NO politics as usual

When I Become King ... political parties will be banned. Voters with an IQ of 100 or more will be required to vote, but only after passing a pre-election test that demonstrates their basic knowledge of the candidates or issues to be voted upon. Those voters will have to make their choices based on something other than political party membership.

Any mention (by the candidate) of their party or religious affiliation will be cause for nullifying their candidacy.

plastic recycling

When I Become King ... Liquid Fabric Softener will be sold only in cardboard "refill" containers.

People have become too accustomed to buying a new plastic container every time they get fabric softener, putting an unnecessary strain on the plastic recyclers. New: this will also apply to liquid laundry soap (currently I know of no companies that sell refills of that consumable).

Young Smokers

When I Become King ... high school students will be tested bimonthly (that's 6x/year for you Math Wizards) for nicotine in their systems, to see who's experimenting with smoking. Those with small amounts will be required to stay after school for an hour. Moderate amounts -- 2 hours a day. Heavy smokers -- an extra 4 hours a day. .. and they cannot smoke during this "imprisonment".

Funding for guards and "prison facility" will come from (even higher) taxes on cigarettes.

If anything can keep kids from making this stoopid choice - smoking - it's a restriction of their freedom.

memo to the American Tobacco Farmers: you're little more than mass murderers. You had the choice of planting something edible, or something that kills. Deal with it.
