Off the top of my head?
Probably to tax added sugar in foods and beverages, like we do with cigarettes, and channel that revenue to Medicare.

If You Had One Law to Implement, What Would it Be?

I do not know whether what I wish for at all can be or should be implemented as a law or not? I wish that young people will learn that mental and physical health is largely in one's own hand. Towards that I will recommend some secular form of breathing and mediation teaching to young people.
Would we still have elections?

Popular vote elections.
That seemed obvious, but I didn't want to presume you didn't have something better in mind, eg, Apex deciding who wins.

So you want to cull the people who want to cull people. That makes you one of the people who wants to cull people- one of the very people you want to cull.
Have you sent them the account number(s) and PIN/password to your personal checking accounts, and all other bank accounts? You could do that without anyone passing a law for it.

That question makes no sense to me. Was it an attempt at wit or sarcasm?

I could see the riots now ... dumping sackfuls of sugar in lakes and in the Atlantic Ocean. They'll be the Boston Sugar Party. The TEA Party (Taxed Enough Already) would be the SUGAR Party instead (Suffocating Under Government Accounting Regulations).

Compliance with over-intrusive invasions of personal privacy by an authority; invasions that will be completely one-way as well.
Forbiddance of earning money as a result of interpreting law, either as a lawyer, attorney or judge.
Societies that rely on laws are courting moral corruption.
Wow! It's almost just as if you got the joke!

Can I ask why?
That will remain utopia. See I am a worker in Oil and Gas Exploration industry. It is said that initially, geoscientists-engineers run the company, then comes the Finance people and when the company has been milched half way through, the legal people take over, till the end days.
Joking.

How so?
Oh, ok then, I'll explain what I meant.
Another member stated that we have a right to privacy, to which you replied:
So I asked you:
This post was intended both to make a point and to be humorous in the process.
It was a way of questioning whether you really believe we should not have privacy from the State, because it would mean...well, we have no privacy from the State.
Therefore, I assert if you trust the State to that extent, so that you believe what belongs to you would actually be safe if we were to do away with a belief in having a right to privacy, or that it doesn't matter if what you own is used by a State with no regard to your right to privacy -- you have the opportunity right now, without the need for passing a law, to exercise your own belief of you not having a right to privacy by giving to the State all information it needs to treat your property in the way it choses. The good news is you don't have to wait for a law to see this come to fruition.
Is that more clear?

There should also be a word "sarschism" for when people start to argue based on a sarchasm.
