Hamilton was awesome. Except for getting shot by Aaron Burr. That was pretty dumb. I mean can you imagine politicians actually having a duel today? Maybe that's how we should decide things.

I was thinking of a tongue-in-cheek way to save America that starts with: why do we need all these states? I mean what's the point of all these tiny states like Rhode Island and Delaware? And basically instead of 50 states we should just divide the country into like four regions or "divisions" to appeal to sports fans and then think how much smoother things would go without all these states with their own separate stupid bureaucracies! No more of this in South Carolina you can do this but in Montana you can't crap. One set of laws for everyone!

Another suggestion is taken from the Twilight Zone episode "The Old Man in the Cave" where in post-apocalyptic 1974 these people are surviving because an "old man in a cave" tells them what to eat and not eat. But then the people find out the "old man" is a computer and destroy the computer and all die about 24 hours later. The moral of the story: people are dumb; computers are smart. So let's just let the computers take over! No more parties or greed or any of that...until the computers become self-aware and kill us all.
