I’m sure everyone in this country has wanted, at least a bit, to be president. What if you got the chance? Would you take it? And if you did, what would you do in your new position? There are quite a few possibilities, way too many to cover here, so I’ll breeze through a few. Among them would be the following: What is America’s current position, and how would I fix it in my new position? And, most importantly, how I would help the people. So, here is what I would do if I were President.
Before I can show how I would make America “better”, I must first outline what America’s current state of being is. So basically, America is run by the President and solely the President. You may be thinking “What about the two other branches of government?” When America is in a state of emergency, the president has the ability to pass laws without having to go through Congress. America has been in this state for ages now (since WWII), and although I don’t know what’s going on behind the scene, I personally think that the emergency state should have been lifted quite some time ago. But the point is, it wasn’t, and we’re still in a “state of emergency”. This means anytime the President wants, he can pass a law without it going through Congress. Not only is this dangerous, it could be abused, passing laws that have absolutely nothing to do with America’s current state of war. How I would rectify this is simple enough… I would just lift the state of emergency. This would return America to a system of checks and balances.
That would fix a big problem, but after that I would do a few more things which I think would make life better. First off, there would be better border control. People keep coming into America just so they can take advantage of the national benefits. I’m all for immigration, I just prefer the legal way.
A couple of other things that I would also like to change are, in a way, contradictory to each other. I would ban and outlaw all invasion of privacy of the people, such as spying on calls, email, and other aspects of life. A person’s life should be their business, not the government’s. At the exact same time, I would increase public security. Monuments, parks, court houses, town halls, and all places like that would be better controlled and monitored. There’s an unsaid rule, that when you leave your house you’re willingly giving up some privacy. I wouldn’t quite make it where you’re constantly being watched outside of your house, but places that are important and that a lot of people use should definitely have some form of protection.
I would definitely designate a large portion of my term to helping out the people of this country. I would help make everyday life better, safer, and more free. Like I said above, I would outlaw all spying on a person’s personal life and matters. This includes email, phone calls, everything. I would also get in touch with car companies, and work with them on creating safer and more efficient cars, that will last longer and not break down as easily. And while I’m on the subject of cars, I would seriously consider motorcycle road laws. I don’t think I would outlaw them, just make people have to take a course on safety. I mean seriously, they’re bikes with motors strapped to them, does that seem even a little dangerous to anyone? But everyone has their opinion, so, once again, I wouldn’t outlaw them. To sum it all up, I’d make the road safer, in every way possible.
Finally, I would try my best to lower the taxation upon your average person. You have to be careful when toying with the economy, but I’m sure that the government has a bunch of wasteful spending. I would lower the spending so I could lower the taxes to keep someone from going totally broke, but still keep people paying what it takes to run the government. And as the conditions change, so would the taxation. So when the nation is doing good, I would lower the tax rate.
I hope if I ever actually run for President, you’ll vote for me!
bank security, for example, I could keep an eye out for suspicious characters, robbers, and more. I would most certainly become employee of the month in no time. If I joined an intelligence agency, I could help stop many of the various crimes that could harm people and property.
I would probably want to live somewhere out in the middle of nowhere. Somewhere with nice scenery. It would be creepy seeing people outside of my house, even if they couldn’t see me. Probably some deserted island or long forgotten plain where no one would disturb me. There is one problem with this, and that would be food and supplies. If you live on a deserted island, I’m pretty sure you won’t find a Wal-Mart or Dollar General down the road. I’m not sure how I would solve this problem, other than get a taste for fish, and eat fish for the rest of my life.
To start off the long night, I would probably have a Nerf war. I would break out the big guns and go hunt down other people with my chain gun, offering them the chance to join me. But if they refused they would have to be… removed from the game. You may be wondering, why I was trying to recruit men to join me? Well, there’s bound to be someone else in the store also doing the same thing. In the end, both teams would have a huge battle in 
To finish mastering Photoshop is also a goal of mine. I’ve been able to do a lot of the stuff needed to use Photoshop for a long time. I’ve created some great photos, but there are still some aspects that baffle me. For instance, the 3D aspect, as well as creating styles and effects. All of these are valuable in creating great and wonderful pictures, and I’m looking forward to learning all of these and becoming a professional user.
Contrary to what you might be thinking, macro photography is not taking pictures of large things (Like the word “macro” implies), It’s actually taking pictures of small things and making them appear big. I’ve actually been working on this for a while and I’m pretty good at it, but I’m planning on getting even better. I learned almost everything I know about photography at lynda.com, and I recommend it to anyone who is new to or just wants to learn more about photography. (
Another small thing that interests me is getting to know my surroundings better. By that I basically mean taking more days off and going to do random fun stuff in my general area. Here in Tennessee, we might not have the Grand Canyon, but we still have some cool stuff, we’ve got mountains, caves, underground lakes, and more. No, I certainly don’t plan on visiting them all but a few would be nice.
