Fixing the US part2: Law

Its midnight and you find your self stuck at a red light in the middle of a hibernating city with a bad case of bubbles guys while a 24 hour gas station's open sign tease you as repetitively flickers like bug zapper during mosquito season. As you impatiently wait for the light to change you notice there's no cars on the road other than your own, so you gun it and run the red light.... F*** IT, YOU PAY YOUR TAXES!!!! Thats when you notice the red and blue lights flashing behind you.... DAMN!!! I guarantee 9 out 10 people caught in this scenario has tried to talk his or her self out of the ticket which brings me to my topic for the night.... LAW

I say if you can't do the time, don't do the crime, and in addition, penalties should be more severe. What's the point of establishing a form of LAW if its useless? For instance... you see that spineless parent in the middle of the snack section and there 3 year son is on the floor throwing a major tantrum kicking and screaming like he was just circumcised because he wants a box of Lil Debbies' Cosmic Brownies, and the parent warns him with empties threatens shortly before caving in and giving the 3 year old the desired box of Cosmic Brownies. A box of Cosmic Brownies every now and then will not hurt any body, but what exactly is the parent teaching the child!? Throwing a fit will get you what you want, there is no repercussion in his actions or both!

IF YOU'RE ASKING ME HOW DOES THIS ALL PERTAIN TO THE US AND ITS LAWS, I'M GLAD YOU ASKING BECAUSE I'M ABOUT TO TELL YOU!

My point is that the system is broken. Just minutes earlier I was driving the speed limit on the freeway, and some moron was behind me hooking his horn, waving his hands in a non polite manner and tailgating me crap out of me. For a short moment I had a flash in my head to slam on the breaks, but it quickly passed and I just continued to abide by the law by going the speed limit. I knew every minute that passed p!ssed him off even more. Its pretty sad that if you're going the speed limit, you're expected to be in the slow lane, and if that doesn't bother you or you don't see any wrong in that you're not alone; thus, there is something extremely wrong with the system. It is so broken, there is a rule that highway patrol officer on duty must be in plan sight. WTF is that!? I say that Police cars should be painted in Camouflage or even better giving a huge "ghillie suit."

You're probably thinking... That's entrapment! DAMN RIGHT IT IS!!!! You shouldn't of been speeding in the first place! I would go as far as placing traffic cameras on every mile of the free way, corners of every block, and any place possibly imaginable.
WHY!!? Because,
how many times have you seen dozens of cars speed excessively over the speed limit slam on their breaks because they see a High Patrol car, and then speed back up once they feel they are in a safe range. You know how dangerous that is!? Well then... Answer me this, "why does it take for us, society, to be watched for us to do right?" And that goes back to that parent in Walmart, if we don't install rules, discipline, compassion, and respect in our children, our future generation will be governed by lawlessness. Why follow the rules if there is no repercussions or the disciplinary actions are simple and painless!?

THAT'S IT... I'M TAKING YOUR XBOX AWAY... OR THE CELLPHONE... OR WHATEVER ELSE!

Then after the kid has a meltdown, the parent feels like an completely @sswhole, and gives the item back an hour later. Keep following along, I'm building up my points because I think this type of thought pattern creates a bigger problem. In addition, there are also parents that fight against the system too. Having the luxury of being a school district employee, I've seen it all. The disciplinary system for schools is just as broken as the federal laws, and a lot of it is due to us... SOCIETY.

Say for instance.... Child A is sent to principal's office after cussing out his 3rd period math teacher, and between you and me, there's not much a principal can truly do to Child A. The norm is in school suspension for the simple fact that the school district doesn't get paid for empty seats; however, in addition to my point, some parents have the adacity to come to the school and cuss out the principal saying, "My child doesn't use that langauge!" instead of trying to help fix the problem, and some will go as far as taking it to the district superintend claiming that their child is being treated unfairly. What does that kid learn? The system can be beaten! To tell you the true fully, I hear 6 graders and up cussing on the daily, so keep that in mind if you have kids.

