Don't tell me you are going to Disneyland. What would you do with all that power? :scared:

Use it for good or for selfish purposes?

1. Who says you can't do both?
I have unlimited power, but limited desires. I could fulfill my desires, all the while using the rest of that power to do good. A win for everybody (especially for me :P )

2. Extraordinary render a boatload of neocons
To, say, a Turkish prison. And videotape it for YouTube.

Put in my flat tax. Bust up the media and oil conglomerates.

Remove the term "marriage" from the legal code, replace it with "civil union", and make it open to all adults regardless of gender.

Legalize pot, same standards as alcohol. Release all prisoners only in jail for possession of pot.

Legalize hard drugs in "cafés" or something. Release all prisoners only in jail for possession of hard drugs.

Legalize brothels. Mandatory frequent physical exams for sex worker.

Medicare for all.

Repeal NAFTA.

Process all illegal immigrants in the country. Non-wanted-criminal ones can stay after paying a $5,200 fine. $520 a year for ten years, paid through their 1040 tax form. Clamp down hard on illegal employers. Maintain immigration rates, but focus instead on non-latino nations, especially where hardship is occuring. Like Darfur, Palenstine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Lebanon, etc.

Date Jessica Alba. Or Jessica Biel. Or Jennifer Gardner. Or Kari Byron. Or any combination thereof.

3. Damn... it is good to be the King!
That's almost everything I would do. :applause:

In addition I would:

Pass a Constitutional Amendment that repeals all aspect of Corporate Personhood.

Get our military out of Iraq, and put the US Army to patrolling the US / Mexico border.

Repeal all guns laws that prohibit the possession of non-NFA weapons by ordinary citizens. Require all states to have "Shall Issue" CCW Laws with complete reciprocity of all States. No local preemption permitted, none.
