Things I want...

[Teacher of the Year]

A working government.

Cars that have a solar panel in their hood and roof that charge the batteries. Also, every single school and community-owned building that can have panels, should have panels. Schools could provide their own power with those long flat roofs.

Since we can build massive cross country OIL pipelines, and we can desalinate water (a new experiment just found a way to draw the salts out without clogging the system-the salt is then available as salt, rather than being dumped back into the ocean and raising the local salinity-a MAJOR breakthrough). Why not build a 300 mile water pipeline to Lake Mead or even farther up the Colorado-using those miles in the pipeline to desalinate the water and provide an additional marketable amount of salt? How many other lakes and dried up oceans could we replenish this way, and save our coasts possibly by taking water out of the ocean and putting it back into the weather system elsewhere.

Since the people who need water for their giant data centers are often the same people telling us fracking water is safe-how about the data centers can only use fracking water? They have promised it is safe.

I would like a law that says purposefully or willfully abusing the environment is considered "poisoning the well" and treated as a capital crime against humanity.

If a church decides it does not need to keep church and state separate, they should be taxed on all income, any church official using the space to talk their politics should be taxed on income and THE VALUE OF THEIR HOUSING, uniforms, transportation, utilities-anything provided by the church down to that sip of wine they have a couple times a week. All church properties, be they charitable or otherwise, should then also be taxed at full value just like everybody else. I have no problem allowing freedom to religion, and not taxing them, but they need to stay in THEIR church and out of MY government. I do not agree to join their club. Period, but they have agreed to join ours, so they need to follow the rules.

ANd finally, for my friends the trees...cutting down an old growth tree would be jail time. How about one week for every ring?

Please... feel free to add on to this list.
