What new law is needed to make the world a better place to live?

Joanne's FAVORITE answer:
No undesirables allowed in specified parts of each city.

Joanne's answer:
I always thought it would be a good idea to make donating your TIME a tax-deductible donation. A lot of non-profit or charitable organizations need people to help them do stuff - be it unskilled tasks (e.g., filing) or highly skilled advice (e.g., lawyer stuff) - and I feel like a lot of people may be more willing to donate their time than their money (especially people who have very little money)....so if we could somehow figure out a "price per hour" that a particular volunteer job was worth and then allow that amount of money to be a tax-deduction, it would be an insentive for people to donate their time (just like s tax-deduction on money donations is an insentive for people to donate their money). May not make a huge difference but it seems like it might help a little.

And the other answers:

1. Before we can think about new laws, we need to enforce the ones we already have. I'll reassess the situation after that happens.

2. Accept gay marriage amendments. It hurts NO ONE, is based on love and commitment, and any law against it - which is the result of fear and ignorance - is bad news. (ok, climbing off soapbox now).

3. While I don't necessarily think the world needs MORE laws than we already have, if I got the power to put one law on the books, believe it or not, it would be a tax law... I'm totally okay with paying taxes (any politician's promises to lower my taxes means nothingto me and is not a good reason for me to vote for them...) HOWEVER, I HATE not being able to control what my tax money is spent on. I personally think it is beyond ridiculous that the United States spends roughly $400 BILLION per year on the military (not counting the current costs of the Iraq War which is goingat a rate of $8 billion per MONTH...) while only finding about $13 billion per year to spend on education... To me that is just a colossal misordering of priorities... SO, my new law would keep the tax rate the same, but allow each individual taxpayer to decide what aspect of the government/infrastructure of the country they wish their money to go towards... so if you love the military, by all means have your money go to them,while those who value education can put more there, or spread your taxmoney out equally among health care, police, fire, and roads... whatever you want! Then we will truly see what the American taxpayer values and wants out of their society. Government of the people, by the people, and for the people!

4. Free porn!!!! hahhaa

5. Mandatory health care for all children.

6. Term limits for all politicians.

7. There can be such a law?????

8. Wouldn't it be grand if it was a new law that was going to fix the world? I think it's a new attitude we need to have. We are so very disconnected from our lives we need to reconnect with things that make the world better instead of putting so much energy towards things that rip it apart.

9. Alcohol should be permitted on every beach! Pittsburgh specificly, alcohol should be permitted at grocery stores!

10. 25% of all sports or entertainment contracts for more than 10 million dollars should be taken off the top and poured directly into education - for toddlers, school kids, college kids, and adults who need to learn a trade.
