peelingchrome Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 This started as a PM conversation that piqued my interest. What would you do if you ran the New World Order? What would you change? Better yet, can we (on DGN) come to an agreement on a few basics for righting the world? Here was my original input: Outlawing lobbying and lobbyists Backing currency with gold Outlawing political contributions over $100 Deregulating guns Abolishing the war on drugs Abolishing victimless crimes Hiring someone with a clue to rewrite the tax code Whaddaya think? I feel like I'm forgetting something, but it's near the start of my day today so I'm not as clear headed as I'd like to be.

I may have added that we really need to do something about the environment and uhmmm...save the animals and stuff. I always thought it was stupid to have victimless crimes be against the law, imo, same with drugs.
Rev.Reverence Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I would be the 'Shaman'... a moralistic 'HEART' in the Cabinet of Rulers... ..you know... so we don't go all fascist...
peelingchrome Posted October 6, 2008 Author Posted October 6, 2008 What about instituting federal grants for alternative energy research? I don't like the idea that a large, remote federal government has any control over my life to begin with, so I'd like to leave freedom of choice to the people if I were a part of this. I think that by offering grants, it gives incentive to do good, but doesn't force anyone to do anything they don't want to.
Rev.Reverence Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I site the Tribal societies that have a Chief & a Priest/Shaman...as well as a Council of Elders...

peelingchrome Posted October 6, 2008 Author Posted October 6, 2008 I site the Tribal societies that have a Chief & a Priest/Shaman...as well as a Council of Elders... That's another good point: how would you organize the power structure? What checks and balances would you put in place?

Hellion Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I have many ideas,here are a few starters 1.rid this planet of all stupid,violent,asshole people that would be a dramatic drop in population. 2.get rid of all corrupt CEOs,polititions,lobbyists 3. eliminate any form of immoral technology that could be used against people,example,the RFID Chip everyone deserves their privacy. 4. in the U.S. the electoral college. 4.
Simon Bar Sinister Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 One of the first things I'd do is ban (or severely curtail) all commercial fishing/whaling in the oceans for 5-10 years. Pay the fleets to stay in port.

Rev.Reverence Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 You know what? My first actions as ruler of the world.... Take lots of money, move to a remote island with friends and loved ones with an undisclosed location, RESIGN ...more corruption...I always knew we could not trust you Kthulu people...
phee Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 ...more corruption...I always knew we could not trust you Kthulu people... Actually you can trust me... I have given you an honest answer....

peelingchrome Posted October 7, 2008 Author Posted October 7, 2008 What about privatizing things like welfare and social security? I've long held a firm belief that people should take more responsibility for their lives, including getting/keeping a job and saving for their own damn retirement.
Rev.Reverence Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I would be much happier with people if they were all that honest... Take you.... that can mean a lot of things.... ...if everybody was SO honest...we would not want for Utopia...
phee Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 ...if everybody was SO honest...we would not want for Utopia... One mans Utopia is another mans *insert scary/gross/abhorent statement here* I don't want Utopia... I just want to get the hell away with what I care about and be at piece
Goth Brooks Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 ...no..you can only haz a percentage... fine, i want the percentage that are sexy. the world can have the ugly ones.
TitsMcGee Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Everyone must take an IQ test before being allowed to breed..or in the very least something simple that shows they're not completely stupid. People who commit violence on other humans will be shot on site.
