In the Land of the Free there would only be one tax because of the 3 Fundamental Rights of Every Human Being. The people would need to vote every couple years on what percentage of their income should go to these rights based on a vote by the people and not just government officials.

As the great Abraham Lincoln once said:

“Prohibition goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man’s appetite by legislation and makes crimes out of things that are not crimes.

Just change the word “prohibition” with “the war on drugs”. It’s the same thing and it’s just as stupid.

My family would grieve, maybe for their entire life, but even for the absolute youngest sibling, that would most likely be no more than 100 years.

UPDATE: I’ve corrected some <html:media> self closing errors (damn XHTML habits) and I have added a statement about backwards compatibility in the questions section.

Below is a long post about the possibilities of HTML with only 7 reserved elements which would use XML namespace syntax, a Form API, and the reserved attributes for those two APIs, which I believe, would make HTML much stronger. Let’s face it, HTML5 is already becoming so, so bloated with too much effort on backwards compatibility. If you just want to skim, here are the table of contents:
