Given today’s ruling, I have some plans for new mandates:
1) Since the right to bear arms is universal, every American will be required to purchase at least one handgun and one long gun and a supply of ammunition (exact quantities to be determined later). Americans will of course have the right to opt out of this. But those who opt out will:
A) Be required to pay an annual fine tax penalty of $5000. The proceeds will be used to pay for the judicial system.
B) Be required to register with the government. This will include the requirement that they post, at their own expense, announcements in the classifieds of their local newspapers and post signs in their front yards or on their front doors explaining that “this home is unarmed.”
2) Since freedom of the press is universal, every American will be required to purchase the collected works of L. Neil Smith, Robert Heinlein, Ayn Rand, Charles Darwin, James Randi and H.P Lovecraft.
3) Since the need for oxygen is universal, every American will be required to own and live on at least 1/2 acre of their own property that is used for growing of plants, or otherwise pay a fine equivalent to the power bill of Al Gores mansion. High-density urban public housing units will be converted into empty fields.
