2 Answers1 week agoYou have you own country, and can make all the rules, how would you govern?
the economy, the justice system, social justice, state vs federal separations, and any other issues you care to comment on would help in better understanding the kind of country you would want to have.
Personally, the American system is a good model as a base but there are some obvious changes and clarifications that I would make. The President would have less power, but mostly be an administrator. The Supreme Court appointments would be automatic, where every President at beginning of each new term gets one appointment, no Senate approval hearing need take place, though they can have one if they want to expose a problem they see or examine it. The second Amendment matter would be clarified to make sure gun lunacy does not take over as it has now in the US. The economy would be capitalistic but with strong checks and balances in various ways to control ridiculous wealth growth while most people become poorer and poorer. Some of that extreme wealth would be steered towards helping the entire country more, better education system, colleges, health care etc... Police would not be able to operate like a bunch of judge dredd executioners and be accountable for their actions. They would get paid more for the risk they take but they would have to have more courage and better training and judgment and ethics.
The American system is a good base to start with and from that base something truly great has the potential of developing. That would be my goal, to make us better.

Its like ok this freedom is 100% guaranteed, and maintaining that position even as there are clear and obvious evidence that the freedom is abused and even is clearly harming our society. Must we keep going and literally follow these fools over the cliff and plunge into our national destruction?
2 Answers1 week agoBrett Favre displays the ignorance of whites who want to live with blinders on pretending that things that do not effect them do not exist?
Favre said, "When I turn on a game, I want to watch a game. I want to watch players play and teams win, lose, come from behind. I want to watch all the important parts of the game, not what's going on outside of the game."
There it is.......The tone deafness wreaks. Of course you do not want to know what is going on in the world around you Favre. You know why? because its not about harming you and your loved ones...........selfishness and racism personified. And I bet you if you had asked Favre if he is a racist, he would profusely deny the accusation. Yes Favre you are, for you do not have to be card carrying member of the Klan to be one, your wanting to bury your head in the sand about it makes you just as bad.
