If You Could Do One Thing...

Hello gingers! A question was recently proposed and it has got me thinking about it a lot.

The question was asked of us in homeroom, and it sparked a lot of debate between the class. The question was simply: If you could do one thing as president, what would you do?

Lots of people said things like "reinstate George Bush" or "cut taxes" which is understandable considering I live in a pretty conservative, small town. My friend and I would discuss between each other after each comment. We would laugh and say why it was a bit odd, or maybe not the best thing in the world to do.

It was fun, because we both share the same views. We also talked about the fact that all these kid's views, are just reflections of what their parent's think and how interesting that is. Even we are just reflections. It's funny to think about.

I said that we should fund NASA again. And then my teacher jokingly was like "You're a strong advocate for space exploration, eh?" So that was pretty great.

I've already typed your eyes off with my thoughts on space exploration so I don't think I need to delve any deeper than that for today.

But I've just been thinking about it for a while now. What if we could all do one thing? Just one thing to make people happier, or ourselves happier. Or both. What if we could warp this warped reality we have?

In this system we have we are just subjected to what people sitting in big offices and getting their suits dry cleaned think. Their decision's, that we have entrusted them with, decide what we get to do in this town, state, country, world. It is up to the whim of what they are feeling that day to give us what we need.

Now, I'm not going all anarchist on you guys or anything, I'm just thinking about how interesting it is.

So I ask you the question. If you could do one thing as president, what would you do? It could be anything. Sydney said she would get a dog. That's a baseline for you.

Keep On Being President,
Rachael The Ginger
