Thank you, X! I am from New Hampshire and could forseeably become a "Favorite Son"--lol. However, I come from a den of musicians, not politicians. You see, the powers that be have pretty much already discounted my world. They like us a lot at weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and whatnot, but not in real life. This much I do know. Were I at the top the party would be from the bottom to the top, and not a presumption the other way. And I'd emphasize a maximum wage, not a minimum wage. Let's try the pressure the other way around for a while. I'd still want the hoola-hoops and the pet rocks and the entrepreurial spirit--but I think there should be a limit as to how much people can take--especially if same becomes a condition where the taking is connected and easy, sorta like rolling over folks. I'd take the 24-hour/seven day week and make it into a 30-hour/seven day week: 10 hours work each day for four days only, instead of five); 10 hours of rest and leisure each work day; and 10 hours of fun each work day. Think what taking a day off for a weekend would be like under this this scenario. And because of the overlap of daytime and nighttime, productivity would be enhanced. Problem is people don't have enough time to enjoy their lives. So why not put time as we know it on a computer clock and make a better arrangement for people. I could go on with other ideas, but I haven't the time--lol! Again, thanks for your compliment, X!
