What if?

I saw a query on another blog - if you were President for one day, what would you do?
Well, no President can do much in one day, but I would like to change things so that everyone has to vote, like it or not. That would pretty much transform this country. Failing that, I would like to go on TV and ask everyone to send a letter to Congress asking them to respond pubicly to this question: What is the purpose of government?
For me, the purpose of civil government ought to be to protect the weak from the strong. Sadly, it seems rather to be to protect private property. That being the case, those without property have no power. Nothing ever changes, eh? "The poor are driven into hiding and the rich lay waste to the land."
May God richly bless us with conversion.
