When I become Supreme Ruler of the Universe…..

…. my (not so short) list of things that need doing is now ready to go, so I can sort of hit the ground running.Here’s an sneak-peak look at my list:1. To drive in the car pool lanes there will have to be two or more licensed drivers in the car. Driving kids around will not qualify as a car-pool, as you’re not removing a car from the freeway, but adding one in place of a school bus. Also, car pool lanes will exist only on regular work days, during “rush hours”, and only in the direction that any traffic will be “rushing” in.Furthermore, those yellow carpool lane sticker passes for single passenger vehicles will be taken away. Crap, they’re already getting a major sales push from the price of gas hitting the ceiling, no one needs any more incentive to buy one of those cockroach looking fuel saver cars.2. Dog breeders will be neutered, without anesthetic, and made to wear a huge plastic funnel around their neck.3. No one will be allowed to buy a pickup truck unless they can prove a business related need for it, and even more proof will be needed for trucks with dual rear wheels.4. Anyone found parking in a handicapped only parking spot with a mirror hanging permit (or car plates that are not in their name, unless the named person is also in the car at that moment) will have their legs broken on the spot, thereby making their parking spot usage valid. Doctors found to have given paperwork to get a handicapped parking permit to a person not actually needing one will be ground up and mixed with cement to make parking lot slow down bumps.5. No one shall be seated into any political office that is able to declare war, unless they have served in active combat, or have children in the military that could be shipped to a war zone. This group of eligible candidates will exclude anyone who was jumped into a peacetime reserve unit by the pulling of strings by, oh let’s say their politically connected father, or anyone, anywhere, that thought even for a moment that Marrion Morrison  (aka John Wayne) saw any gunfire other than on stage 23 at Warner Brothers (or a similar location).6. Not only will it be legal to shoot grafitti “artists” when caught defacing public property, I’m thinking a cash bounty might be in order. The amount of cash to be based on the size of the defacement and usage of gang colors.7. People living as citizens in the United States of America will no longer be known as “…….”-Americans, but rather as Americans of ” …….” ancestry or native origin, putting the “American” in front. This will go a long way to end prejudicial treatment as a way of life, since after all is said and done, in this manner we’re all “Americans” first, with lesser emphasis placed on the individual’s differentiating part. For example, a graffiti artist (see #6 above) might say: “I’m a American of Mexican origin”, and not, “I’m a Mexican-American”.(As always, feel free to add on any of your own ideas…..)
