildings must be no higher than what the tallest fire truck ladder can reach.
  • Complete free health care for everyone.
