If there was one law you could change.. (wages, drug, military)

[Oakback]

For me, the fundamental question is;
Can we legislate morality? And if so, who's morality?
Or do we ask, are we all collectivley responsible for the actions of all?
Or do we all pay for the consequences of our own actions?

Seems this is what politics will be for ever asking.

Oh yea What law

Free tee times to all men over fifty

Alcohol and nicotine treated like the addictive drugs that they are with same penalties in place for use, dealing, and manufacture as other dangerous addictive drugs (such as heroin, opium, narcotics).

You would really place alcohol in the same category as heroin and opium? Or crack and meth? I mean, I'm able to have a glass of wine with dinner or the occassional Saturday afternoon beer without destroying my life. I've known a few total alcoholics, so I see how it can destroy a life. But for most people, it doesn't have that effect.

I would like to be able to drink a beer while I'm laying out on the little beach area on the south side of the Tennessee River. It's legal on the north side, but not on the south.

I would tax all churches.

You can get married without a church, people do it everyday.
But you can't get married without a license issued by the government.

Send your complaints to Washington.

I'm all for that too!! If it means I can send my special needs child to catholic school and receive speech and occupational therapy services from the state like he gets from the public schools.

There needs to be a federal law against any earmarks/pork attached to any legislation/spending bill except in time of war.

[chielgirl]

It would be up to the catholics at that point. What they do in their schools is their business. Any income and all property would just be taxed.

Private schools are just that.

Law? I would remove the Patriot Act.

I'd like an amendment to force a balanced budget.
