Imaging you actually had some power to affect a change in the world, your country, or community; what would you do?

Here's things I'd do:

-Free electricity and gas or the elderly, or those who are permanently disabled

-Free Tampax and sanitary towels. I mean, if you had no money what are you supposed to do, use newspapers and rags?

-Make all children learn at least one other foreign language other than just English.

-Bring back youth centres, where they can mix and do activities together. Where I'm from, they've closed down quite a few. Subsequently, you hear stories about underage drinking out on the streets, about hoodies and about childhood obesity cause they just sit on their arse all day long watching TV and playing with Playstation and Sega - do the math....

All contraception to be free and over the counter, or free for those who can't afford it. The pill is free for anyone and any age, and so is the diagphram. But you have to pay for condoms.

10 years in prison for first time offenders who molest children, with intensive, extensive counselling and rehabilitation being mandatory for these people...

    Free contraception, including condoms. Free drinking water. More food banks. More homeless shelters. Better education.
    THANK YOU, LOSTDAWG!

    damn straight on the sanitary pad issue, and yeah, women used to use rags, sew them together

    also, where are you from that the pill is free? that's pretty awsome

    and 10 years is too short, keep those bastards locked up, in general population

    I would make everyone a skeptic.
    I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

    How about things I Do to affect change in a positive way:

    I volunteer with a local environmental agency that focuses on being carbon neutral/sustainability/oceans and fisheries.

    I sit on a board that helps downtown Vancouver Eastside sex trade workers exit.

    I try to shop locally & eat less meat.

    I take mass transit.

    Oh and I now shower regularily, so, like a lot of people in my community benefit from less stink.

    make education fun and college less expensive.....nothing free though.... make people earn what they get if they can....free things belong to those who cannot make it through illiness or aflection not those who will not make it..make it equals a living ... and if you are able you can make it

    Having a shower is hardly making a statement to make a change in the world. You are doing people are favor by not having them endure you stench and BO now :D

    strip war-making powers from congress and the president and force it to be a national referendum every time. anyone voting for the war is entered into a lottery and has to enlist in the military. then we'll see how "necessary" these wars the hawks insist upon really are.

    flat tax rate. government gets a fund and spends in accordance with the prior year's tax take, not a cent more. work out a system of user and luxury taxes to slowly replace or at least massively reduce income taxes. shift this burden to the states and downsize federal government.

    change term lengths... 10 years for the senate, 6 for president, 3-4 for representatives. NO incumbents. you can only be elected once.

    id benefit pretty much everybody in the world....you should research it. The Federal reserve charges interest to the american government on their own money which they are now forced to borrow. This is why the illegal income was set up, to cover this interest. The world bank and IMF stop 3rd world countries which are getting their independence by giving corrupt politicians large loans which in tern corrupts these countries. Look at pretty much every african nation. If it were not for these loans many african nations, would have complete independence. If you really want to know the truth behind these corporations (and yes that is what they are) read the book The Creature from Jekyll Island, and then research it. It will open your eyes.

    I'm not sure whether to laugh at you, or pat you on the back. I think your ideas on taxation and smaller government are pristene though.

    why the laughter then? is something ive said foolish? i think you'd be surprised at some of the ideas ive got. including overturning roe v wade, despite being pro-choice. can your mind reconcile that? im all for people determining their lives for themselves.

    Abolish the Electoral College, and put in force the popular vote to make election decisions; a true democracy.

    Teach the world the beauty and true blessing a child or individual can be who has Down syndrome or any other disability. Yes, they have challenges, but in many ways these people are better than us "normal" folk. Society in general, doesn't give these kids a chance, but I'd turn that around (I just need a lot of help, especially with the media and medical profession.)
