Greetings: Here are 20 simple ideas for making the world a better place. #1 Solar Powered Desalinization - Change Seawater into Drinking Water

Solar Desalinization Diagram - gvan42

1. We ought to build a giant solar power desalinization plant in Southern California. Convert Seawater into drinking water, salt and electricity.  It would use solar reflectors to boil seawater and create steam. That steam would be used to drive turbines and create electricity. When the water cools it condenses into pure H2O and salt. The water would be sold to people for drinking, washing, watering livestock and watering plants. The salt could be sold or returned to the ocean if there are not enough customers... Camp Pendleton near San Diego would be an ideal location. Southern California is in need of water. There is a current proposal to use pipelines to move fresh water from the Sacramento River to be used by farmers and residents in SoCal. An alternative would be to just get the water from the ocean... There is an engineering break thru using solar power to pump the water out of the ocean but using membranes to do the purification. That's the same technology that is used in those drinking water dispensers you see out front of Liquor Stores.

We should also stop watering lawns in California. It's a cultural norm that is not practical in a state that is suffering drought. What if it became fashionable to have rock gardens or cactus? That's what they do in Arizona...

2. Convert human fat into electricity using exercise bicycle power generators. The kinetic energy created by people pedaling can be converted into electricity by using an alternator, diode and battery. Many people use stationary bicycles for exercise and these currently unused sources of power could be used to create electricity. People could sell the electricity to the power company.

3. We ought to cut spending at the Department of Defense and use the money for valuable projects. Simply stop the wars in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Africa and all those secret locations. Bring the soldiers and the weapons home. We currently waste a vast fortune on wars that accomplish nothing. We could spend the trillions currently wasted on Medicare for all, infrastructure, teacher's salaries or school supplies. Remember that the US Military has not DEFENDED the USA since 1945. We have only invaded other countries... Often, our invasions cause disaster. For Example: When we helped Saddam Hussein become President and then blew up Iraq. Not a brilliant idea. Then we left stockpiles of weapons that were stolen by ISIS, Arming Terrorists. If we had just stayed home we could have saved six trillion dollars... The War in Afghanistan is impossible to win. Why not "Declare Victory", bring the troops home and have big parades?

4. We ought to legalize and tax marijuana nationwide. Release all cannabis prisoners. This would reduce government spending and increase VOLUNTARY taxes collected. The prisoners could spend their time working for a living and supporting their own families. That would reduce the costs of welfare and food stamps.

5. We ought to impeach Trump. He is taking the country in the wrong direction. His agenda is to cut taxes for the rich and reduce pollution control costs in corporations. He wants to increase drilling for oil, gas and coal mining. That causes more pollution. Burning fossil fuels causes global warming. Climate Change will make large parts of the USA uninhabitable. The Gulf Coast and the East Coast will have hurricanes every year. The destruction will become more than we are able to repair.

6. We ought to fund basic research into clean energy projects. Better electric cars, solar energy, wind energy and wave/tidal power plants. Better batteries... Better air conditioners... We are fighting for our lives. This should be funded like The Manhattan Project of World War Two or the Moon Landing.

The Path Forward... Simple Suggestions for Making the World a Better Place to Live... Let's Heal America... Please Share These Ideas...

#1. Tax the Rich, Cut Taxes for the 99%. All that Extra Money in People's Paychecks will Bubble UP Throughout The Entire Economy. Raise the Minimum Wage to $15.00 and Increase All Social Security Checks by 15% 

#2. Flip the Mission of the EPA to Protecting the Environment not Enabling Polluters. Throw OUT All Corrupt Officials...

#3. End Federal Subsidies for Oil and Gas. Start Subsidizing Solar and Wind. Create a "Manhattan Project" to Do Basic Research into Better Batteries... and Solar Powered Desalinization... We Need Clean Drinking Water... 

#4. Increase Federal Spending on Our Crumbling Infrastructure. We Can Pay For It By Cutting Defense Spending In Half. Remember: Since 1945, The US Military Has Never Defended The Country. NOT EVEN ONCE. All Those Taxpayer Dollars are Just BOGUS Welfare for The Military Industrial Complex... 

