No speed Limits on motorways.
reclassification of certain drugs, and within that change, allow authorities to be more liberal on recreational users.
A change in how the NHS works...if you're ill for some reason, treatment is still free, however, if it is self inflicted (cancer from cigarettes, liver damage from alcohol, neurodegenerative disorders from "other" stuff :p) than you will have to pay for it.
LESS TAX ON MOTORISTS |

What is needed in a country like DR is a fair distribution of social goods such as education and health care, not restrictions on free speech. :rolleyes: |
Any government-controlled distribution of social goods is, by definition, an unfair one. The only question is how many people are inconvenienced. |

I wouldn't want to rule "the world," but if I had a position in power, I would fight to strengthen human rights and environmental protections for our air, water, land, and public health. |
If I ruled the world, I'd put Dave in charge. :) |

Hah!
I'd appoint Occrider my economics advisor, appoint Pio as my advisor for health and human services, and appoint Disco Stew as my advisor on funk!:haha:
I would also work to move the world economy to a hydrogen economy. |

1. Breathalizer system in every vehicle > vehicle won't start unless driver is sober.
2. Education system reform. More emphasis on the arts. Make post-secondary education free for everyone.
3. Abolish all militaries. Divert funding to science and technology, and education.
4. Make gay/lesbian marriage legal worldwide, and all countries must recognize and respect.
5. Classify raves as a peaceful gathering, and make it illegal for police to interfere.
6. Every club must provide free water.
7. Abolish MTV and MuchMusic
8. Abolish the RIAA, and give more power to the artists regarding how their music is distributed.
9. Lower international travel fees.
10. RESPECT laws. Hate crimes, racism, etc. illegal with HARSH consequences. |

Second that. At least put some severe restrictions on it, at the very least make sure it has no involvement with ANY government worlwide.
Outside of this, I don't really know. Outside of maybe strictly enforcing the laws of bed tags, and cutting off the dildos of rapers, I'm open to any suggestions. |

Must be tough being Canadian then, eh?
Man, i come from what is probably the most prosperous Latin American "country" in the world. The only reason our income per capita is well above the rest is that we have been a US colony or "protectorate" for the past 100 years. PR didn't see any economic growth until the commonwealth status was implemented in 1952, along with an extension into the island of FDR's welfare state reforms.
Tax incentives for industrialization, social security, food stamps, Medicare- all of these policies of government-controlled distribution of goods catalyzed the economy, increased the GNP and income per capita, and significantly cut the gap between the rich and the poor. The flow of federal funds into our economy (10 times larger than what is given by the US to Israel) is also a form of govt. distribution of goods, sure. Call that unfair, if you will, call it colonialism-these are the tradeoffs. But at least we have a sound economy, and we don't have 3% of the population owning 95% of the country. Now that's what I call unfair.
Go to a Third World country and hang out with the rich people. Then go out into the streets, the public hospitals and schools without running water or electricity or books or teachers, and then lets talk about fairness. |
