Yay. This is my first post.

Actually, I was thinking about how, if I could create any sort of government I could, what I would do. I'm thinking about trying to work it out fully, but here's some random rules I came up with. This is mostly based off the US government.


1. All government established bureaucracies must have their bosses voted in by the electorate. This is to limit their power.
2. There shall be a non-partisan group maintaining a website containing all information about presidential candidates that people could want, down to the color of their underwear. Haven't figured out how to do that one yet. I know I'd have way too much fun with the character assassinations.
3. Only people who have served in the military shall vote. However, not all of them have to serve in stereotypically military ways. *hearts* Heinlein.
4. Policemen shall not be as well armored as the fucking Army. Anything needs that much firepower, they can call in the Army.
5. No politician shall serve in high offices for more than ten years.
6. The right to bear arms shall not be infringed in any way whatsoever. No carry permits even. Just a 1 minutes or less background check to make sure they haven't committed a felony. In fact...
7. How to use a gun shall be taught in school. A well armed populace is the best way to remind a government not to fuck around too much.
8. Speed limits shall be renamed minimum speed, and slow drivers shall be ticketed. So shall people exceeding 15 miles above the speed limits.
9. If you have Alzheimers, your drivers license is pulled.
10. Any sort of discrimination except on the basis of personality and ability will not be allowed within the government. This includes affirmative action. In private life, laws about discrimination shall only be passed if things start getting out of control. Think lynchings, not oversensitive idiots claiming their offended.
10. Repeat rapists and child molesters will be castrated. A murderer who has killed more than two people will be executed.
11. Drugs shall be made legal, but no drug users will be hired into governmental positions. Drug usage will be an instantly fireable offense, even for elected officials.
12. Government stays out of marriage entirely, until there are kids. At which point... Fuck, this is complicated. Come back to this.
13. After 1000 federal laws have been created, each time a law is passed, another law must repealed. Each state can have 750 laws.
14. All laws must be written in language understandable by the average 10th grader.
15. See Fairtax.org for the system of taxation used. Speaking of which, income tax would be made illegal.
16. Two house system. Keep Senate and House of Representatives.

Okay, I don't feel like writing any more. Besides, need to start dinner. Yay for prosciutto wrapped chicken stuffed with mozzarella and basil. Yummy.