Now to get to my point in all of this, I believe we should bring the iron fist back into law. You're either guilty or not guilty.... No loops holes... No grey areas, just black and white, even for people of fame, fortune, and especially for politicians, police officers, teachers, government employees and other people of power. Because they are placed in a position of power, they should be held to the highest standard, and once found guilty of a crime they should receive the maximum punishment regardless of their crimes severity. People need to be held accountable.

In addition, our laws are lackadaisical, and its almost a holiday for a person to go to jail/prison especially once they are institutionalized. The harshness of prison isn't the prison itself, its the other prisoners in it, you have to worry about. The rights of a prisoner is bonkers. I've seen TV documentaries where inmates have the audacity to demand cable in their cell. Did they forget they are in prison, and that their action got them their? Everyday we, tax payers, pay to feed over 2.5 million prisoners 3 times a day, we provide them with living quarters, electricity, weights and cable among other things. These prisoners have it better than my working class @ss has it anyday and all they have to worry about is which gang they're going to join. I agree that they need to eat and be treated properly, but I feel they should have to work a job everyday to pay for it.

AT THIS POINT YOU PROBABLY WANT TO SHANK ME WITH A SHARPEN END OF A TOOTHBRUSH... HUH!!!?

And that's why I'd create a Maximum security "Super Prison" in the Death valley or some other extreme and remote environment with tiers of comfort ranging from an indoor room with A/C to an outdoor cell similar to Yuma's Territorial Prison, and comfort would be earn with good behaviors. If a inmate wants to act like an animal they could live like one. Within this super prison, I would create work areas also with a tier system too. The work environments would range from working in a factory manufacturing goods to Working out side breaking rocks. Inmates with good behavior would be allowed to work in the factories performing a more skilled full job thus they would earn more money too. It also provides them with a reason to behave. Teach them a skill, rehabilitate them so when they get out they can fit back into society. Not every person convicted of a crime has a criminal mindset, and if we help them, they possibly will not be a repeat offender. We have to teach them a different way. Repeaters who prove they aren't fit for society would create their own demise.


If I had control of law, severity of a punishments would be extreme. Once, found guilty the punishments should be sever and strict with a 1,2,3 and you're out count. Earlier I used the word "institutionalized," I feel that word or the meaning behind is one of the major reason we are housing so many people in prison because they grow to become so comfortable in prison, its no longer a punishment, and that's why we need to create my "Super Prison." We need to take the comfort out of prison. On the outskirts of Phoenix, Arizona there is a controversial prison ran by Sheriff Joe Arpaio know as "Tent City" where inmates not only wear pink clothing but they also sleep out side in tents. It think its amazing, and Sheriff Joe Arpaio is setting an example the rest of the US should follow. It might seem a little extreme; however, this prison has been around for a long time and inmates survive every year such as Mike Tyson.

In conclusion, if I was President I would toughen our laws and make prison an unpleasant place to visit, and without getting into too many details and/or beating a dead horse, I'll just say we don't need people who prove to be unfit for society such as rapist, cold blood killers, repeat offenders and so on.... Let's get rid of them!

Fixing the US part1: Economy

With 2012 just months away, not only do I have to worry about a 100 tons meteorite landing on my doublewide trailer, aliens coming down to Earth and using my insides for a huge pot of galactic gumbo, being washed away by 1000 foot tsunami that was created by a super earthquake in the middle of the ocean or another ice age turning me into a creole flavored popsicle, but also who’s going to running this country at the time of the apocalypse, and to be honest, I have a hard time following politics because they are all corrupted to some point and if not they never keep their promises which brings me to the point of this post…. I’m no politician but I would love to take a stab at trying to fix the United States of America. Although the United States is the best country to live in, I still feel there is room for improvement such Economy, Law, Society, Politics, Religion and so on; however, today I’m only going to focus on our economy.

Here is food for thought while I present my campaign, ask yourself, “how much is your car outside worth if you sold it right now!?”

