Glenn Beck on Fox News what do you think?

You should listen to him and give it some thought. He is (in my opinion) highly accurate. Hear him out and check it out for yourself if you have any doubt.

What Would You Do If You Were The President Of The United States
Answers: 25 Views: 2559 Rating: 9 Posted: 13 years ago
  1. Secure the borders. 2. legalize drugs (hear me out) A few bucks worth of illicit drugs sells for hundreds of dollars due entirely to the black market. Make drugs available at low cost through state "drug stores". This will allow addicts to become functional without having to rob the 7-11 or prostitute themselves or something every other day for drug money. This also gives responsible people (the state) control over drug use and no "new" users will ever get drugs from them. Once this is set up make ANY & ALL illicit drug sales punishable by 15 yr. no parole 1st offense and life without parole 2nd offense. same penalty for use of illicit drugs. No excuses, no slack. It is said that the drug trade directly and indirectly is the cause of 80% of crime. This would help the drug problem a ton! Just getting those thousands of users out of prison and the drop in crime would pay for it. 3.Do away with the IRS. Any tax system would be better. The present system is simply nearly 100 years of politicians doing favors for their friends, Nobody knows what's in it or why and that includes the IRS. I prefer a federal sales tax. That way a wealthy person would pay $100,000 tax on his million dollar home while the working man will pay $10,000 tax on his $100,000 home. If a millionaire wants to live in a shack, fine he can keep his money. He'll just use it to invest or grow his business which will make more jobs and others will take the earnings and buy stuff, paying more taxes. I would also exclude some things from the tax. Basic food for instance. Tax steak but not hamburger. Tax designer clothes but not basic work clothes. 4. Call the military home. We are still in Germany and Japan for goodness sake. The war ended in 1945. They are our friends now and better able to defend themselves than we are. When the military is largely back here, use the savings to upgrade military training, technology, equipment, intelligence, stockpiles of material and weapons, new ships and aircraft, etc. Put the world on notice that if we or our allies are attacked there will be a declaration of war and TOTAL war will be waged until there is an unconditional surrender. Then we will go home and get ready for the next one. If you stay ready and they know you will thrash their ass, there won't be a next one. 5. Lobbying is constitutional. I would change it so that if any lobbyist contacts a sitting member of the government it is public record. Any meeting not reported is a felony for the lobbyist and the government official. No scratching each others back behind closed doors. 6. TERM LIMITS. 7. Absolutely all laws passed will apply to everyone. Especially the legislators that passed it. This must be retroactive. They have already exempted themselves from too much that they shoved down our throats. 7. Kill the Obamacare bill. The dumb thing will ruin us and US health care. A multi-trillion dollar idiotic mistake. 8. Start phasing out absolutely all entitlement programs. They are all unconstitutional & bad policy. For instance the so called "social security". It started as a halfway good idea except for one thing, the government runs it. It was changed a thousand times, always for the benefit of the government and to the detriment of the people. Finally, back in the 60's Lyndon Johnson and his "democratic" congress stole it outright, put it in the general tax fund and spent it on the "war on poverty". Six and one half TRILLION bucks later they canceled that without lowering the poverty rate EVEN ONE PERCENT. That's right, $6600,000,000,000.00 for no results at all. That's a million dollars 6.6 BILLION times folks. And you want them in charge of your health care? I think not. They have millions of people depending on social security and they don't have the money It was all spent on nothing and it's gone. Still, they take so much money out of your pocket for it that you can't afford a decent retirement program of your own. 8. Long story short, if I were president I would tart reducing the government down to a small fraction of it's size. Lower taxes, get out of peoples lives and let the free market work. It has never failed and socialism has never worked. Build up the military. The Constitution says it's purpose is to "PROVIDE for the common defense". It says "Promote" the rest. One thing I would add. I would make it mandatory to pass one year of study on the U S Constitution and declaration of independence and 2 years study of free market economics to graduate from high school. And I could go on & on & on but you get my drift by now.

Does anybody know why the earth is round?
Answers: 13 Views: 3086 Rating: 0 Posted: 13 years ago

Any body (planet, moon, star, etc.) that is large enough will be pulled into it's most compact shape (a sphere) by it's own gravity. This is made easier in many cases by the planet being a molten liquid at some point early in it's formation. At that time the heavier elements like uranium, lead, iron etc. will sink toward the center of the sphere, increasing gravity at the center and helping the sphere formation. The Earth is not perfectly round but is somewhat flattened at the poles because the spin of the earth. This generates centrifugal force which causes it to bulge at the equator. That "pulls down" material under the poles as it "bulges" to the equator.
