Many, if not most, dopers happen because they fail to develop a close, loving relationship with their parents and friends, and/or because of an ignorance and lack of concern for what this condition does to them individually and to their families, friends, and society as well. All of which arises from a failure to communicate. This is a solvable problem people. The solution is simple, and it brings up an issue that's bound to have people leaping from their seats screaming, Fascist!, Communist!, Infidel!, but folks, hear me out before you jump and scream.

Drug Law #3 (Family Law #3).

People with a license to have kids get an automatic reduction in their income taxes. To get a license, one must either have completed the four year family training course in high school with an average grade of B or better or pass a test showing you at least know how to raise kids. One gets a four percent reduction for the test, and a ten percent reduction for the four year high school course. This reduction is good for life, whether you ever have kids or not.

Now before you stand up and scream, notice that we require people to have a license to drive a car, own guns, hunt or fish, practice medicine or law, own a business, and a whole bunch of other things I don't even know about, but you must agree that there is ample proof that none of these acts is as dangerous or as much of a burden upon society as a child raised without proper love, nutrition, emotional and physical security, and a sense of social responsibility.

I'm not talking about making everyone have their kids sing the national anthem before settling down to some required breakfast menu. I'm talking about letting people know what proper nutrition is and why it is essential to a kid's physical, emotional, and mental development. I'm talking about letting people know they gotta pick their kids up and give them a hug and tell them they love them lots, instead of just before they drop'em off at the nursery, and give them some idea how to do it and how often it is needed. That's right, we gotta show'em, because lots of kid raisers these days are going to have little or no experience to use as a model.

Someone has to tell them that although some television shows are educational and beneficial, television is a form of artificial stimulation and that too much of it at too early an age damages a kid's ability to relate properly to other people or society and almost inevitably leads many of them to a need for other forms of artificial stimulation which makes them become a burden in one way or another upon their society instead of an asset to it.

They should also be made aware of the benefits and importance of having one parent stay home and raise the kids themselves instead of leaving the job to day care centers and television, which brings up another law.

Drug Law #4 (Family Law #4).

Two parent families in which one parent stays home to take care of the kids will receive a two percent reduction in their federal income taxes. Moreover, the stay home parent will receive social security credit at the same level as local elementary school teachers, until the youngest child is sixteen years of age. (2011 update:  Because of our current debt crisis, this probably ain't gonna happen.)

Discrimination

We should systematically turn dopers into second class citizens. We should discriminate against them like the south used to do against blacks; separate but unequal. People on welfare willing to take and pass drug tests should be given separate and better housing and subsidies. People buying into a public health plan unwilling to take or unable to pass a drug test should have to pay higher premiums.  (2011 update:  Changed my mind.  Anyone refusing to submit to or failing drug tests (including cigarettes & alcohol) should be barred from the government run public health program until they can be proven clean for at least a year.)

This doesn't really belong here, but I'm not sure where to put it.

According to the December 9, 1991 edition of US News and World Report, the Archdiocese of Washington DC runs a 50,000 student school system from a Central Administration office of seventeen people, while the Washington DC Public Schools runs an 81,000 student system with a headquarters staff of 1500 ! Just about any teacher will agree that entirely too much of the education dollar is invested in administration. Although I'm not entirely sure exactly what to do, I intend to reduce that problem if not eliminate it. Among other things, some guidelines for the streamlining of school administrations, along with ceilings on administrative salaries will be tied to government funding. One of the first things I intend to do is go and have a long talk with the guy in charge of the Archdiocese of Washington DC !
