With the coming onset of the new year of 2013, I have ten new laws to propose:
It should be illegal to publish any magazine without a crossword puzzle.
A minimum of 120 IQ should be required to qualify to run for congress or the senate, 150 for the presidency.
People should have to pass a test and get licensed before they can own domestic animals such as dogs or cats.
Snowmobiles and jet skis should be illegal.
The tobacco industry should be legislated out of business and growers prompted to grow another crop.
Significant national limitations upon gun purchase and ownership are overdue.
ATVs should be required to have sufficient mufflers installed to reduce the noise level by 50%.
Managerial positions in all governmental bureaucracies should be available only to personnel who have taken and passed specially designed courses in how to manage, how to deal with people, and time management, among other things.
Talking on cell phones in public places should be at least a misdemeanor.
The news media should be required to create AND ENFORCE ethical standards of reporting, with failures deemed felonies.
