The Quality Division

The Products Ministry determines which products will be manufactured for the public. The products that are needed by industries, scientists, and hospitals are determined by other ministries. For example, the Medical Ministry is responsible for designing the products and supplies needed by the hospitals, dentists, and other people involved with health.

The Products Ministry can design products, and they can accept designs from citizens or other ministries. They decide what features, options, colors, and decorations to give each product. If they accept a design from a citizen, than the citizen gets credit for having a beneficial idea, even if the Products Ministry modifies his design.

However, the Products Ministry cannot manufacture products. Instead, they post requests for products in the Requests category, and the Economic Division determines whether they will manufacture the item.

Quality control for all products

Although this ministry is restricted to designing products for the public, they have the responsibility to provide quality control for all products in the city. For example, they are required to pass judgment on the value of the products that are authorized by the Medical Ministry. This allows them to post a complaint that an x-ray machine that the Medical Ministry has authorized is too expensive, or has unnecessary features, or is too complicated to use, maintain, or recycle.

By putting this ministry in the role of quality control for products, they can reduce some of the problems that are occurring in existing societies. Specifically, the businesses, government agencies, and other organizations that put a lot of labor and resources into projects that are worthless, inefficient, or detrimental. For some examples of what they can do:

•		Nations spend enormous amounts of money on training people to be contestants for the Olympic Games, and even more money for the facilities for the Olympic Games, and many of those facilities are wasted after the games are finished. However, nobody is held accountable for the waste, and nobody cares whether the benefits of the Olympics outweigh the disadvantages. The Products Ministry has the authority to pass judgment on whether the recreational activities, facilities, and equipment that the Leisure and Social Club Ministers are requesting are sensible, or should be altered or terminated.

•		SpaceX has put more than 6000 Starlink satellites in orbit, as of June 2024, to provide Internet services around the world, but this is a very expensive method of providing Internet services. The satellites are in a low orbit, which causes them to fall into the atmosphere and burn up after about five years. SpaceX will soon have to replace more than a thousand of them every year, but it costs about $67 million to put one satellite into orbit as of 2024. SpaceX hopes to have 42,000 satellites, which will require replacing about 8000 a year. The cost of the rockets will continue to decrease, but even if the cost drops to $10 million per satellite, replacing 8000 a year requires a phenomenal amount of labor and resources. In a free enterprise system, and in a democracy, nobody is authorized to pass judgment on whether those satellites are a sensible way of providing Internet services, or whether it would be more beneficial for us to put the technical talent and resources into some other project. If SpaceX was part of an organization that was planning to instigate a nuclear war or other disaster, then the satellites would be useful during the war, but otherwise it is an idiotic and inefficient method of providing Internet services.

