I request a Nae speech, to sway me in voting her Dictator for Life!
As her press agent.. or something.. You've just missed her world famous, and earth shattering speach. (which supplied the quotes for this banner)
hehehehehehe 
naenae!
As your Dictator, I would change the world. I would make it a happier place for everyone.
Legalized Prostitution. Legalized hemp. Legalized poly and gay marriages.
All sex laws that don't have to do with rape would be gone. If you want butt-sex, enjoy it. The Government does not belong in people's bedrooms.
I would fund a water purification plant in California, to de-salinize salt water. Something must be done to help this drought.
If you make me your Dictator, I would change the electoral college system into a popular vote. No more would people's votes go unlistened to.
Vote for me.
The choice is simple.

The reason why they spend so much on toilet seats and the like is often, they have to be special made. An ashtray costs 800 dollars, you say? Well, when you're on a ship and you're in rough seas, the last thing you need is a regular glass ashtray shattering into a billion peices and hurting someone. The ones they have for 800 bucks are designed to shatter into three large peices without sharp edges.
And you can't put a regular toilet bowl in a sub, but you can order one so a standard seat can fit on it. 
I like the taxing of gambling, prostitution, and pot, though.

Caanis Lupus had this to say about gunsgunsguns:
What is The Nae's stance on the 2nd Admendment?
I believe that every American has the right to keep and bear arms. I do think that it is irresponsible to do so without proper Education, but I don't think the Government should require people to take courses.
Another thing, I don't believe in Legislating Morality. I am Pro-Choice.
I would abolish seatbelt and helmet laws. I think people should have the right to make their own mistakes. If they get into an accident without either of those items, they would pay dearly, in more than one way. Why tie up the Judicial system with tickets for stupidity?

Nae impressed everyone with:
I believe that every American has the right to keep and bear arms.
But what about our lesser known right to keep and arm bears? Would I be able to equip my pet grizzly with a Thompson .45 submachine gun in each paw? What if I wanted to upgrade him to either light anti-tank weapons or to a polar bear?

To me, the second amendment is the right of the state to keep a standing militia, it only says the right to bear arms if you remove some words from it. 
But I still think it's such a deeply ingrained right that it's not going away, and I can accept that.

WTF? If you got rid of the college you would fuck major shit up. If we went by popular vote, the only places in the US that would matter any more would be the Boston to Washington area(Major focus being NYC) and The L.A. San Francisco area, Thats were the mjority of the population is. Thats the reason we have the college, if not the heartland, southwest and northwest wouldn't have much say in how the government is run.
And Delphi, from my understanding, the 2nd admendment is can or is an implication of our right to disolve the government if we see it fit, following Locke's philosophy. Though I doubt it would work well in this day and age.

Of course I do. I just don't want the job for the rest of my life, or until someone kills me dead with an armed pet bear.
Since you citizens are afraid of a popular vote, I would give more Electoral votes to Arizona, Nevada, Illinois, Montana and Washington State.
Because I said so.

I already stated that I do not think prisoners should develop a fan base. I want them to be taken from the world and suffer for their crimes in silence. No luxury. No attention from adoring fans. I want them to shovel goat shit and like it.

FDA and CDC could use the extensive cross section of the population represented in the prisons to further food, drug, and medical technology.
What about a mandatory 75% tax on professional sports to fund education, police, fire, hospitals, and civic reconstruction projects?

I like you.
Maybe I will make you one of my advisors.
While California does have a lot of unused space for water storage, last I heard they still had periodic energy problems, hippies who don't like modern nuclear reactors living all over the place, and were getting juice from other states. So that's issue one.
Issue two is the breakdown of insurance. You want to give everyone benefits, but you also want to let people experiment with being idiots (prostitution, legalized drugs, etc). A short term solution is to deny everyone who partakes of these sorts of things insurance, but that rather defeats the purpose (it essentially advocates morality by denying them necessities). So you'd end up dealing with a buckling system.
As for the American Farmer...well...simple Geography. The American Farmer produces more food than the USA could ever eat, year by year. Contrary to popular belief, there are very few adult homeless folks who starve to death. It's the kids who end up under or malnourished. So redirect the surplus food to kids who need it, ship the rest overseas on a discount (hell ship it at cost).

Ja'Deth Issar Ka'bael had this to say about John Romero:
Problem with desalinizing sea water is that it takes energy to do so. On a small scale, you can use normal evaporation, etc to hook things up with pure water. To force it (mass produce) fresh water, you have to expend a tremendous amount of energy (pumping it, etc), and invest in massive storage facilities (desalinizing water isn't something you can do on an as-use basis), with the understanding that the vast majority of the water won't be reclaimed.While California does have a lot of unused space for water storage, last I heard they still had periodic energy problems, hippies who don't like modern nuclear reactors living all over the place, and were getting juice from other states. So that's issue one.
Although not really needed, this is very true. San Diego HAD a de-sal plant on Point Loma, wich ran through WW2 and the Korean War. To say the least, the water cost twice as much as it was to have it shipped from else where.
I think the trick to the water problem is to force people to NOT have these extravagent Gardens, perfectly green lawns... etc.
We live in a semi-arid desert, and many people don't treat it as such. An Idea popped into my head was the watercatching nets they use in Chile and sourrounding areas, we have a massive marine layer, and fog regularly, there's enough precip that comes from that, if we were able to capture some of it.... maybe...

Places shouldn't have votes, people should, where those people choose to live is pretty irrelevant. Why should the opinion of 400 people living spread out across a desert count for more than that of 400 people living in an apartment building? The southwest, northwest and heartland wouldn't have much say because very few people live there compared to the rest of the country, "one man, one vote"-principle and all that.
On the prison system: What do you intend for prisoners to do after they come out of prison, having been cut of from the outside completely, possibly for years, with a criminal record and no skills to speak of, what perspectives would they have beyond going right back into crime, landing back in prison and continuing to cost money?

So "The People" in the second amendment isn't the same "The People" in the other ones?
That's an interesting thought.
I'd also like to note that the second amendment does not say "The right of the state to maintain a standing militia". Arttemis fucked around with this message on 06-19-2004 at 09:34 PM.

Thank you Mod, that is my opinion as well on the Electoral system.
As for Prisoners, I would have a work and rehab system for them like I plan for the homeless.
I would hope that having prison as an unpleasant experience would help deter furthur violations. Who wants to live in a tent city? I hope nobody.

Maybe make a program for the last year or two of their sentence to train them in something other then crime?
Or send them into a Boot Camp like place, Drill Sargents instead of prison wardons and such.

What is the stance of The Nae on overcoming the Country's overdependace on oil? Solar, nuclear, hydro, and methane?
What of the desctruction of the ecology due to big business that just pay off inspectors to keep ruining rivers and lakes?
What of tarifs on imports to give local producers of goods a fair chance vs slave labor of third world nations used by said big businesses? Bring this Nation's internal production percentages back to that of WWII era?
The Nae has thought of halting the USA's involvement in the UN from a troop stand point AND economic stand point? The UN has out lived its usefullness and time for someone else to foot the bill.
