though it would take a lot of balls and planning to make it work, the first thing i would do would be put all the parasites out to pasture for a few months on half pay or less...throw th power back on the locals and see what people do with a REAL people's government. of course someone would have to make sure the BUTTON didn't get pushed...how about bringing home ALL the troops??

i wonder what people would think if we just left the rest of the world to THEIR own devices?

one huge problem any president has at this stage in history is the military-industrial monster...which has grown so large that if we don't keep feeding it we could all be blown up by the bombs we don't know how to handle, the waste that's sitting around, etc...plus imagine what the military would do if we cancelled their contracts - i mean, they have the firepower in their control...would they just say f that and take over?

Your ideas are not naive. The only thing is I think perhaps a gradual handing over of people power would be better and thats why I would suggest the people assist the government. To begin with the changes need to occur at basic, core level and that to me is the education and schooling we receive. You want to change people's opinions on war or make them aware of international affairs so that they don't have a biased opinion of their own country.... start educating them. So many crimes are committed when people feel oppressed in some way. That could be socially, morally, physically, economically,psychologically, and it all needs to be attended to and the best way to start in my opinion is with the most recent generation being taught in schools.

as for gradual change i think pluto in capricorn is going to put us in a pressure cooker, especially when uranus goes into aries. not sure how much discussion will happen before the 2nd american revolution (our pluto return!)

Which is why I think an assited government would be better, that way people get to influence the changes and share the power whilst the current leadership (still respected by the military) gradually reduces it's power by reducing it's numbers and engaging in talks and friendly communications with other countries. I think a new world order is in need, not a one currency, one government type but one in which all the countries can work together and reap the benefits.

So when is the 2nd American revolution due?

Your space idea sounds plausible, just needs approved and researched.

Wampum is a string of creamy white colored shell beads fashioned from the North Atlantic channeled whelk (Busycotypus canaliculatus) shell, and is traditionally used by Indigenous Americans, First Nations peoples, Native Americans, hobbyists, business people, and traders, who regarded it as a sacred or trade representative of the value of the artist's work. Wampum is also used for engagement, marriage, and betrothal agreements, as well as for ceremony and condolence ceremonies. The creamy white colored shell beads of the whelk symbolized internal energies of peace, harmony, and contentment. Wampum is often confused with Sewant, which symbolized the outside energies of a system. Wampum beads (creamy white colored spiral growth) are made from the channeled whelk shell. Sewant beads (black or dark purple) are made from the Poquahock, commonly known as the quahog, quahaug, or Western North Atlantic hard-shelled clam.

And Azalaksh, I'm disappointed. I see people that I know and like, and think well of, greeting you heartily, as though you were something Good, and here you are being petty and mean to me via fallacious logic. Surely anyone reading this who has two brain cells to rub together knows that just because person A expresses some views that are similar to person B, you can't automatically assume that both parties share all beliefs. For the record, I don't give any credence to Icke's "reptilian" theories, though the man has an amazing lot of good to say otherwise.

First l would get rid of the Federal Reserve Bank with their $1 interest on every $1 loaned to the citizens of the US.

Then l would get rid of Rothschild and stop this "global monetary Unity" insanity.

If I were President, I wouldn't have much of a chance to do anything. The establishment would have me assassinated pretty darned quickly (just as they would Ron Paul). They don't stand for nonconformists in the Oval Office.

well rogue's post brings up a REALLY important point. we all sit around bashing presidents, but look what they are up against. i don't think the best of them has a lot of chances to accomplish anything, what with the faceless and not so faceless mafia who appear to run the world. but some have tried. and i suspect the ones who do best are those, like the lbj's and clinton's among them, who know the game( i am neither endorsing nor blasting either of those men, just recognizing their political savvy). AND THOSE WILLING TO BE CRUCIFIED...

i am hoping that obama is as smart as he looks, because he also could work around the obstacles to get somewhere NEAR WHERE HE WANTS TO GO with this...

out of 44 presidents i think it's 10 who have had attempts on their lives, and 4 who have actually been killed in office. that is 1 in 11 presidents who has stood up tall enough to get themselves shot.

and if you believe in eternal life, whether consecutive or uninterrupted, maybe it would be worth taking the chance.

rogue?? what would you do if you KNEW you would come back/ not be killable??

uhm - free tissues at sad movies. that too.

i would round up illegal immagrants and send them home until the required paperwork is completed to be legal- working - tax paying citezins

i would have off site testing for home schooled children - as i do not think most of them are getting a full rounded education

uhm - what else - my birthday would be a national holiday - ok - i know i already said that - but that is a good one.

legalize and tax marijuanna

float for bloat - i would campaign against monthly bloating and make some kind of treat available for suffering women of all ages

men would be required to give up the remote the first entire week of every month

ok so far looking good.

THE REAL POLITICS OF TERM LIMITS

The only serious opponents of term limits are incumbent politicians and the special interests -- particularly labor unions -- that support them. The specter of term limits creates powerful emotional reactions in opponents, at least two elected legislators (one the chairman of the House Administration Subcommittee on Elections) having publicly compared the term limits movement to Nazism. Such overheated rhetoric indicates both the threat that term limits poses to established special interests and the urgency of the battle for them.

Special interests oppose term limits because they do not want to lose their valuable investments in incumbent legislators. Many are organized to extract programs, subsidies, and regulations from the federal government -- to use the law, in other words, as a lever to benefit their own constituencies or harm their rivals. The zero-sum transfer economy from which skilled lobbyists profit -- as well as their own high-paying jobs -- will be decimated by term limits that force lobbyists to relearn the priorities of new Members and make arguments on the merits, not on the strength of personal connections. The number of groups listed in the Encyclopedia of Associations has quadrupled in the last four decades from fewer than 5,000 in 1956 to over 20,000 today as special interests have taken advantage of legislators' vulnerability to proposals that concentrate benefits but disperse costs. Such growth in lobbies and organizations is anything but a sign of democratic vigor.