•		Jeff Bezos is selling $1 billion worth of stock a year to fund the Blue Origin company. Throughout his life he has had fantasies of creating colonies in space, and he is currently dreaming of creating millions of space colonies for trillions of people. He is just one of many people who have been fooled by NASA and Hollywood into believing that outer space is a beautiful and exciting aspect of the universe, and that our lives will be more satisfying on the moon and Mars than on Earth. Bezos probably believes that space colonies are going to be easy to create because he has been fooled into believing that space travel is so easy and safe that people in the 1960s could routinely send people to and from the moon. However, creating a colony in space requires a phenomenal amount of metal, plastic, and rubber just to create a protective shell for the colony. If we were capable of creating such a gigantic shell, we could flatten it out, and make it into a gigantic barge that floats on the Pacific Ocean, and then build a city on top of it. Creating a city on the earth is much easier than creating a space colony, but no society has yet been able to create even a tiny city on the earth that is attractive, clean, quiet, and free of crime. No society has even been successful at providing itself with honest, competent, and intelligent leadership. It is absurd for us to be putting enormous amounts of technical talent and resources into space travel when we cannot take care of ourselves here on the Earth. If we had a space colony right now, it would be full of the same people that are in Chicago, Paris, London, and Hong Kong, and its leadership would be just as corrupt, incompetent, and selfish. It would be a space colony full of crime, fights, litter, people who hate one another, people speaking different languages, and people giving birth to retarded children. It would be a space colony in which the journalists, government officials, religious leaders, college professors, and business executives are involved with human trafficking, pedophilia, murder rituals, and promoting Jewish propaganda Life in the space colony would be just as miserable as it is in every city here on the earth. If a child is irresponsible with his toys, and if he asks his parents for another toy, his parents should respond that he cannot take care of the toys that he already has, so cannot have any more, especially not expensive toys. The people in leadership positions today are doing a terrible job. They all seem to be suffering from serious emotional and/or intellectual disorders. All they can think about is stockpiling absurd amounts of material items, being pampered by servants, and creating an economic monarchy so that their children don't have to earn anything. We are fools to allow such terrible leaders to put so much of our labor and resources into worthless projects, such as developing rockets to take us into space. We don't need to go into space. We need to deal with the problems we have here on the earth. The billions of dollars that Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Richard Branson, and other billionaires are putting into space travel, electric vehicles, Hyperloop, and other projects is not their money. It belongs to society. They are billionaires only because our culture has allowed them to take enormous amounts of wealth, not because they earned it, or deserve it. During the Middle Ages, the people allowed the kings and queens to take phenomenal amounts of wealth, and they were also willing to fight whatever wars the kings and queens told them to fight. People today are much more educated, so they should do a better job of managing their society, but our societies have become more complex. As a result, people today are even more overwhelmed with life than they were during the Middle Ages. Most people cannot make sensible decisions about who their leaders should be, or what our policy should be for abortion, marijuana, heroin, immigration, and assisted suicide. Most people cannot even understand the benefits to allowing the government to develop a DNA database that contains everybody's DNA, and they cannot agree on whether telephone wires should be put underground or dangling from poles scattered throughout the city. The majority of people cannot take care of a modern society. Most people cannot even do a good job of taking care of themselves or their family. They cannot control their eating, debt, drug use, temper, arrogance, and/or selfishness. If we had a space colony right now, the people in the colony would be just as incompetent at managing it as they are at managing the cities here on the earth. They would elect incompetent, dishonest, and criminal officials for their government, and the space colony would be full of crime, divorce, homelessness, retards, teenage gangs, and mental illness. The space colony would have vegans protesting the eating of meat; brown people whining about white privilege; feminists are whining about sexism; conservatives whining that they need guns to protect them from crime and corruption; and Jews whining about anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial. The police would have trouble identifying criminals because they would be prohibited from demanding a DNA sample of everybody living in the colony. Nobody would even know how many people were living in the colonies because they would not put much effort into stopping illegal immigration. A space colony would essentially be a copy of Hong Kong, Chicago, or London enclosed in a shell, and floating around in space. The buildings will be just as ugly and disorganized as they are here on the earth. The space colonies would also become overcrowded as a result of the people being incapable of controlling their reproduction and immigration. The Japanese space colonies would need people to push passengers onto overcrowded trains, and the American space colonies would be full of overweight people who want to drive vehicles everywhere, rather than walk or ride bicycles. There would also be lots of pet dogs, cats, and other animals that bark and fight with each other; spread poop and hairs everywhere; and occasionally bite and kill people. And the police would resist killing the violent dogs, including dogs that attack police officers, and dogs that have ripped the face off of a woman. Eventually there would be so many defective people that there would be streets in every space colony that resemble Kensington Avenue, and the government officials would "solve" the problem by pushing the defective people into other streets. The space colonies would have so many obese people that they would demand that the artificial gravity be reduced so that they can move easier, and then they would gain more weight. The space colonies would also have the same accusations of government officials, professors, journalists, Jews, and other people involved with pedophile networks, human trafficking, and murder rituals. It is idiotic to allow our incompetent, dishonest, and mentally disturbed leaders to put phenomenal amounts of technical talent and resources into developing colonies on the moon, Mars, or in space. They cannot provide appropriate leadership for people on the earth, so they cannot provide it for people in other areas of the universe. It is also idiotic to create new cities with the same people and culture that we have today. We must restrict the new cities to people with much better behavior, and we must improve our culture.

•		NASA is planning to send a probe to Saturn's moon, Titan. The cost of this project has been rising, and we can assume that it will continue to increase. The voters are supposed to provide quality control over their government officials, but most voters cannot do that. The Products Ministry would be able to demand that NASA explain and justify the development of a new rocket when SpaceX has already produced reusable rockets that are much lower in cost than all of the NASA rockets. Even if six of the SpaceX rockets were needed to get all of the fuel and other materials into Earth orbit, that would be much less expensive and faster than allowing NASA to create another expensive, single-use rocket.

