Pay to Pay

You use money when you buy things at the supermarket or just about anywhere you buy things; and you pay tax on top of the purchase price too. In other words, so to pay for anything, you also need to pay a tax in addition to the cost of the item. We are so familiar with this pay and pay again model, because we do it all the time. While this is completely reasonable for a revenue generation point-of-view, I doubt it is fair. Why don’t I think it fair? It’s too much like when credit card companies charge interest on interest. And I don’t think the founding fathers liked double of anything: double jeopardy, double fines, double taxation, or double interest payments. I am just using buying stuff at the supermarket as an example.
But in any case, I don’t think it is reasonable for you pay and pay again for the same thing.

I prefer to buy my stuff on the internet, and then pay a little to insure it. This is a bit of a double payment too but it is your choice.

Age limits for sports

Age limits for sports vary depending on the sport:
NBA basketball is 19
Major league baseball 16
NFL is 18
Tennis has no age limit

Limits are good for very physical contact sports like football. I think tennis and some other sports should have a limit too because you need a certain amount of maturity to be a professional athlete. Additionally, professional franchises would be depending upon the guardians of underage professional athletes for the fulfillment of their contracts which could add more problems than there worth. Even though there aren’t very high limits or no limit on baseball or tennis there aren’t many 16 year olds in major league baseball, and very rarely in tennis (with questionable results if you think of Jennifer Capriati).

Should there be limits on legal transactions, fines, penalties?

I think there should be limits, but it is okay to have ranges. For example, if the average person gets a car ticket, let’s say its $50. A person’s record should be a consideration. Also, the ability to pay (or not pay) should be a consideration because if it was to low the person might not take it seriously and if it’s too high they might not be able to afford it. If Bill Gates gets a car ticket you can’t charge him one-thousand dollars, but you could charge him $75. I admit this is a slippery slope, because I don’t think you should be punished for being successful, but I you could pay slightly more.

What I Would If I Was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court?

First, I would change those scary black robes to white.
Next, I would make lawyers wear these awesome white robes too,
Finally, I would make a mandatory height for Supreme Court judges’ clerks, so we’d always win basketball games against White House interns.

Kids vs. Adults Who Has More Rights

Well probably adults: (1) they can drink, (2) gamble, (3) smoke, and (4) do a lot of other things (e.g. drive, vote, etc.). Although kids can’t they aren’t missing out on much let’s see, drinking once in a while could be nice although most kids would agree it tastes horrible and would much rather have soda. Gambling is a bad habit. Also, you shouldn’t smoke its not good for your health. Finally, all those other things can wait.
