I'd find all of the local conspiracy theorists.

I'd rent a black helicopter and a pilot to circle their homes at low altitude several times a week.

I'd also buy several white panel vans and stock it with every video game and WIFI access and park them across the street. I'd pay college kids to sit there and play games on rotating shifts. The router name would be NSA VAN#___ or FBI VAN#___ or Universal Exports Truck #____

Find myself enough acres to build or copy the Phillip Island track, elevation changes, everything. Then build a house on the property and 10-20 garages.



What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Buy the cure for my Mother-in-Law's Mesothelioma disease so my wife and I could have our lives back. I miss her. This is not a complaint about TSM11@AOL.com being gone to be with her Mom during treatment. I just want MIL to be cured and us to resume our lives.

Challenge every stupid law all the way up to the Supreme Court. Fund every politician who would vow to restore the USA to its original Constitutional Republic. Fund manned space flight and colonies. Collect warbirds, sports cars and guns. Lots and lots of guns. Someplace to use the planes, cars and guns. Buy a continuous strip of land from the Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico as close to the border as possible and put up my own Wall, with whatever security I deemed necessary. Fund better movies and TV shows. Pay for research into prosthetics work as well or better than the original parts. Or growing replacements. Be so far off the grid that the only people who know I exist are the friends and family who I want know.

I would buy a quarry and also buy the biggest damn excavator, dump truck, and bulldozer.

I would then enroll in the Make a Wish foundation, and offer to host any kids that want to come out and operate the heavy equipment (with an experienced co-pilot) and play to their heart's content. That would be really fun.

Make the equipment remote controlled via Xbox controler and the kids will be as good as professionals inside of 15 minutes.




The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt.

I'd buy a huge compound & take in every unwanted or unloved dog. Hire a staff & make sure they gave them the best life possible. Some other animals as well...

Open a huge dog rescue here in WV. Or just expand upon the one I volunteer with because it's already amazing! They really need an agility course to help the less confident rescue dogs so that would be a must. (I am working on it now though) Buy homes on the surrounding land for the workers that way their paychecks could go to other things. And perhaps my own home finally too! Maybe with a personal chef Wink

That's about it I don't really need anything.



If it won't matter in 5 years don't give it more than 5 minutes.
