Must be nice to have that kind of clout. <br><br>I think I would mandate OpenSource tools and formats for all government docs and free beer on Fridays. I would also be looking at a lowering of the drinking age to better align with Darwins rules while jacking the gas tax up (+$4-$8/gal ramped over 3 years) to fund better mass transit so I can go the pub by freakin' rail (or something - moving sidewalks? Jetsons auto-air-car? donkey cart?), get a few pints in me and still get home in less time than it takes to WALK.<br>
<br>Power corrupts and absolute power is pretty cool! <br>Everyone must pass 4 years of physics/chemistry to graduate from high school!<br>Everyone must pass 4 years of math as well (up through integral calc and infinite series, Taylor expansion, etc)<br>
Everyone must pass 4 years of a second language (not including computer language)<br>Everyone must pass 4 years of their primary language with reading and writing (not just the 5 paragraph paper!)<br>Everyone must pass 4 years of an art (music, visual arts, something creative - industrial arts should be allowed here as well as drama and quilting and wood carving, and... - get creative and have some fun!).<br>
The remaining 8 classes for a 4 year highschool semester program should be secondary science, history, world religion, etc.<br>Flunk a class and repeat the year.<br><br>My rules! MUWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">
