Good Samaritan laws work well in other countries- passerby's are legally obligated to render whatever assistance they can to those in severe distress; one cannot just walk away from another's dire plight.

The end result of a law ought to be considered- you might object that its an unecessary governmental intrusion into a persons life to force them to be 'Good Samaritans.' But since screwed up people are legion, without positive governmental influence, the end result would be more pain for the community.

Government is just an aggregate of individuals who set policy and write laws.


All ex-officials should be prohibited from engaging in lobbying on the behalf of major corporations.

The Feds ought to 'pull' the charters of Exxon, Monsanto, Citibank, Walmart, Merck,...

The raft of proposals i have listed within these pages can be enacted several ways

1. through a constitutional convention-(too hard and risky)
2. citizen action at the state level, when the voters actually become the legislature- referendums, etc. ( wont work in most cases- Federal law always trumps state law)
3. convincing congress to sponsor a bill-(can only happen if enough people scrape the calluses off their collective ass and threaten to vote their reps out of office
4. collect millions of dollars and run for office yourself( has to happen everywhere to even have a slight chance of working)
5. secede,

Currently, Vermont has the best shot at sucessfully breaking away from the national government- after all, they were once independent, from 1777 to 1791. Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys fought the British AND the Colonial forces during the Revolution...Hundreds of Vermonters today are organizing to form the second Vermont Republic....

Things can be done on the local level to improve the situation- Green party candidates have won seats on city councils and then have instituted roadless rules or areas, banning the building of more highways in their region....
Running for sheriff, the school boards, state delegates, etc. offer the best opportunities for reform, as long as the current national monopolistic clique continues to have a deathgrip on our collective psyche.....

6. General Strike and Revolution
