How to Improve Life for Black People in America

Part of my campaign platform if I was running for president:

1) Change the welfare laws to reward families with both parents instead of punishing them.

2) School choice...vouchers and charter schools. Major emphasis on vocational tech rather than "everyone will go to college".

3) Restore the role of faith...reach out to Black churches and have them do outreach in the innercities. Create a modified version of the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts (and brownies and Girl Scouts) that focuses on morals and urban rather than rural skills. Get companies to fund this rather than pay off Sharpton, Jackson et al.

4) Push back against the thug culture that is glorified by popular media. Dare to be uncool.

5) End illegal immigration, and encourage illegal aliens to self deport, by making it impossible to work, and difficult to live. tax any remittances to Mexico at a rate of 25%.  increase that by 10% every five years.We have no obligation towards illegal immigrants, legal or moral. I would propose changing our immigration and citizenship laws to mirror Mexico's....not because I would actually do it, but to put the hypocrisy of Mexico in the open.

6) Teach our children restraint, self discipline and delayed gratification. Protect the lives of the unborn, and restrict abortion to the small number of cases in which the woman's life truly is at physical risk.

7) Get the police out of their cars and walking a beat. More local police sub stations.

Star Trek - The Original Series Season 1 Episode 1: The Man Trap

Star date 1513.1

They use the transporter right away. The sacrificial red shirt is actually wearing a blue shirt. McCoy's first "He's dead Jim", only I didn't hear the "he's". Uhura flirting with Spock. Pistol style phasers. Salt monster who shape shifts.

Star date 1513.4

Another 2 sacrificial red shirts..only one's wearing a blue shirt and the other a gold shirt We get a "He's dead", no 'Jim" this time. Hmm...why couldn't they tell one of them was an alien when they beamed back up? The first appearances of Yeoman Rand and Sulu. Another dead guy, this one on the ship and wearing some weird uniform.

Star date 1513.8

They're using the communicators like flip phones. Apparently something happens between now and star date 1513 that wipes out the buffalo. First mention of warp speed.

2 "he's dead Jim"s (sort of)

4 dead crewmen

Richard Nixon

Could someone remind me again why the Democrats hate Nixon so much, and why he was so evil? Hell if he had a "D" after his name instead of an "R", the Democrats would be trying to get his face on Mt. Rushmore.

Nixon normalized relations with Communist China. Surely the Democrats were/are happy about that.

Nixon ended the Vietnam War and the draft. Surely the Democrats were/are happy about that.

Nixon began detente with the Soviet Union, and signed the first strategic arms limitation treaty with them. Surely the Democrats were/are happy about that.

Nixon imposed wage and price controls on the U.S. economy. Surely the Democrats were/are happy about that.

Nixon took us off the gold standard. Surely the Democrats were/are happy about that.

Nixon created the Environmental Protection Agency. Surely the Democrats were/are happy about that.
