What would you do if you were the Emperor of the United States?

If anyone has any good political or social change ideas that they would initiate if they were the Emperor of the United States, e-mail me at emperorofamerica@hotmail.com. Let me know if you would like me to post your e-mail on this page.  Any and all ideas are welcome.  (even bad ones) 

1 is the loneliest # of licenses you’ll ever do

A Little Illumination

National Fishing License

Fishing licenses are issued by state governments. Each state’s particular regions of land and sea need specialized care and attention if balanced habitats are to be maintained. It makes sense to have fish and wildlife regulations be issued at the state level.

The thing that sucks for avid, traveling fishermen is that in order to cast a line out in a new state, a new license must first be purchased. This can get expensive, especially for those who live right near the border of several states. Just to fish on the other side of many border generating rivers, a new license is usually needed.

I fully agree that fishing laws and regulations should be made on the state level, specific for that particular region, by the people that actually live there. The thing that I don’t get is why a National Fishing License hasn’t been established. After all, we are a union, not a confederation of states.

If I were the Emperor of the United States I would initiate a National Fishing License which allows Americans to fish, according to each states rules and regulations, nationwide.

Alien Roots

 

It is estimated that there are well over 20 million illegal aliens living in the United States today. “Immigration and border control policies” are major issue to millions of Americans deciding on who to vote for on the upcoming presidential election. Each candidate has their own take on what to do with these issues.The illegal alien population in this country is predominantly made up of Mexican immigrants seeking to make money. (Money is pretty much the force behind everything) To them, America is a land of opportunity, where even the American minimum wage equates to several times the pay scales of most jobs in Mexico.

This influx of people creates several problems.

It costs billions of dollars to monitor and secure the 1951 mile border between Mexico and the U.S.

The number one solution to the United States‘ immigration problem with Mexico (that in my opinion seems obvious, yet is almost always over looked) is fixing the corruption problems in the Mexican government.

Mexico could be a potential super power. It’s huge. It’s made up of 1,908,690.00 sq. km of land. Mexico has oil, gold, fishing, farmland, timber, prime beach land for vacationing, beautiful scenery and over a hundred million people that are some of the word’s most creative and hardest workers. Why then, are over a million Mexicans a year leaving their homes, sneaking through aired deserts, and risking being arrested, just to come to America? The answer is corruption. As long as the Mexican government continues to remain corrupt, the average Mexican will remain below the poverty line, and the American government will continue to pay billions of tax dollars on boarder control, deportation, as well as healthcare, education, and numerous other social programs going out to illegal aliens.

“Big Brother is Watching You”

In order to stop the influx of illegal aliens some government officials want to build and monitor a huge fence on the border that would cost taxpayers billions of dollars. Another extremely expensive idea that has been proposed is having unpiloted spy planes continuously swarming around the desert. That would mean that if a person was out hiking around in the middle of the desert and decided to get romantic with their spouse, some immigration officer could be watching the whole thing.

If I were the Emperor of the United States, I would put some serious pressure on the Mexican government to clean up it’s act.  A country as rich in resources as Mexico with approximately 40% of it’s population living below the poverty line, is unacceptable. It puts strain on it’s neighboring countries, which happens to include us.

 

 

“You have the right to be a dumb-ass.”

Currently, 49 states require that seatbelts be worn by adults in vehicles. (New Hampshire is the only exception.) 24 states have “primary” seatbelt enforcement laws, which allow cops to pull over citizens for driving without seatbelts.

Wearing your seatbelt while driving is smart. They’re designed for your safety. Statistics showthat drivers wearing their seatbelts while in traffic accidents are usually better off than those that don’t. Seatbelts save lives.

History shows that governments that attempt to protect their citizens from themselves are corrupt, and have hidden agendas. For example: the German Nazi government bragged to the rest of the world that they were the first “civilized” nation to completely disarm the public of their harmful guns, right before they began slaughtering their citizens by the millions.

I am a firm believer that people should be able to do whatever the hell they want to do as long as they’re not directly infringing on the rights of others. That is what we call “FREEDOM.” Not wearing a seatbelt won’t kill somebody else, it will only kill the dumb-ass that’s not wearing it, and being a dumb-ass should be everyone’s God-given right.

The reason why lawmakers make seatbelt laws isn’t because they love you. For one, it brings in massive revenue. All those millions of minor infractions written up by cops equate to millions of dollars. The reason why many states have passed laws that allow cops to pull over people that “appear” not to have their seatbelts on is that they want to make it easier for cops to pull people over. It’s unconstitutional for the police to detain people without just cause, so lawmakers have intern made bad habits illegal. It’s a slippery slope, and our rights are being written away. Using the logic that they’re trying to push, Twinkies should be illegal since diabetes kills so many people each year. Of coarse, with all the fat-cats running this country, that will never happen.

If I were the Emperor of the United States I would leave it up to people in cars to decide whether or not they want to be dumb-asses or not.  In fact, I would go a step further and make a new constitutional amendment stating that all citizens do indeed have the right to do whatever the hell they want to do as long as they’re not directly infringing on the rights of others.
