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.
