here's a few ideas for Tony & Co.
If I was in charge we would not need prisons, anyone begging, stealing or wearing baseball caps/tracksuits would be shot on sight.
Murderes and drug dealers would be hung on conviction.
Local taxation introduced for council tax.
telly licence abolished, especially for poor folk.

car thieves and burglars will get 10 years in jail [or heads chopped off]

i think of more ideas later [its late here].

jOhn, you are mentally screwed beyond hope. :-) Why not just adopt the old martial arts technique of Lapp-Goch? It's based on this principle:

* Decide ahead of time who is dangerous to you now...or might be someday, even if they aren't now...or might even think about being dangerous to you someday...and KILL them all NOW without warning before they get a chance to do anything! *

Imagine how safe you will feel once you've eliminated all the "undesirables" in your neighborhood...then your region...then your country...and finally...THE WORLD!!! Imagine the thanks of a grateful humanity that you will receive... (snicker!)

Here is the dearest promise of every tyrant unto his people, upon assuming command: "I will restore order!"

Yeah, sure....

p.s. I agree about abolishing the telly licenses, though.

Yo jOhn.. It ain't about legalizin' this kinda stuff but more like, ahhhhh, what you gonna do about it... Okay, think about it this way. You got a guy down on his luck out beggin' fie a meal. Tight? Well, if you leave him alone then maybe at the end of the day someone would have throwed him a little money and he would have gone to bed without an empty stomach and whoever gave him the moneu will go to bed thinking they helped someone less off thean themself. Right, so far?

Well, now unner yer proposal, this guy would be arrested and thrown into jail which is now gonna cost you some serious money to keep him there and no one is going to go to bed feeling good. Got it?

(Prolly not, Bobert. jOhn has been up way too late and is in the Twilight Zone of reality. You know, like most of the other time, 'cept in this case, he has an excuse...)

Awwww, nevermind, jOhn. Yer right. Shoot the guy! No, wait, take his head off... Yeah, that's better... Either way, he won't go to bed hungry tonight...

Little Hawk-The ideas you describe are exactly waht the US and Uk goverment are doing now, [Gauntanamo Bay, and Belmarsh Prison, there are folk there that have not been convicyed OR CHARGED with any offence!]

Not sure about Gauntanamo Bay, but the guys in Belmarsh Prison are locked up simply because they looked a bit dodgy, police do not have any evidence to charge them with anything, but they are thrown in jail as "they might be up to something, but we can't prove it".

[see my earlier thread "charge them or let them go"].

anyway=that lapp-goch seems like a good idea, only a few weeks ago i was in local drinking place, some bloke came up to me says ="give me cigarette", i said no, he came towards me in an agressive manner, so I give him a big thump in the belly, then he fell down on floor, [serve him right].

"Small" men? Napoleon was small, wasn't he? Isn't that why he ran around conquering all of Europe? I think that the idea of making small men larger is a good one, as it would contribute to ending war.

I would start by executing all persons financially supporting themselves in any connection with association football, deporting all survivors having any other connection with it (typically amateurs), and banning the game.

This would, at a stroke, remove the focus for a large part of civil violence and antisocial behaviour in the country, significantly raise the average IQ of those left alive in the country, remove a significant stimulus to poor use of the English language, improve the likelihood of schoolchildren attending with diligence to their work, and remove major sources of conflict with foreign nations and between the sexes.

Next, country music (including country and western)....

If I were king, my pipe should be premier.
The skies of time and chance are seldom clear,
We would inform them all with bland blue weather.
Delight alone would need to shed a tear,
For dream and deed should war no more together.

Art should aspire, yet ugliness be dear;
Beauty, the shaft, should speed with wit for feather;
And love, sweet love, should never fall to sere,
      If I were king.

But politics should find no harbor near;
The Philistine should fear to slip his tether;
Tobacco should be duty free, and beer;
In fact, in room of this, the age of leather,
An age of gold all radiant should appear,
      If I were king.

-- W. E. Henley (1877)

If I were in charge
Every day would be the first day of spring
Every heart would have a new song to sing
And we sing of the joy every morning would bring

If I were in charge
Every man would be as free as a bird
Every voice should be a voice to be heard
Take my word
We would treasure each day that occurred

My world would be a beautiful place,
Where we would weave such wonderful dreams
My world would wear a smile on its face
Like the man in the moon has when the moon beams

If I were in charge
Every man would say the world was my friend
There'd be happiness that no man could end

No my friend
Not if I were in charge.
Every head would be held up high
There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky
If the day ever dawned when I were in charge
