The gov't will give a tax credit of $100,00 per year to everyone who doesn't own a car and walks everywhere instead, plus two good pair of walking shoes each year. This will instantly solve all the nations woes:
1. ENVIRONMENT: Less pollution, right? Plus, if you don't own a car, it's harder to shop a lot, which also helps the environment. Best of all- it will shut up those pesky environmentalists :)
2. CRIME: Everyone will be too busy walking to commit crimes.
3. ABORTION: Everyone will be too busy walking to get pregnant.
4. EDUCATION: Everyone will be too busy walking to go to school.
5. FOREIGN POLICY: Ditto numbers 3, 4, and 5
6. HEALTH CARE: Walking alleviates most health issues, including mental ones. Plus the doctors will be too busy walking... well, you get the picture.
7. CIVIL RIGHTS: For the most part, pedestrians are treated poorly, with no regard to gender, race, sexual preference, hair color or economic class. Equality would be instantaneous.
8. BUDGET DEFICIT/GOV'T DEBT: The legislature will be too busy walking to spend money. Plus, since we'll be fighting no more wars, paying for no schools, building no roads, and basically not have much use for the government at all, there won't be much to spend money on.
I personally think it's brilliant.

Someone is going to suggest you walk a plank.
I think you're a closeted anarchist, or at least married to one.
I would have to agree with that, if anarchists are allowed to agree with anything :)
So... the last three entries have made me realize just how dear you are! K
