  1. Take the curiosity out of guns.

    I know Meanie already knows this, but it cannot be emphasized enough for others! Go for it Keith, just make sure she can't get it by herself.

  2. Sort of. It was limited to young, single men and the money went to their parents. In it's form, it worked very well. Only reason it doesn't exist still is because the depression was ending, leaving less unemployed, and the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, sending us into war.

    I couldn't remember specifics of it. I do know my mom's dad was in it.

  3. This is sooo true! Bugs Bunny, Transformers, GI Joe, etc... Saturday mornings were the best!

    I forget what channel, but when my daughter is watching cartoons, they have the old Mickey Mouse "short" cartoons. The 5 minute ones in between shows. I'm kind of surprised they still air them.

  4. - Cut all forms of welfare and unemployment. Instead of just sending them a check, put them to work on public works projects. Our infrastructure is crumbling. Bridges, levies, highways, dams, etc are all in need of rebuilding. This idea works. It's been proven. Any decent human would rather be paid for work done than given a handout. We have lots of public works projects needing workers, and we have lots of workers needing work, lots of whom we're already paying. This one really solves itself. You want an unemployment check? Go pick up litter on the side of the road, help sandbag a river, help stop a forest fire, help build a school, etc and we'll pay you for it. Not only will this get needed things done, it'll discourage those trying to abuse the system. It's a win win.

    Wasn't this tried before? The Civilian Conservation Corps?
