I challenge all of you to create your own policy papers of your political utopia:

In other words, create a "blueprint" of your American utopia. What would you change, keep, add on or take away?

Here is a very mini-example of what I'm talking about:

Social Security
Americans would have the ability to invest 10% of their government issues social security funds in a number of federally accredited investment options.

Please include your stances on national security, economy/taxes, health care, social issues, foreign policy, energy, etc.

Remember, this is your utopia, so this is the time to be an idealist. I will post mine in due course.


You can submit your policy papers in a number of installments, a pdf or website link, etc. Be detailed!!!

In my political utopia I would be too lazy to write "policy papers" or a "blueprint" in the first place.

Word, lol.

Is it a world government?  Does everyone else agree with me?

No, imagine you are the president and you have the ability to impose your "blueprint," unsure if everyone would agree with you or not-regardless of support, just put down your policies, as extreme (or moderate, or w/e) as they may be.

Something like this, create your "ideal government," your "ideal policies," etc.

I think my original post was poorly worded. When I say utopia, I mean what would your dream policies be (something realistic not like unicorns for every child, something like, internet access in every school), etc.

There are schools without internet?  In 2010?  In the US?

Yes, there are lots of schools, especially smaller ones, and elementary ones without internet access in every classroom.
