King of America

lumberjim · 02-11-2004, 03:14 PM

Ok. You've just been made King (or Queen) of America. You have absolute power. The only restriction placed upon you is that you can only effect one change per month. This change can be anything from a simple law, to an ammendment to the Constitution.

It's January. What will you change this month?

(for you non-Americans, please assume that you now live in america so that we're all talking about the same laws)

No more blue laws -- booze on Sundays!

FileNotFound · 02-11-2004, 03:19 PM

Speed limit on highways: 120
Local Roads(Anything with a #): 100
Residential: 35

Thats it. Thank you.

All directors of information technology will be allowed to purchase those Scottish tawses from over in the spanking thread and use them to whip people who persist in making unreasonable demands. (unreasonable = you're asking at the last minute, it's something we don't support anyway, and even if it were, there's no money in the budget for it.)

[oh yeah, it's been one of those weeks. Can you tell?]

I remove the one-per-month restriction.

lumberjim · 02-11-2004, 03:31 PM

sounds a little kneejerk, steve....maybe you'd like to take more time to consider. If you were King, I doubt you'd have to push your own computer keys anyway. try again.

I would remove one law per month.

lumberjim · 02-11-2004, 04:04 PM

Uh......did you read the previous posts?

welcome aboard, btw.

Armchair-Commander · 02-11-2004, 04:14 PM

Not sure what previous post you are refer to.

And thanks for the welcome.

I've visited this board a couple of times before, as well as others so far this one seems to be a good one. Others are either too conservative or too librial. And show no tollerance for anyother opinion.

I think AC is saying that they would "remove one law per month" - not remove the one change per month rule, which is what I think you think they said.

Armchair-Commander · 02-11-2004, 04:34 PM

I wasn't wishing for more wishes. I was saying to remove 1 law each month. At least until we have a set of laws that 99% of the citizens can comply with, without beating their heads against the wall wondering if they are breaking some law somehow.

FileNotFound · 02-11-2004, 04:46 PM

...well...um.

Which would you start with?

Oh and who said anything about opinions being tolerated here? Not I.
