They are old now, but any of the assertions that America will be better off for electing and re-electing George W. Bush. ---

I actually tried to craft my suggestions so that they were loony yet plausible, just on the line of what a wacko tea bagger might actually say, pushed just a bit over the line. Remarkably, you don’t have to alter the original much for it to come across as loony. But yes!!! My first amendment rights are being violated! Help! Help! I’m being oppressed! ---

It should become instead an object lesson in “Be careful what you wish for, you might get it”. They should vote instead that the Republicans should make laws to put into effect EVERY SINGLE suggestion that they receive on that site 😃 ---

Small business owners around this great nation are struggling under the burden imposed upon them by the ADA. Build an elevator in a two-story building? I’ll take the stairs thank you very much. This type of overreach is not only a burden on the small business owner but a danger to the disabled: they can’t use the stairs and an elevator in a fire is a death-trap; solution: keep 'em on the first floor for their own sake. ---

> [@](#): > > I think all americans should bathe in Nuclear Waste. This has been shown to be an effective tactic in the past of transforming the human body into something more powerful and superhuman. With a nation of powerful mutants, not only would we prevent ourselves from being invaded, we would have a wildly powerful offense with millions able to fly, shoot lasers from their eyes and take bullets. Ninja Cats would still prove to be a problem. I’m glad the national security problems have now been solved. Soon as we address the Ninja Cats, we will be unassailable 🙂 ---

> [@Steve MB](#): > > Offer tax credits to companies that manufacture the device and consumers that buy and use it. Sorry for the necro, but I just found this thread (and it’s the first I’ve heard about the site). This would be awful though. A perpetual motion device would eventually reach market saturation and then there’d be an egalitarian monopoly: zero competition. That’s why John Galt destroyed his prototype and Ayn Rand refused to give the details. After all, we hold that rich white landowners were created equal and that for them to come out on top, they have to stand on the shoulders of those sucking on the teat of the nanny state - or something. From each, according to hierarchy, to each, depending on campaign contributions - blessed are the job creators. Amen. ---
