Now THAT would be an interesting country, perhaps a bit to 'warm and fuzzy' for most politicians...but I couldn't resist adding this concept.

It's better to play defense during times of conflict and times of alleged peace. I would give more power to the businesses and allow people to have unrestricted rights to what do what they want to do with the land and things they buy. No residential properties. No commercial properties and nothing in between. Just freedom. Less restrictions. More opportunities. Happier People.

Yes, the checks and balances of the three branches works pretty well, but I would add to that. The presidency should be a council of five diverse people, not just one person. That way we would have intelligent people of different beliefs, virtues and backgrounds all working together to come to one conclusion. And since people in general see the president as their voice instead of their senators and representatives, they will feel like they have a person with power working for the better of them. Thus making everyone feel better and have more faith in the government. And since it is adding it to a government that has already proven itself to work without imploding, there aren't too many down points. Sure, I am aware of all the problems this brings up, but it would at least be a step ahead. And I fully understand my idea sounds a lot like a presidential cabinet, but they would all have equal power and they would still have a cabinet for extra opinions and such. Also, I would make our country more defensive and, if need be, less offensive. Once we have established total safety on homeland soil, we will not only have huge morale boosts, but we will be able to pay attention to affairs outside of the US easier. That is all for now. :P Well, if I ruled the government, I would take away my powers. Yes, the checks and balances of the three branches works pretty well, but I would add to that.

Thu, 10 Jan 2008 18:30:41 +0000 http://eakin.edublogs.org/2007/12/17/what-would-you-change/#comment-363 I have to agree with Becca on this one. Beacause the country is always so one-sided and you never know what side it will be on after the next election. I think that if our government executives were from two different parties, then we would have a more balanced counrty. If you think about it, it could make so many more people happy. They could have the best of both worlds with one democrat and one republican in office at the same time. The views of both halves of the country would be brought to the table and that would lead to less problems in everything the government has to deal with in this country.

I think we just might have a black president.And no fellow classmates it is not me. But that dude Oboma might just make the cut. It's to bad that our nation revolves around crime,race, and sex. Like I think Hillary Clinton would fine inside of that building which is all white..She is a Clinton who cares if she is a female. What dose it matter. I think i should be like Mrs.Eaakin and say forget politics. They do nothing but sell ther souls. And ussaly make things bigger than what the ussally are. I think there all a bunch of grade schoolers. You Know!!! The type thats like .."no i was in front of you, no you werenot its my turn" haha Memeber guys being a line leader in elementy school..HahahahHhah Shout to Perios five...and Patricia Beatrix-Elener Basco...
