Their is a difference between respecting others beliefs then having to accept those beliefs as your own. There has been a discussion in NYC public schools about adding Islamic holidays as days off for the school calendar. If we continue to cancel school for different religions children will eventually start their own religion that has holidays Mon-Friday from 7:30-4:30 PM (a bit of an exaggeration) but I think you know where I’m going. Yet how do we insure that we don’t trample on others faith without pushing that observance on others that don’t belief.
(1) Start each school day with information on a holiday or special occasion that might occur on that day.
(2) Allow students who celebrate such a holiday the day off without any penalty. If they had a test or homework assigned for that day give them extra days to make it up.
(3) Insure that all students not only respect each others faiths but also understand the basics of these faiths.
If we truly want to fight corruption in our political system we must insure the same competition that occurs in the free market system occurs in our political system. This can only occur if we modify the current system by instituting term limits (see specs below) and have open primaries for local offices. We also must make sure that before a judge can run for office that there qualifications are certified by a board made up of individuals from diverse political backgrounds. Finally we must rotate those who work for the government to different agencies that can utilize their talents to insure that these agencies stay fresh with new blood and new ideas. Please note this is only step 1. Please tell me what you think about this plan.
Term Limits
(1) You can only serve two consecutive terms in the Senate and then have to sit out for at least one electoral cycle before you can run or be appointed for any political office. During the time that you sit out you can not participate in any paid lobbying activity.
(2) You can only serve four terms in the House (8 years) and all conditions above apply.
(3) Term limits should also apply to all local and state offices as well as Presidents of any political party with the same conditions noted above.
Imagine a store and/or website that sells items that have either been discontinued or have failed in their start-up. This store would give businesses a 2nd chance to hit the market and also give a home to those products that have a special meaning to the consumer but maybe not the marketplace. Items would be purchased on a consignment basis so the only cost to the actual store would be the space it would be give up while the website would charge a token fee and get a cut on the actual sale that is made. So if you’re into 2nd chances why don’t you join me on this venture
