    The first law would be the first amendment, word for word, however i would strategically place caps so everyone knew what the hell i meant.


    1. Congress shall MAKE NO LAW RESPECTING AN ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

    2. Gun ownership is a responsibility, not an inherent right, if you're not responsible, i will take your guns away from you, from your cold dead hands if you prefer.

    3. Churches are not allowed to sell alcohol. Any legal seller of alcohol who refuses to sell alcohol on Sunday, loses their liquor licence.

    4. Abortions are not only legal during the 1st trimester of pregnancy, they are free.

    5. If we invade a country, it's because it's up for statehood, whether they want it or not. No more financing foreign wars that gain us nothing but dead heroes, unless there is proof of atrocities committed, in which case we'll support organizations like NATO and the U.N. as our treaties are constitutionally binding.

    7. All citizens get all civil rights. Any government institution can not be defined to fit your xenophobic narrative of the world.

    8. The only form of Voter restrictions tolerated are I.Q. tests, and valid state ID. Persons failing I.Q. tests aren't allowed to vote. Person's who can't spend 20 minutes getting a state ID, but can spend 20 minutes registering to vote, fail the IQ test by default. Subsequently, persons with post graduate degrees in a field of Economics or Political science, get two votes.

    9. douchebaggery is a punishable offense. This pretty much covers every crime you need to punish people for, including false imprisonment of a pot head.

    10. The Braves win every world series, period end of discussion.

  • Hello. America... 2012/06/05 20:42:01

    Wonderful question, but I smell a flame war. There are some pretty radical ideas floating around out there, to some of which I subscribe.

    Jesus had the best law..

    “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
    ~John 13:34-35

    Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
    ~Matthew 22:35-41
