No one would ever die or lack free medical care.

No one would ever die because of a lack of affordable medical care.

Taxes would be optional and not required.

This one from you surprises me greatly since the Bush people were working so hard to promote Kerry as a heavy taxer. I think that not only should they not be optional, but it should be much more difficult for people to avoid paying taxes using offshore bank accounts and other practices of questionable legality.

They would never have to make sacrifices to accommodate other people.

This one surprises me too because it's Bush who promotes the "I"ve got mine and fuck everybody else" mentality. Of course people would make sacrifices to accomodate other people.

They would never have to resort to violence to defend themselves.

They would only resort to violence to defend themselves as a last resort.

There would only be one candidate to vote for whose beliefs agree with everyone.

We would get rid of the electoral college so that we can have more than two viable parties, and third, fourth, fifth, party candidates could stand a chance of winning. As things are now, all we really have is one party that wears two different faces.

People would be free to marry with any number of individuals of any sex or breed of animal or any relative at any age.

Only two people, no animals, and no relatives except perhaps distant cousins.

People could fornicate at will and abortions would always be available at any stage of pregnancy.

People do fornicate at will. That's not going to change. Abortions should only be available during the first trimester. No second trimester abortions unless it is a question of the life or health of the mother, and then only if there is no other option. No partial birth abortions unless it is a question of the life or health of the mother (which, by the way, is Kerry's stance on partial birth abortions).

llegal aliens could enter at will and take share the resources that others have provided.

I don't have a fully formed opinion on this one yet.

Building materials and energy would be cheap and come from outside of Crybabia to preserve the natural resources and prevent pollution.

This is the Republican stance, only they do it, not to preserve natural resources and prevent pollution, but to make a bigger profit and pollute someone else's country and deplete someone else's resources.

My position is to use the resources we have wisely, and in a way that is not wasteful. Building materials can be produced in a way that is sustainable and environmentally friendly. We should be doing that, while at the same time protecting our environment. This is not only possible, it's absolutely necessary.

Automobiles would produce no pollution and be absolutely crash proof so that an individual would be safe regardless of their carelessness.

It's already possible to make automobiles that produce little or no pollution. There is no reason in the world why we shouldn't be doing that now. Absolutely crash proof would be nice. Think of all of the children's lives that could be saved. I don't expect it to happen any time soon, but it would be nice.

Lawyers would be available 24x7 to alleviate any injustice and collect huge punitive damages form any suspected offender.

Sort of a "drive through" lawyers office? Not practical. As John Edwards said, there should be independent bodies of people who would examine law suits to determine whether or not they are frivolous before they are allowed to go to court.

Business would be completely at risk to any complaint, warranted or not, required to pay top wages and not allowed to make a profit.

Business would take responsibility for what they are responsible for. Frivolous law suits would be discarded before going to court. People would be paid a living wage, and business would behave like good citizens of this country, instead of treating this country and its citizens like a throwaway commodity. And no more corporate welfare, especially for businesses that ship jobs overseas.

Working would be an option and the government of Crybabia would provide everything for non-workers.

The government would remove existing tax incentives that promote the export of jobs to other countries, and more people would be able to find jobs that pay a living wage.

That's all I have time for now. But I will say that one of the reasons I decided to vote for Kerry is because I don't like the way Bush is treating the men and women who enlist in our armed forces. He's using them badly, and treating them like they don't matter. That's just wrong.
