~ WHY I SHOULD BE KING ~

Yeah, I'm thinking outside the box...Because the box has been through about 25 eBay transactions - and it has met with some of UPS's worst. I'm not so sure the box is usable, as is.

For once again we have Tyrannosaurus and Stegosaurus, battling it out (for the office of President). Meanwhile, an awful lot of mammals with higher brain functions are waiting for the future to get started. By this analogy, we need a great big fiery external (meteor) from the sky to wipe out the over-sized, living anachronisms, so the more refined life forms can move ahead...It will probably happen, at that.

Yes, it's two archaic, oversized, cold-blooded, reptilian, small-brained, selfish political parties and their representatives -- and a primary process that does a healthy job of eliminating options and candidates with real merit, while spending absolute fortunes. And there is a constant resistance at the top and at the grassroots level, to even PERMIT growth towards a new party. We are condemned to go in little circles in our playground...We need to graduate! Our nation needs to go to "University" before the "tuition" is more than we can afford.

This familiar molasses-slow, circular "advancement" is useless and threatens our existence. For faster action, we need someone who CAN and WILL do what MUST be done; unencumbered by shackles of partisan obstruction:

A KING!! A King is empowered to do what is necessary!

Calm down, let's examine this...OK, obviously, the king needs to be elected, because as much as the Bushs, Kennedys, and the Clintons would like it, we don't have nobility dynasties. (Though we seem to migrate rather lovingly toward them.) For our recovery experiment, we ELECT A KING, for a four-year term. Hell, let's make it TWO years. At that point, they are voted back in or out. How's this: they received NO pay, with no cash on the way out. It is an exercise in devotion, or wisdom, or perversion. Perversion would be, well...the NORM at this point, so that wouldn't even be that damaging; but the wisdom and effectiveness possibility would be exhilarating!

So, a new Amendment: you can vote for a new option - a two-year king. This "wild card" option will give us an escape route from profound gridlock and insanity.

Now clearly this is a great gamble, but desperation is the mother of invention. We have a lot to do and need to act fast; it is not possible to resolve enormous problems with our gigantic bureaucratic system of checks and balances, driven by childish strategists who simply CANNOT bring themselves to permit success by their opposing party. It is a stalemate folks; and it's NOT going to resolve or "iron out"!

The whole realm of a King is an interesting affair. Don't be mistaken; a good King is far superior to a good President, or Prime Minister. The difficulty is that a BAD king is far worse than almost any option, and it can be such nasty business getting rid of them, once they show up. This would be accordingly addressed; should there be a terrible king, they won't be around for long! If they are really disastrous, another king (wild card) could quickly rectify the errors. Nothing needs to be inevitable or inescapable. Also, a king who really goes nuts can get beheaded (goes with the territory). In this model, revolt or assassination equals checks and balances. It is a strong incentive to perform with excellence.

Our new king will be free to do most anything he wants -- except extend his term! This general freedom from obstruction is a TRUE FREEDOM we've forgotten even exists! It is dangerous, but powerful; and as such, may offer the U.S. the keys to overclock our grasp for solutions to problems that will NEVER politely wait for us to "catch up" with them.

We almost have Kings right now. George Washington himself was positioned and regarded closer to a King than what we now perceive as Presidential. The Supreme Court is no less than a schizophrenic, Sybil-esque king (that is forced to share its rule with an arch bishop and parliament, or so). And those are lifetime appointments - not so gorgeous.

My goal, as your potential King, is to save the nation. We shall expedite considered and well crafted reforms. We will divide government in half. (We should eliminate two thirds, but we'll start at half.) That will raise some unemployment; but we can cut taxes - by a lot. And that will give birth to industry. And there will be room for industrious labor, because illegals are out. Sorry folks - you have to go home, the party crashing is over. We can't clean up our house with all these guests using the kitchen and bathroom. Orientation toward energy independence would happen NOW, and earnest alternative energy strategy would start TONIGHT. The U.N. would relocate to France, where it belongs, and the French will pickup the check; and get all the credit (blame) for the rare occasions when the U.N. actually DOES something (also dumping all that "diplomatic immunity" shit in their lap). Serious criminals would "enjoy" serious handling. We won't need damaging strip-mining to get at our coal resources; as murderers, rapists, and child-molesters will be exploring our rediscovery of the chain-gang. I would also tidy up numerous small but useful realms; Tipping will be banned. Copyright law will be reformed and re-orient toward the individual (the public domain will be restored!) Beyond a certain threshold, performers like Madonna will no longer RECIEVE money when their "product" is in your ears, but instead will have to pay YOU (the "saturation dividend" we'll call it).

This site is dedicated to the pursuit of some inescapable correction to a system that has turned on itself and perverted its goals so severely. This site's blogs are a public square to further develope and clarify the nuances and dilemmas surrounding the options of real change and real strategy. Please feel invited to participate. In addition, I have rounded the edges of this site with some tidbits of distraction for amusement and adoration - or ridicule. Waste your time with it, or pass - but do VOTE this election,

For KING DAVID CAUL.

I thank you.
