How to Fix the Nation Part II
posted September 27, 2009 - 10:46amRecently I made several proposals to save or at least improve the nation. Today I will add some more which may at least wake up a few people so it will be healthier than a cup of black coffee.
- Eliminate the moratorium on oil drilling along our coastlines and everywhere else for that matter. Drilling should be allowed unrestrictedly anywhere it is thought to occur, even in my front yard or the White House lawn.
- Implement a nationwide construction of nuclear power plants, the more the better.
- Relax restrictions on coal fired plants and their production.
- Re-write the “Endangered Species Act, Clean Air Act, and Clean Water Act so that they can’t be used to obfuscate and obstruct construction or otherwise interfere with badly needed projects and agriculture just to save some insignificant snail which is doomed for extinction no matter what we do.
- Impose criminal penalties on Green Peace and other environmental blackmailers or terrorists whenever they move to obstruct legal activities such as logging and construction.
- Declare petroleum to be a strategic commodity and thus closely regulate its trading.
- Ignore or otherwise discredit such feel good environmental initiatives such as the current war on soap and toilet paper that the environmentalist blackmailers are now conducting.
- Move military bases to the southern borders to stop illegal immigration.
- Increase research on cellulosic methanol.
- Repeal state laws preventing the liquidation of state and local governments. This will allow and promote balancing budgets and eliminating deficits since real estate is the only real asset governments actually have which has a marketable value. Furthermore, the results of government land acquisition comes from the famous, “Law of Unintended Consequences”, which creates real estate scarcity thus driving up real property values and taxes.
- Commercialize state and municipal parklands so as to raise revenue by selling off timber stands and other marketable commodities.
- At bare minimum, parks should be leased to private corporations to run on a profit basis.
So there goes another short list of how to fix the country. Like it or not, I couldn’t care less.

Can't agree with all
I believe in protecting endangered species and their habitat. A snail may be insignificant to you but he's as much one of God's creatures as a beautiful peacock.
