What would it be (if non-gun-related)?

I'm asking for non-gun-related laws you'd change.  I realize 99% of us would rid the world of 99% of gun laws.

I would make "stupid" a crime.  Of course there would be varying degrees.  Misdemeanor stupid would be punishable by a swift kick in the ass.  Felony stupid might require a more severe ass beating, perhaps even incarceration.  Captial stupid would of course be shot on the spot.

Those who served their sentance would have to register as "convicted stupid offenders" after their release.  We would track these CSO's by their "signs".  If a CSO was caught not carrying their sign, that of course would be a violation of their parole which would be felony stupid.

Really I think all would benefit from these laws.

Oh yeah, the first person I would find guilty are those people who want to leaglize pot because they believe it's so harmless.

Stupidity is not a crime now, but it rarely goes unpunished.  Look around.

Change the FCC commercial broadcasting laws to ensure free access of the people for educational and political material.

This is the most important ammendment in the Bill of Rights even more so than the seond amendment.

The monopolized press must be done away with and the first amendment restored and that includes freedom of religion and to express it as originally intended by the 1st A.

I can understand the need for eminent domain, but it should come at a premium, say fair market value +20%.  If the "people" "need" the property that badly, then 20% extra should not be an issue.

Some Cable stations already have free access channels, this could also be done with free access bands but would exclude open commerce.
