My Utopian World part 1
Regular readers will know that every now & then I make a throw away comment about my fantasy Utopian world, where I am supreme lord and ruler, loved & trusted to legislate on all issues for everyone:-)
So I thought you might be interested in some of the laws that apply in MrsAginothLand, public consultation/comments are always welcome (although obviously not necessarily acted upon!)
Naturally, this land is not perfect, and bears a remarkable similarity to the real world, so the context of these laws is here, tomorrow.
If I were elected tomorrow, the first laws passed would be on home issues:
Frieght & Commercial Goods should not be transported by road if any other alternative is available. No frieght road journeys should be longer than 50 miles.
This one tackles congestion, environmental concerns and the "local produce" lobby. It is specifically based on UK geography, due to the comparitively small distances, dense population & variety of other transportation options available (rail, sea, canal, air etc)
All intoxicating substances may only be sold& imbibed in licensed premisis. No-one may leave the premisis until medically confirmed clear of all effects.
This one solves all the drug legalisation debates, offers a fair price to farmers, removes the worry of dealers cutting drugs with other chemicals, and removes all drink/drug related crime/violence etc.
next installment will deal with immigration & education!

H'mmm...I think some would take your rule about "not being allowed to leave the licensed premises until medically confirmed clear of all effects" as just an excuse to stay in the pub 24-7...and seeing as Brits will be able to do just that very soon, it may just come true!
LOL
Thanks for visiting today!

Ah, but the problem with staying in the pub 24/7 is the requirement to pay for it!
In my utopian world......well, that's another installment, but lets just say very few people would have the time and money ti hang around in licenced premises for very long:-)

Funnily enough....... they used to use them for something like that... until they invented steam.. or was it the internal combustion engine... They go to the heart of most cities too....

You know, last year, a bunch of people got together & said something aboiut using the canals for frieght again.
Guess what?
The british Canal boat association (or something) formed a lobby complaining that such use would spoil the canals for legitimate pleasure craft & just cause congestion on the canals instead of the roads.
oh yes, & bugger their nice little earner selling narrowboats as homes.

Sounds good to solve the concerns. Now, how shall we enforce and ensure compliance? :-)

Well thought out and probably as a good a solution as any. I am waiting to here about immigration and education.
Sorry about not getting the job. I am hoping the perfect one shows up in January.
Michele sent me.
