Why should the government be the one to provide incentives? Do you think
the market can decide for itself what it wants to do?

We have been buying oil for a long time. But if we're so concerned about
imports, then we should increase import duties on things we buy over
seas. This way, we don't punish ourselves. A lot of people honestly
believe that America can't make it alone. I believe that we have enough
resources to stick it out alone. I'm not saying we should be
isolationist. I'm saying we don't have to let down our guard completely
when it comes to trade.

We could stop this bi-lingual education bullshit which leaves the
immigrants less capable of understanding english. And for the kids who
are born here, they should be taught to read phonetically. It's time to
ditch this "whole word" philosophy which has stunted the reading
ability. And finally, the best thing we can do is STUDY THE LAW. This
will keep governments honest.
One problem that is lost on many people is how we resolve conflicts. For
the most part, very few of us know the law. So, when we grow up, we know
how to negotiate and fight. When negotiations break down, we fight -
with guns. If we knew how to handle a simple fender bender or breach
of contract lawsuit as plaintiff or defendant, that gives us one more
avenue for resolving the conflict.
But, since we DON'T know the law, and we are loathe to pay a lawyer his
exhorbitant fees, we don't always have that extra option. Learning the
law, finding its origins, and knowing how to use it will do wonders to
reduce government regulations. There is a loophole everywhere in the
law. It's set up that way so that our elected can stay in office.

So study the law, it's not so bad.
