Golgo 13 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2006 It was definitely DVDs. Make more homes for the homeless. Thereby eliminating the useless shit we have in this country. And believe me we have ALOT of useless shit in this country. Golf courses have enough land for alot of homes. I would also eliminate Wallstreet cuz Captialism would be dead. Everything is at a reasonable price like DVD's cost $20.00 and computers $10.00. Everyone would get food as I would send food mobiles to give food to people sort of like the milkman but the food man. Everyone owns everything so that means Joe Smloe with the glass eye and beer belly could own part of the New York Yankees or Trump Plaza. No inflation due to low prices for everything. Believe me, more people will buy if it is at a reasonable price. AND STAY OUT OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS! A military yes. But only to defend us[/N]. No special missions or shit. Socialism will take over. Yeah. That's how I would make America better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2006 By the way guys, let's not be ignorant. Most of the countries this system is being piloted in aren't desolate wastelands. Yeah, they might have issues and be somewhat poor, but it's not like the people Brazil or Egypt are all starving to death. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
