Post Office was broken, Social Security is broke. Now people think that government health care is a good idea?
Ooops, Obama inadvertently mentioned that FedEx and UPS kick ass and the U.S. postal service is suffering.
Post Office? What is that? Is that the place where e is used for paper and envelopes and material before the Internet was invented? I remember something about things called "stamps"?
CURRENCY COLLAPSE: Why The Government Won't Act

With the exception of alcohol, and pot, and your willingness to accept and encourage free-market capitalism, it seems fairly good, especially from an environmental standpoint.

Well, I don’t like you government and if it becomes the official government of this country I will do everything to resist it. There are too many things objectionable to me about you idea.

Why not? You fascist swine. Let’s make you the first state slave. Why shouldn’t you experience this for yourself. I suggest three years for just coming up with your useless idea.

Sooo.. you are proposing a totalitarian communo-fascist involuntary collective controlled by independent militias with some miniscule ‘democratic’ elements. Sounds like some lawless countries in Africa. Feel free to go there & see how wonderful they are.
Sounds like the making of a plot for an interesting novel ala Orwell.
There are obviously a great many things you’d like to speak of that you really have NO understanding upon whatsoever.. I’ll guess you’re about… 13 maybe?
You have a vivid imagination, so I won’t flame you. However, you won’t find very many people that would be willing to sign on to this scheme. Realize that it is human nature itself that makes it impossible for any sort of collective / cooperative government / society to EVER work.. but keep examining the world… you’ll stumble across the truths one by one.
Here’s one.. you can have a free populace, or one under involuntary control. Not both.
And another.. nothing of the sort will ever happen in the US so long as a single true American has breath in their lungs & a single round of ammo in their magazine.
We are hoarding untold hundreds of millions of them, remember.

I’ll take it point by point:
Recycle using prison system – I’m opposed to more government intrusion in my life. I don’t want the government telling me what I can and can not do with my empty plastic bottle. I am perfectly okay with using the prison system as a labor source though.
Canadian style heath care – Again, I’m opposed to government interference. I think that private health care, where there is actual free market competition (not just having the government as your one and only option), is a much better idea.
Vote for each law – This was tried in ancient Greece. They dumped it because it got too tedious to do. The sheer number of bills introduced precludes anybody who has a job, a life, kids, etc from making an informed decision on everything.
Legalizing drugs – Alcohol causes plenty of deaths, yet is perfectly legal. I support a person’s right to choose to do whatever they want to their body. Their body does not belong to the government. If they choose to do harm to their body, that is their choice, not Uncle Sam’s.
Limit alcohol – Again, a person’s body does not belong to the government. If they want to drink, that’s their personal choice. Also, what happens if somebody wants to buy a lot of alcohol for a cocktail party???
Legal drinking age – I think the legal drinking age should be 18. Below 18 the parents should make the rules for their children, not the government.
Drop out of school – Criminalizing drop outs is not the way to fix the much deeper problem.
Secrets will not be kept from the civilians – Every government has to keep some secrets. You don’t want info about your disaster response drills to fall into your enemies hands; They would simply bypass it. You don’t want your enemies knowing where you keep your latest military weapons… The list goes on.
Pot houses – Again, what a person chooses to put into their body is not for the government to regulate or track using cards. If a person wants pot at home, that is their personal choice, not one the government should make.
Cigarettes – If you want to smoke “all natural” cigarettes, that’s fine; Just don’t regulate what other people put into their own bodies.
Guns – If you don’t like guns don’t buy one, but don’t force your views on others. Outlawing guns puts up a huge sign that says “Rob/rape/murder me. I’m unarmed and have no way of fighting back”. Also, what about hunting, target shooting, collecting, etc? Think guns increase crime? Check out the following study from Harvard. http://www.law.harvard.edu/students/orgs…
Satanism – I see you don’t actually support freedom of religion. All religions must be allowed to believe whatever they want without government interference. Exactly how would one enforce a law that says you can not believe something? Thought police???
Christmas and Easter – Or you could just not have the government intermingle with religion. So much for separation of church and state. Christmas and Easter are religious holidays. If you feel they should be on another day, celebrate them then or not at all. Again, would the though police enforce this? If you’re offended by it, that’s just too bad. You don’t have a right not to be offended.
Power companies – I’m opposed to more government interference. How about we have the free market decide, not artificially slant the free market via legislation and subsidies.
Life support – This is a private family decision, not something the government should ever decide for anybody. There is something called an advance directive that can be filled out (they’re quite easy to find online). You fill out what you want and don’t want done regarding your medical care should something happen to you. You can also fill out DPOA forms that appoint somebody to make your medical decisions for you should you no longer be able to do so for yourself.
Marriage – How about we not have any marriage licenses whatsoever. People would be allowed to make a marriage contract between themselves and a religious institution if they so desire one to be involved. Since when did marriage become an agreement between a couple and Uncle Sam? Oh, I remember. Marriage licenses were originally invented to prevent interracial marriage. That’s not a good thing to continue.
Cheating – You realize that “half” that would go to the government would likely be communal property between the couple and would cause financial damage to the innocent party, right? Also, we don’t need the government being involved in anybody’s sex life.
KIng/queen – So certain people are somehow superior to others because they won the genetic lottery. Nope, I prefer my own sovereignty.
Roads – If there actually is a cost efficient way to do this I would love to know.
Law enforcement – Wow, so law enforcement can torture people legally? I have no words for this.
I got cut off… E-mail me of you want the rest

A few flaws: Slavery wouldnt be the correct term. If all the “PRISONERS” are doing is recycling, it wouldnt be much different from a select few jails today. Also, restricting people with a credit card-like device as to how much they can buy will do nothing. anyone could just have someone else buy more for them. Also, marijuana should ONLY be used for medical purposes. It is still worse then cigarrettes. Cigarrettes should be banned entireley, as they do still pollute, natural or not. They also spread disease to innocent people, even with “controlled smoking zones”, because of the remains of the smoke, and any smoke that escapes the zone will harm innocent non-smokers. If anything, the government would also invest in medical applications to help smokers quit, and only apply the medicine or what ever it be in an official doctors office, to prevent overdose…
other then that, it seems like a wonderful government to live under, but i agree with las vegas guy up there. it wont happen.
