hmm, heres another...
People gotta pass a test to operate a vehicle, right? I mean sure, it's chintzy, and a moron can pass it, but how about this...
A test for pet owners, and prospective parents..
like you'll be given a huge fine if you are caught in public with a pet or a baby/child without the aforementioned licenses...
Babysitters too.
Right?
I mean any dumbshit can reproduce, in fact, i'm fairly certain the more kids you have, the lower your IQ...
Religious zealots, non-withstanding...
but, when you think about it.. religious zealots... mumble.....
I digress..

(I feel it's important to note that I came from a large family... and my father is a dumbshit... and my mother is so far beyond sanity that she doesn't count)
love you mom...

Each time I think I have a great idea, I come to find it already exists. My last was a call system to summon waitstaff - instead of having to keep an eye out for them, waving like crazy, or yelling for them in a noisy, crowded environment, you'd simply flip a switch at your table that would turn on a 'help needed' light at one's booth or table. The waiter would just come to you next time they were free, without commotion. I thought about it for days, then I googled it. These systems are sold by everyone, where the fuck have I been? I have no original ideas...

Whom would you trust to administer these tests and enforce the results? Quis custodiet custodes?

I had one like that, a mechanical gas-line shutoff in earthquake country. Imagine my long face when I found an existing patent.

I thought of a spring loaded diode for checking the drivers on fuel injectors, springloaded because the space between the power and ground is different for each car... you can adjust it to each harness, instead of needing a whole kit..
yup... somebody beat me to that one...
damnit

I think you fail to grasp the eugenics implications. What you suggest is not desirable - it would require a totalitarian state - or South Carolina. Seriously tho, even here in America there was a flirtation with forced sterilizations of those that society deemed "unfit". Like if they were black for instance. It was the logical extension of your argument. It was bad. So is your idea.

And to say you care nothing about politics means that you care nothing for how society interacts. Is that really true? Because that is kind of um... well... shallow if it is.

Who would administer these tests to the public if not for the state? And babysitters? Come on. It is not like they are doing something vital like cosmetology.

I think that a world without politicians means a world without a state or a system of organization. I have seen some films about this sort of world.


I understand your disgust with politicians though. Society's members should do a better job of electing them. Do you vote?
