If you were the president of the United States or ruler of your country, what are some changes you would make to it?

If I was president of my own country, I would like corruption to end, as usual. But history tells me that almost all of the presidents of the Philippines either ended their careers in a plane crash or with a reputation of being corrupt. Of course, the totality of the government is no exception either. We have thick-faced politicians there. Perhaps being president of my country is not the best option. :p There's also something about Filipino culture which is directed towards self-destruction, so I'd better get out of here while I can.

If I were president of the US, the first thing i'd be doing is legalizing chronic!

If I were president of the US I'd make it mandatory for second language instruction to start at elementary school.

If I was president of the US, I would change a lot of things!

1.  Gun laws:  The United States is the easiest place to obtain a gun.  All you need is to have a permit to carry one and not be a convicted felon and you can buy one.  This has come back to bite us on numerous occassions however.  One example occured last year, when in a university in my native Virginia, a guy snapped and killed 30 people.  When the police caught him, he turned the gun on himself.

If I was president, weapons would be divided into two categories:

Class A: Lethal weapons, weapons that can take a life.  Only the police, military and other authority figures would be allowed to have these.
Class B:  Non-lethal weapons, weapons that can't kill but can cause severe pain, examples include tasers, bb guns, paintball guns, etc.  Anyone could have these.

I would also change our measuring system to metrics.  As far as I know, the United States is the only country that still uses the English system.  The metric is so much easier to convert because it is based on the number 10.

Here, gas prices are almost $4 a gallon, I would try to find some alternate fuel or lower gas prices.

Ahh tough one.

Can a BBgun or Paintball gun be strong enough to kill an animal?