I’m going to start out by saying, I believe Obama was onto something when be bailed out the banks but he executed it wrong. His attempt to stimulate the economy was piss-poor because he forgot one major player…. THE PEOPLE! He bailed out the banks, but left the people still in debt over their heads. He gave us a lousy stimulus check and a small tax break for a few years, but we, as society, still owe those same banks years of our hard earned cash and that’s what’s destroying out economy. I’d like to ask Obama…

HOW CAN WE STIMULATE THE ECONOMY WHEN WE ARE TOO BUSY PAYING FOR WHAT WE BOUGHT IN THE PREVIOUS YEARS?

My answer… We can’t! If you’re asking, “so how I would fix Obama’s plan and make it effective,” I’d bail out the people… You and Me! I would give the same banks the same money Obama did, but I would tell them I’m bailing out all the people, no longer do they owe any money and also I would completely eliminate credit for consumer use. Sounds great right!? Well I wouldn’t let society off the hook that easy. I would put a stipulation on the people as well… For every house, car, boat and anything else I bailed you out of, you can not sell or make a profit off of for at least 10 years. If you’re asking, “how does that fix anything!?” Great question!

Think about how much money you would have left in your pocket if you no longer had a monthly house and/or a car note. I don’t know about you, but I personally would add over $1,000 back into my monthly budget, without even adding my spouse’s car and any credit cards. What about you? Would you have a lot of spending money! I’m sure you would and if not, you already ahead of the game by not submerging yourself in this “Credit tar-pit” that most of us have been left to slowly decay in.


I bet the burning question right now is, “why does this guy hate credit so much!?”

Its simple…. Credit is a double edge sword that is easily abuse on both ends. Growing up in an era when credit was in it infancy, and becoming a major factor in society, my parents would preach to me that I have to have “Good credit!” What is good credit!? To me all credit is bad. The whole principle is design for the common folk to lose every time and the rich to just keep getting richer which is how is abused on both ends.

For example, Borrower A wants a new car, so he scans all the car lots for a car that matches his needs, but he finds a car that not only supersedes them, but also surpasses his allotted budget. He knows he can’t afford the sticker price, but the car salesman tells him, “Don’t worry, I’ll give you a smoking deal!” Here’s where it gets extremely tricky, the dealership runs a quick credit check and they know this guy is up to neck in bills and pretty much can’t afford the car, but they come up with a payment plan that’s with in his budget…. At least from first glance, so of course Borrower A excitedly excepts the deal and signs the dotted line unaware that he just purchased a car he’ll paying for for the next 10 years with an APR of 50% and 1/2 of his car note will be going straight to interest.
By the time he figures it all out, its too late and he’s trapped in a money pit. Also, on the consumers abuse, its easy for a person to continually purchase items they don’t have the funds for, and/ or loose track of how much they purchased if its all with a swipe of a wrist.

Now the answer to that question I asked you earlier about how much your car is currently worth…. It’s worth what ever someone is willing to pay you, and that’s the honest true!

The sad part of it is, if we would just wake up we have the power to control it too, but we don’t, and credit is one of the co conspirators. Within my short life I’ve seen gas prices go from $1.00 to $5.00, cigarettes from $2.00 to $7.00, Mc Donalds’ meal from $3.00 to $8.00, and an economy car from $5,000 to $30,000. If there wasn’t credit, could you afford a $20,000 Honda Civic? Probably not, nor could I. Ok, now think about this, If I sold 50 Honda Civics on credit for $20,000 a pop I’d be a millionaire… Right! Well at least on paper, Ok so what happens if all 50 of those buyers go bankrupt and can’t pay? I don’t have 1,000,000 do I? NOPE!!! This method is so busted and it’s obvious with so many people filing for bankruptcy and foreclosing on homes they should of never receive a loan on in the first place.

You’re not a millionaire if you can’t cash out your assets!


In conclusion, If I was the President, or anyone in politics that could effect our economy, I would bail out the people and kill consumer use of credit. Remember, you heard this plan here first…. LOL Also I leave a comment; I’d love to hear you take on this topic.
