My platform
Cut all funding to religious schools
Remove all forms of religion from the government
Legalize human cloning for medical purposes(ie organs)
Equal civil rights for EVERYONE( the govenment should protect everybody regardless of ethnicity, religion sexual orientation etc, abd no matter what you are, there will always be some jackass in the bible belt that hates you)
Get rid of all stupid laws
Make evolution, a long full year course, on just evolution a mandatory class in all public and private schools
End all envolvment in Isreal, Money saved goes to education
Increase pay for teachers, and give more money to the public school system
Legalize prostitution. I will leave Marajuana(sp) up to the people in the states
Give us back freedom of speech, and the rest of the bill of rights. I will have no fascists in my country
Decrease our dependence on petroleum
Anyone, so long as they can make the grades, can get into college(like the german system)
Tax the hell out of churches
All in all America will become the pluralistic country it was originally intended to be. where free thought is encouraged and everyone is well educated. Sure taxes will be raised but with the taxes on churches....

Just two caveats. The federal government should not have the power to decide what is taught in private schools unless it is fundemantally harmful. Being taught white supremacy is harmful; being taught a crackpot theory about creation is not.
Further, I take issue with 'taxing the hell out of churches'. Churchs should not be taxed any more than any other institution.

Evolution's too complicated to be taught in that much detail at high school level. Anyway, teaching biology as a proper science, and not just stamp collecting, requires a very basic knowledge and acceptance of evolution, so biology as it is taught now should do it. It's just the kids with lunatic paretns that have problems.

You know what i mean. they should simply be taxed. the fact that they own massive amounts of property and take in huge amounts of money each year, simply means that they will be paying a lot of money.
I am simply sick of seeing people with NO knowledge of evolution. " If we all came from monkeys, then why are there still monkeys" drives me insane.

But I did allopatric/parapatric/sympatric speciation as part of A level biology.
Evolution covers the sciences of of biology; geology (which I wasn't taught at school); astrophsyics; genetics; biochemistry; embryology; phyogenetics; archaeology; anthropology.
It's a complex process, and can only be given to schoolkids in a 'lies to children' format. Knowledge of it shouldn't be compulsory, but refuting it without knowledge should be illegal.

My running mate will be my friend Russel Davis, a jack-catholic, evolutionist. Future marine biologist, and truly disturbed individual. He learned to read by using his fathers(a surgeon) medical text-books. He is an insomniac that once stayed up for 72 hours, having audio and visual hallucinations. He also wrote a play detailing an argument between his cerebral cortex and his inner mamalian brain. Once took out a person 3 times his size by jumping on his back like a velocoraptor and going for the Jugular. That will be my VP

This is not always true. My church owns a very small lot and takes in just barely enough money to keep itself running. Taxing churches excessively will result in many churches like mine-and churches like mine make up the vast majority- shutting down. There's thusly a thin line between taxation and interference with freedom of religion.You know what i mean. they should simply be taxed. the fact that they own massive amounts of property and take in huge amounts of money each year, simply means that they will be paying a lot of money.
A much better idea would be to tax the overarching organizations- that is, the Roman Catholic Church as an institution the Council of Mormons, the Presbyterian governing body etc. etc. instead of the individual churches.

I also assume that by 'churches' you include synagouges, mosques, and Wiccan gathering points.

Of course the taxes will be proportonate to the size and wealth of the church, the RC church, and mormons will be paying lots of money, but the small local churches will have no more taxes than they can support

Sorry but I'm voting for Cthulthu
But where it not running for President I'd have issue with the following
Nationalized Heathcare while a good idea on the surface won't work in America with all the deadweights we have on the system
What do I mean? See the Prescription Drug Program being pushed for JUST Seniors on top of thier other Social Security Benfits? It CAN and WILL break SS because it is a multi-BILLION Doller Plus increase
They studied the Hell out of it in 93 and 94 and it was Determined that to pay for a Canidia or Germany like Heath-Care System would cost US Taxpayers between 3%-9% Across the Board Tax Rase, and thats from the sides SUPPORTING the idea, The Anti fokes say it will be closer to 15% while the supposdly Neutral Fokes say normaly 8-11%
Sorry but with this Ecnomeny such a huge tax increase would NOT help(Ever played Sim City? Go from a 2% Tax rate to a 10% rate and see what happens to your city, same idea, though much more complicated here)
The 2001 Numbers are Avaible form the IRS, 50% of the Populas Pays for over 94% of ALL Taxs! Toss in Corperation Taxs and what-not, thats NOT the case in Germany or Canadia, Half of thier popluas is NOT effectly Tax deadweights
But where it not running for President I'd have issue with the following
Nationalized Heath Care in any-shape and form tradtonaly SUCKS, Also The reason Canadia's is in such trouble is the simple fact that the percentage of the Popluation that falls below the Poverty line is much greater than in GermanyNationalized healthcare(modeled after the german system, it works better than canadas system)

Oh and he has this thing for collecting souls. freshman year he went around buying peoples souls. Paid them 20 bucks and they signed a contract promising him their soul. he still has the laminated contracts.
He also tries to "eat peoples brains for power" as he puts it. He got angry at Nick for insulting his girlfriend and gnawed on Nicks skull for 10 minutes, after overpowering him(nick is twice Russells size)

Basic geology is usually taught in junior high school (as part of "Earth Science"), but I remember little of it now.
