This is a question B3TA fixes the world

Moon Monkey says: Turn into Jeremy Clarkson for a moment, and tell us about the things that are so obviously wrong with the world, and how they should be fixed. Extra points for ludicrous over-simplification, blatant mis-representation, and humourous knob-gags.

I can't wait!
Although I'll need a month's notice, pompous title and licorice on tap.

In response:

1) Tally sticks?

a) But what about desert regions where resources are scarce and storage of any perishable goods difficult? Relocation of those populaces to Venus project cities (http://www.thevenusproject.com/). Does everyone want to live in a city?

b) I'm with you comrade.


2) Those religious folk will have a ball. But I hear you.


3) The problem is who holds accountability... it is true that government should be servants of the people, and that an independent body should be able oversee that all is done by the current government in a transparent and honest way - but look at the current Stateside system... I wonder whether the Founding Fathers would be happy.

4) Comprised of? Piers, as in the case of the House of Lords. Ex-government officials who may have already had their moral compasses turned?

b) But how much faith do we hold in 'reasonable doubt'... would Amanda Knox be stripped (albeit she's not a corrupt official!). And what would happen to the dependents of those stripped? Equally, who would want to be an investigative journalist given the potential repercussions of not only those exposed by the draconian/1984 punishment.

d) Fair enough.

6) Yes, I agree... and I was brought up in a single-parent council house.

7) But if we are really going to banish poverty and disparity based on geography (because of course you and will be handed this remit any day now), then we have to treat everyone the same regardless of where they originated. If there are holes in the system from the start then they will be exaggerated over time.

8) What about those who are not good under exam conditions or late bloomers? Also would you not get specialist schools based on profession, and therefore an unequal education system. What if say you or I were born to climb palm trees, but going to school in Leeds we were never offered the opportunity. Alternatively, if our school offered Palm Tree climbing classes but I had no inclination to climb trees would I not be better ploughing my energy into something I have an aptitude for?

9) While I agree in principle, "irrespective of parents wishes" makes it sounds very Aldous Huxley's A Brave New World.

10) Seems sensible.

11) i) Again though, I'd ask who would form these independent bodies and review their actions... albeit I think it makes sense.

ii) Ha! OK.

iii) Fair enough - though rapists get off a bit easy.

iv) But those who've let fines built up are generally lazy... that said disproportionate fines are wrong.

12) OK.

13) Why not just get rid of 'the poor' then... strychnine in chicken nuggets? Easier to kill of the middle classes though - you still need jobs done. Isn't that what the NWO, Rockefeller, Rothschild lot, our "lizard masters" want anyway? *gasp* You're a shape shifter aren't you!!!
