How to tame the government? Audit the bastards individually into jail for punitive damages in a public class action personal lawsuit for breach of contract with the electorate. NO IMMUNITY FOR ANYONE, EVER, under pain of justifiable rioting in the streets and rending by the mob. Anarchy? Not possible in a free press society, only publicly vigilant justice, undeniable in the end. It is understandable that policies must change over time when justified by circumstances. Promises must be made with care. Elections must be fought over issues and policies. "Good Government" excludes excessive, patronistic, negligent, wasteful, corrupt, intrusive government. A gun database should cost each consumer taxpayer about 5 bucks, not 500 million stolen from those who can't afford a gun. Consider the registration program for tires; a scannable warranty registration and transfer form should be included with every "dangerous" item sold, but not touted as anything more than a safety recall item, administered by mfgrs, paid for in the purchase price. These days, the registration info could be instantly available for any policeman stupid enough to trust such recordskeeping with their lives before approaching a dwelling, or to see if an individual is in possession of any stolen item. Rules won't stop criminals, but their fruits may apprehend them. Government regulators of individuals' daily lives must stop. Jail perpetrators of violence whatever means they use, guns are no different than rocks or fists in this regard. Violence or threats against nuns, homosexuals, sales clerks, women or men is all the same, regardless of tools employed. Boats must include safety guideline references, which must be obeyed under pain of liability, license or no. Licenses are stupid and wasteful, a means to collect taxes from commercial users of private, citizen's property like highways, at best. Administering licenses is wasteful. Regulations must be obeyed wether you have a license or not. Corporations do not, must not ever have rights superior to human beings. The question of identity is another matter. Everyone must provide their name if asked for cause. Anonymous pronouncements of "Fire!" in theatres and elswhere is immoral, wrong. People are responsible for what they say, evey time, unless forgiven by victims. If I want to kill myself with a car or whatever, there is no way to stop me, nor should any attempt be made to try. Educate against drug abuse, and assist addicts to live normal lives with substitutes for illegal drugs as a medical treatment. Outlaw patents on biological products, unless created from scratch by non biological means. Only God has the copyright for life. If a child cannot survive it's first week by the breast alone, it should be considered moribund and allowed to progress normally, except for specific treatments. No extreme medical procedures for those under or over an age calculated to perpetuate the viability of the tax supported basic medical service, considering the eventuality of lifetime cost benefits. Contributory private plans must be permitted, but participating medical personnel must have a quota beyond which they may not divert medical resources from basic life supporting essentials to superfluous procedures such as personal enhancements, unless their education was paid completely by private means. Oh, I could go on, but if you haven't got the picture by now, telling you that if there is no complaint, there is no crime, would be pointless. I'm all for government support of fair weights and measures, product purity, public safety regulation of commercial use of the citizen's highways, free public and college education for merit, medicare, which must include familial hospice expense deductions, defense, and free legal support in every case where the government employs a lawyer at my tax paid expense to accuse me of anything. I should get to choose the lawyer, who must be required to provide a set percentage of such government funded work. Freedom of religion includes the right to declare and change any day I choose as my sabbath without penalty. They presently take about 50% off the top overall includin mfgr taxes, UI, comp, pension deductions, etc, and that doesn't include VAT, HST, Gas tax, etc, etc. I want my money's worth first and lower taxes too. Convicts must earn their food and mattress in jail, and qualify via behavoir for educational benefits, especially convicted politicians. Audit the bastards! I want to know where evey damned tax dollar goes, after all, it's mine, not theirs! Terry K Lui wrote: > > OK, so we're being "screwed" by our government?
