3 Things We Should All Do About 3 Things

#1 Gas Prices --- The price of a gollon of gas should be determined by the mpg of your car. If you want to drive a hybrid or some other 4-cyl car and get at least 30 mpg then you can pay $1.09/ gallon. If you want to buy an elephant car that only gets 12 mpg, but does hold 11 passengers and thier cargo plus a pinball machine, then you can pay $3.99/gallon. While this plan just plain makes sense, a corollary is that it is also fair to the economically stagnant as the inexpensive cars tend to have better gas milages than more expensive ones (4cyl vs. 6 or 8 generally).

#2 Regarding the Steroid Issue --- In Major League Baseball the players are tested for a list of banned substances through urine tests. This allows for a player to find and use a new substance. One that is not yet banned. Instead of testing for a substance on a list they should... 1) run both urine and blood tests looking for anything that is not normally found in a human body and 2) instead of having a list of banned substances have a list of approved substances. Any substance that is found in your system that is not already approved is a violation of league policy. This eliminates the use of new/unknown drugs as a loophole. The unknown substance doesn't need to be banned to be a violation, it just needs to have not been approved.

#3 This is Key --- Everyone should do things and make choices congruent with what I want and would benifit me the most. This would make things alot easier for me.
