The founding fathers didn't see hanging or a firing squad (quick death) as cruel and unusual. Cruel and unusual would be torture or a slow death. I like the idea of going to grade school year round, with breaks of course, and graduate high school at 16. No drivers license until you graduate high school. Then 2 years of trade school or college.

If you don't go, you automatically go in the military at 18. Maybe everyone should go in the military at 18. Those with skills get promoted after basic training. Others remain privates. To cover these costs, you eliminate the Border patrol and use the military and expand the Coast Guard. With expanded military, they could build and repair US roads and highways, bridges, etc, and eliminate the money sent to the states for this work by spending it on expanded military. The expanded military will allow for quick mobilization in time of war, or natural disaster. FEMA could be eliminated and money spent to expand the national guard, which can be called up immediately by the state governors in times of emergency. The military is more efficient in operation than a bureaucracy.

Otherwise the same three above, as well as term limits for all politicians.

Then there is prayer and bible reading in schools. The constitution says we have freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion. So anytime anyone wants to pray or read a bible in school, this should be allowed by students on a voluntary basis.

Those who would disrespect our flag have never been handed a folded one.

Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.

I agree the majority of Americans are too soft and can't take care of themselves. Going to be a real problem if the SHTF because buying anything of value like food will immediately become impossible. Our supply chain will dry up pretty fast and living off the land will become impossible fast also.

Feeling humble I am.

I'm thinking of founding a new political party. We'll call it the Good For You Party. Anyone want to climb aboard?

Good stuff Dan , i'm in for the good for you party , if we had even 10,000 people who would get together in numbers and tell our Gov't these things we could get the ball rolling and be heard . But it won't happen - people just aren't like that these days .
We should start some State and regional groups and demand that our elected officials adhere to what they swore to do , but we won't [i will] but people just aren't like that these days .
Nobody is willing to step up and be heard - these days - plenty of innanet talk but that's where it ends .
They'll just sit and fantasize that President Trump is going to make it all happen - IMPOSSIBLE !
Many hundreds - maybe thousands will read the thread and just click the 'back button' and look for a more fun thread , because that's how people are these days .
Take care - love your shooting range .

I was literally just discussing with the wife about some of the 'younger' crowd that are now shieting on Thanksgiving. The continual chipping away of AMERICAN traditions.

Update on the repeat offender referenced in the OP. The boy fled a traffic stop, injuring two sheriffs deputies and striking a motorcyclist. That fella is in an induced coma, had one leg amputated below the knee and multiple spinal injuries. I have rope and a few tall trees, just in case the judge is following the thread. No charge.

He should never been released the last time.

This & the fact that we tried to satisfy & pacify everyone from the do-gooders to the moderate socialists to the all out left wing idiots & communists is evidence of that fact.

But I dunno if there's enough left with the will to turn the ship or not.................rocks are close.
