The first step would be to ban advertising in public spaces, later followed by banning ads on TV and then altogether.
At the same time introduce uniforms for all citizens, so no more stupid consumerism on brand cloths.
The we should tax new products and especially packaging material so repair becomes an option again.
Then we gather all the CEOs of major corporations and put them in a train to the former nuclear testing area in Kazakhstan where they have to dwell for the rest of their lives on stone age like agriculture.
Secondly, make a test on common knowledge on political and historical issues at the campus. Those who fail will be sent on an old oil tanker to the Bikini Atoll - no more superficial Laws and Economics student bunnies!

"A dog is a man's best friend." That common saying may contain some truth, but dogs are not the only animal friend whose companionship people enjoy. For many people, a cat is their best friend. Despite what dog lovers may believe, cats make excellent housepets.

In the first place, people enjoy the companionship of cats. Many cats are affectionate. They will snuggle up and ask to be petted, or scratched under the chin. Who can resist a purring cat? If they're not feeling affectionate, cats are generally quite playful. They love to chase balls and feathers, or just about anything dangling from a string. They especially enjoy playing when their owners are participating in the game. Contrary to popular opinion, cats can be trained. Using rewards and punishments, just like with a dog, a cat can be trained to avoid unwanted behavior or perform tricks. Cats will even fetch!

In the second place, cats are civilized members of the household. Unlike dogs, cats do not bark or make other loud noises. Most cats don't even meow very often. They generally lead a quiet existence. Cats also don't often have "accidents." Mother cats train their kittens to use the litter box, and most cats will use it without fail from that time on. Even stray cats usually understand the concept when shown the box and will use it regularly. Cats do have claws, and owners must make provision for this. A tall scratching post in a favorite cat area of the house will often keep the cat content to leave the furniture alone. As a last resort, of course, cats can be declawed.

Lastly, one of the most attractive features of cats as housepets is their ease of care. Cats do not have to be walked. They get plenty of exercise in the house as they play, and they do their business in the litter box. Cleaning a litter box is a quick, painless procedure. Cats also take care of their own grooming. Bathing a cat is almost never necessary because under ordinary circumstances cats clean themselves. Cats are more particular about personal cleanliness than people are. In addition, cats can be left home alone for a few hours without fear. Unlike some pets, most cats will not destroy the furnishings when left alone. They are content to go about their usual activities until their owners return.

Cats are low maintenance, civilized companions. People who have small living quarters or less time for pet care should appreciate these characteristics of cats. However, many people who have plenty of space and time still opt to have a cat because they love the cat personality. In many ways, cats are the ideal housepet.

My conclusion? Plagiarism doesn't pay, especially off the first Google link and in a topic unrelated. What you should learn, however, is that: ixnay, Zylka, or Smiley, you need to do your classwork yourself instead of asking an Apolytoner to do it for you.
Kill everyone.
-----------------

The best way to mitigate the worst excesses of consumer culture can be answered in three parts. Each part is very important and must be done with great skill and strategy as to amply address each part within a timely manner. The first part would be to identify the worst excess of consumer culture, as well as to define whatever the hell that means. The second part would require a monkey, a unicycle, a truck load of cheeseburgers, and Zylka in a toto. The third part would be to ensure that the monkey does not get offended by or jealous of Zylka… The rest will come naturally.

If I was aware of this contest, and knew how to post pictures, I think I would have really enjoyed drawing and posting a picture of a partially hovering tank with reflective armor and laser rifles.
Oh, well.

[mrmitchell]

So what's the tally of the scores?

[Immortal Wombat]

3? that star tank got 3? 3? freaking 3?

You suck. This whole thing sucks.

[Tuberski]

How can I get 0 for a question?

That's stupid.

ACK!

[Japher]

ACK! PPTTHHHHBBBTTT!

I wonder whose essay this is

but I think it's dead on

[Tuberski]

Me too, but it was worth exactly 0 points.

ACK!

[Ben Kenobi]

Just a few critiques.

1. You need a system that rewards effort moreso than those who posted nothing.

Now, if 13 posters all submitted a blank page of a 'camoflaged Siberian tank during the winter', they ought to receive 13 points.

No submission at all should recieve 0.

If a person gives an answer, and he is the only one with that answer he should also get 1 point, and not 0.

[Zylka]

I agree with the latter

[:) Smiley]

In response to that, people who are the only one to raise a certain point in the essay don't get points for those points because doing so would encourage laundry listing.

This contest isn't about effort, it's about stupidity. I have tried to balance the two.

[Zylka]

ANSWERS! The white coats have found me and are trying to wrench me away from the keyboard. I don't know how much longer I can ho

[Straybow]

I really missed points by not Zylka-ing 6,7,8.

I guess I got 13 on the tank, but I thought I sent a picture… I'll have to check the address. If I got the address wrong that's pretty stupid, and then I suppose I deserve 13

[mrmitchell]

I've noticed that enough people answer questions about Apolytoners with Zylka that that answer is usually the winner.

Of course now that I've said this, will it skew future answers that way even more so?

[Skanky Burns]

Wow.

Theres a first for everything, apparently.
