I'd be interested in your answer to the following question. Given all the things you say in the "Maureen Dowd" blog, what would you do if you were philosopher-king of the United States and could make any laws, order anyone to do anything, take property from A and give it to B, institute criminal penalties for anything you wish, tax whatever persons or groups you wish to tax, etc.? What would you actually do if you had all the power in the world?
