the two mainstream parties are really not very different

The President's First Day in Office, by Harry Browne:

"After my inaugural day, I'd probably spend little
more than an hour a day in the Oval Office,
because a busy President is a dangerous President.
But for the very first day, I'd an extremely long
agenda."

"On that first day in office, by Executive Order I
would:"

"* Pardon everyone who had been convicted on a
federal, non-violent drug charge, order their
immediate release, reunite them with their
families, and restore all their civil rights.
(Anyone convicted of using violence against
someone else in a drug case would not qualify as
"non-violent.")"

"* Pardon everyone who had been convicted on any
federal gun-control charge, tax-evasion charge, or
any other victimless crime, order their immediate
release, and restore all their civil rights."

"I would empty the prisons of those who haven't
harmed anyone else and make room for the violent
criminals who are currently getting out on plea
bargains and early release."

"Following the issuance of the pardons:"

"* I would announce a policy to penalize, dismiss,
or even prosecute any federal employee who
violated the Bill of Rights by treating you as
guilty until proven innocent, by searching or
seizing your property without due process of law,
by treating you as a servant, or in any other way
violating your rights as a sovereign American
citizen."

"* I would immediately order that no federal asset
forfeiture could occur unless the property's owner
had been convicted by full due process. And I
would initiate steps to make restitution to anyone
whose property had been impounded, frozen, or
seized by the federal government without a legal
conviction. (Over 80% of such seizures occur when
no one has even been charged with a crime.)"

"* I would order everyone in the executive branch
to stop harassing smokers, tobacco companies,
successful computer companies, gun owners, gun
manufacturers, alternative medicine suppliers,
religious groups (whether respected or labeled as
"cults"), investment companies, health-care
providers, businessmen, or anyone else who's
conducting his affairs peaceably."

"* I would end federal affirmative action, federal
quotas, set-asides, preferential treatments, and
other discriminatory practices of the federal
government.."

"And then I would break for lunch."<i/>