#5. Start Training Classes For the Police So They Stop Murdering Unarmed Black People. This One Simple Trick Will Save Billions of Dollars Currently Wasted on Rebuilding Cities from Riots! There Simply Will Not BE Riots! and No Million Dollar Settlements With the Family of the Murder Victim. DUH!

$12 Million Awarded to Breonna Taylors Family AND Countless Millions Spent on Riot Control... The Police Don't Work For Free!

#6. Legalize Marijuana Nationwide, Tax It and Free All the Cannabis Prisoners. Use the Empty Jail Cells as a Homeless Shelter. Just Remove the Bars and They are Already Set Up With Food, Medicine, Showers, a Library and Basketball Court! This Would Cause a Massive INCREASE In Voluntary Taxes and a Massive DECREASE in Government Spending... EVERYBODY WINS!

#7. Fund Basic Research into Fighting Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome. It's an Epidemic! Destroying The USA By The Blood Sucking Leeches of the Ruling Class... This Mental Health Disease Manifests Itself By The Super Rich Purchasing Senators and Congressmen That Pass Laws Benefitting the Super Rich... at The Expense of 99% of Americans... The only Solution I Can Think of is #FRANCE1789... #OccupyWashingtonDC There is a CrazyLaw® Called Citizens United That Needs to Be Reversed... It Legalizes Bribery of Politicians... WITH NO RECORD of Who Spent What... Enabling Russian Funding of The NRA and the GOP... 

#8. #ImpeachBrett #ImpeachAmy - Remove Bratt Kava Kava NOOGIE from the Supreme Court. Remove Amy Too... No Reason Needed... Just Have the House File Impeachment Charges and The Senate Convict Them... Before They Do Any More Damage to the USA... 

#9. Allow ARREST of a Sitting President by the Department of Justice... There is a DOJ OPINION that Says We Cannot Indict a Sitting President... EVEN IF HE IS GUILTY OF A CRIME... That's a Crazy Idea... In Effect, It Made Crime Legal for "HE WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED" and His Friends... #fuBARR is a Co Conspirator... It's Just an Opinion... The Supreme Court Has NOT Ruled That It's VALID... 

#10. Overturn Citizens United. Remove Bribery From US Elections... 

#11. End the Electoral College. Most Americans Prefer Majority Rule... Undo Gerrymandering... Make Election Districts Sensable... Not INSANE... 

#12. Legalize Medicinal Psychedelics. Let Doctors and Patients Decide for Themselves What Treatment is Best. Get Corrupt Lawmakers OUT of Medicine... They Are Just Puppets of Big Pharma. The GOAL of Pharmaceutical Corporations is PROFIT, NOT HEALTH.

There Was Fifteen Years of Peace Following the End of The Vietnam War. WE WOKE UP! Americans Refused to Participate in Bogus Wars for Corporate Profit.

eBook: AMERICA'S BOGUS WARS [Since 1945, The Pentagon Has Never Defended The Country, Not Even Once] by Gregory Vanderlaan

Chapter Zero. Ever since VJ Day (Victory in Japan), All of Our Wars have been Marketing Tools to Sell Weapons for the Military Industrial Complex. One time there was a Need to Defend the Country and The Military Failed Completely. Civilians took down the Airplane in Pennsylvania on 9/11/2001. Frankly Speaking, Can't We Buy Total Failure at a Lower Price?

A Brief History of the Vietnam War. 58,000 American Soldiers Died for Nothing... Something They Don't Teach in School... "Too Controversial"

During the 1950s Americans went into a Panic about Communists taking over the world. We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and fallout shelters. The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs. During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "the Domino Principle"while pointing to a map of Asia. His theory was that one by one those countries over there would turn Commie and soon they would take over Mexico and threaten the American Way of Life. Soon, President Eisenhower and Kennedy sent advisors to help the South Vietnamese soldiers fight the North Vietnamese soldiers. Then President Johnson sent even More American Soldiers to fight the Viet Cong. Then President Nixon continued the War for another 5 years before eventually he decided to allow the South Vietnamese to fight their own war and we left. Quickly the South lost and thousands of Boat People fled South Vietnam because they thought they would be killed. As it turned out, The Domino Principle was false. Communism did not take over the world. The entire war was a waste of lives and money.
