Are you trying to teach me about the Article 1 section 8 of Constitution talking about 'welfare' and regulating interstate commerce? So why do you need to be derisive?
I believe it is the imperfection of the Constitution that needs to be fixed. People are evolving in all aspects, still evolving physically, mentally, socially. There is still time and it will happen, it's not like US will last much longer in its current form. Very soon its very currency will be destroyed and something will have to be changed. Of-course I am not certain that it will in fact be the US that will go the correct route, but some other places are starting to show signs of progress moving in the right direction (ironically though, since USA used to be an example of such development).
I feel good about them when they are done privately or at the very least locally even if publicly, but I feel terrible about them if they are done federally.
1. I am not interested in any career politicians staying in office because they deal with any corporations/unions/industries or even promising easier life to individuals. 2. The list of gov't functions is clearly defined: Military + Justice system. The reasons behind this functionality are: Constitution and protection of individual Liberties and Freedoms. Nothing else.
3. Corruption in government wouldn't even be an issue if government was unable to subvert the economy to its means.
IRS, Fed must be abolished, FDIC, Freddie/Fannie etc, must be dismantled. Only gov't income must come from sales taxes and this provides a feedback loop to control size of gov't, it's spending. No gov't activity must be allowed that would lead to any private increase of power for any organization within economy.
Gov't corruption is related to gov't ability to manipulate currency, interest rates, provide subsidies, set taxes and do all kinds of spending and all of this without any feedback that would stop the gov't from doing what it's doing.
What is needed is a more strict definition of what is allowed and not allowed to the Fed, and nothing that deals with commerce must be allowed. In the links I already talked about adding a Constitutional amendment that would prohibit Congress from interfering with the markets in any way.

More interesting question then becomes who would want to work in the gov't, if it was clear that the feedback mechanism would not guarantee life long employment and would not provide ability to grow one's staff and power indefinitely. That's the challenge.
You have mixed it up a bit, it's a great society for billionaires and everybody who enjoys being corporate cattle right now.
Unless you've been in hibernation for the past 100 years, the gov't has increasingly been on the path of taking away your freedoms and liberties, while providing them to the corporations and now they are openly bailing out the monopolies they have created. Unless you've been asleep for the past 100 years, you should have noticed the corporate welfare that turned the people into that cattle.
People used to be called pioneers, now they are just consumers.
I want gov't out of economy completely, only dealing with 2 things really: Justice system, minimum military needed to protect liberties.
That's it.
Everything else is a function of the market. Gov't creates monopolies that end up doing whatever they wish and pay gov't to help them stay monopolies. The correct fix for this 'Net Neutrality' issue is an ISP (or a few) that would offer services without any such prioritization imposed by the ISP no matter who paid it, which of-course may come at an extra cost.
This is no different actually from your cable company charging you for your connection and programming (and possibly rent of equipment) while still pushing ads onto your screen.
The federal commission of me agrees: science should be banned in the USA, so should be the last remnants of common sense; any display of individuality and unhealthy interest in any particular subject need to be investigated to establish the safety of such behavior as it relates to the society in total.
Everything must be made not just safe enough, but safe with a huge margin of error so that there is no chance of any accident happening ever at all. Of-course accidents are mostly responsible for a large number of scientific discoveries, so any evidence of scientific discovery must be investigated to isolate the main reason and find out where the safety procedures have failed to prevent such an occurrence to make sure it never happens again.
-Texting while driving is dangerous. -Dangerous -Treaterous -perilous. -People who were text messaging were twenty times more likely to have an accident than those who were talking on phones instead of typing. -Just say no. -But I am a sucker for peer pressure, my thumbs get stuck. -Get a designated texter. -People on a road can turn an LOL into a great big OMG. -People on a road can turn an LOL into a great big OMG. -People on a road can turn an LOL into a great big OMG.
one of these days they will stop trying to figure out what makes some women more attractive than others and will finally start figuring out how to get everyone one or two of those.

Reminds me of another old joke: Two beggars are sitting on opposite corners of a street. One has a sign: give to a poor Arab, and he has a few dozens of coins in a plate. Another has a sign: give to a poor Jew. He has 1 coin. A passer by drops a coin into the Jew's plate and says: -You should probably change your sign, it's not working out. Once the guy left, the Jew yells to the Arab: Hey, Isaiah, he is going to teach us to do business here!
the only problem with this contract is just how much of a target one can become if one decided to go for the money and the fun of 'exorcising' the demon from the nuclear power plant (and whatever else) systems.
Well that's the problem, ain't it? None of those people are working on these projects and shit ends up being named 'Gimp' or 'Rusty Baboon' or whatever the latest release of Ubuntu is.

I cannot support this bill, just like I can never support anything government does ever for any reason.

When I am drunk, then I agree with you completely, I text at that point.

Hey, my suggestions are only not to call shit 'Gimp' and 'Dinky Poo'.
Top Office beats Gimp, so does Power Office, but I am not expecting those to be actual names.
Well that's the problem, ain't it? None of those people are working on these projects and shit ends up being named 'Gimp' or 'Rusty Baboon' or whatever the latest release of Ubuntu is.
Oh yeah, and what's your suggestion? "Syphilitic Cat"?
Well finally some good news after all this doom and gloom lately.
Hope it hits something that needs to be hit and solves some sort of a problem of that time.
OK, OK, I am on it already.
Please please please please please, do not go with 'libre' or 'gnu' or 'gimp' or 'smokingfeces' or 'roadkill' or 'firebox' or 'ckunglom' :((((
Ohhh, I am so sad to see a good piece of software come out with a terrible unmarketable name.
Pleaaaaase, let's have a good name for once.
How about "Top Office" or "Power Office" or.... (I was just thinking Barely Legal Office, then I realized I was thinking of porn.)
OK, something sexy, something with zing, zzzazzzz, xxuzzzz, whatever.
"XUPER OFFICE!"
"Best Office"
Just don't come out with something like "Unfortunate office", it's just not good.
