My Presidential Platform Pt 1

The following post was an email I had sent out February 23rd of this year, and since then the government has decided to listen to 2 of those points. Mere coincidence, sure, why not? And while I may not agree with the way the government is going about #5, its still "coincidence".

1) Legalize marijuana. The government can tax it, sell a 6 pack of joints for 60-100 dollars and make money. Still make it illegal to grow, and illegal to smoke and drive. Like liquor, it can only be smoked in coffee shops (creating jobs) and in your own home. Set the limit to an ounce.

2) Let free first time possession of marijuana offenders. It'll free up space in our prisons, and cost less for taxpayers, and after all, that's who we care about.

3) Guns for Funds. Have people bring in their guns and get money in return. This will take guns off the streets and at no time are we saying you shouldn't have one, we are just saying that if you want money give us your arsenal.

4) No Guns for Kids. After finding out an 11 year old shot his step mom with a child's model shot gun there should be something done. I just think that if we are going to concern ourselves with tobacco marketing towards kids, and whether or not Captain Crunch is trying to make our kids obese, here is an industry which makes weapons for in children sizes. It just reminds me of the old Willy Wonka where Mike TV talks about his Colt 45 and says he has to wait till he's older to get a real one and his dad replies "Not till your 12 son". Maybe if Mr. TV knew that they made it in Mike's size, then he could really have one and then had some fun at the Chocolate Factory.

5) More funds for teachers and police. Lets face it, crime is going to get worse as the economy does. We need to educate more children so they too will realize what exactly a bachelors degree in philosophy or archaeology will get them.