•		Even though the reusable SpaceX rockets are much lower in cost than other rockets, there is no authority to ensure that those rockets are truly the best design. The Products Ministry can demand that the engineers show evidence that they gave proper consideration to alternative designs. For example, the Products Ministry can ensure that the engineers considered whether it would be more economical to have the first stage of the rocket be a large, delta wing aircraft with perhaps 50 turbojet engines with afterburners. If the turbojets could lift the second stage to 20 km and 1500 km/h, it would be more economical and durable than a rocket, and much less likely to explode. Furthermore, that type of craft would be able to use one of the turbojets that have already been designed for the military, thereby avoiding the need to put more labor and resources into the development of another jet engine. The second stage would be a reusable rocket, except that it would be provided with small wings so that it can land like an aircraft rather than vertically. Men have such strong craving for status that we sometimes choose to do something that is inefficient or idiotic because we want to impress other people, so it is possible that the SpaceX engineers decided to make the first stage a rocket rather than an aircraft, and to have it land vertically, rather than land like an aircraft, because that design is more difficult. Launching things into space is extremely expensive, and we should impress one another by finding the simplest and most efficient solution, rather than behave like gorillas that are pounding their chest and trying to intimidate one another. In a free enterprise system, nobody has the authority to make the SpaceX management explain which alternative designs they considered, or why they dismissed them, but the Products Ministry has the responsibility and authority to ensure that the engineers are controlling their emotions and doing what is most sensible for society.

•		Some organizations, such as Harvard University and NOAA, have begun doing research into "Solar Radiation Modification". This is a project to do something to the atmosphere to make it reflect some of the sunlight back into outer space to compensate for global warming. There is no authority in a democracy or a free enterprise system to force the scientists who promote that project to provide evidence that the earth is truly becoming warmer, rather than just going through its typical hot and cold phases. There is also no authority to demand that the scientists show evidence that the Earth is warming up because of carbon dioxide, rather than because of our replacement of grass and trees with asphalt, concrete, and buildings. For example, the Los Angeles basin must be creating a tremendous amount of warm air as a result of all of the buildings and roads, which would have a significant effect on the weather of Southern California, but the scientists are ignoring that effect. Furthermore, there is no authority to demand that the scientists show evidence that we will suffer from global warming. For all we know, the benefits of a warmer climate will outweigh the disadvantages. Finally, there is no authority to ensure that the scientists can provide evidence that whatever they do to the atmosphere will be reversible if it turns out to make the climate even worse, or if they decide to terminate it after it reduces the temperature. The Products Ministry has the authority and responsibility to demand that the scientists involved with such a project can justify what they are doing.

Since it is impossible for the Products Ministry personnel to have adequate knowledge about all of the different projects in the city, all government agencies are encouraged to hire people to become part-time and temporary government officials. This will allow citizens to assist the government with quality control for the projects that they are knowledgeable about.

The public is incapable of providing quality control

The free enterprise systems and the democracies require the public to handle all quality control issues. For example, consumers are supposed to drive businesses to bankruptcy if they cannot provide good quality products, or if the executives are taking "too much" money, or if the executives abuse their employees or customers.

Up until the last few centuries, business activity was so simplistic that the public could do a fairly good job of ensuring the businesses were producing good quality products and behaving properly, but today it is impossible for consumers to do that.

During the past few centuries, our societies have become so large and complicated that the public cannot manage it. This results in businesses, charities, think tanks, government agencies, religions, and other organizations, wasting enormous amounts of labor technical talent, labor, and resources on worthless projects.

By making the Products Ministry responsible for quality control of products, we put a small group of people in control of all products and research programs. Instead of trying to pass judgment on the value of an enormous number of businesses, we only have to pass judgment on the performance of the Behavior Minister.

By requiring all government officials to document their decisions, it becomes practical for us to observe what the minister do, and hold them accountable for their actions.

The Products Ministry must respond to complaints

A quality control official will not be of much value if he is allowed to ignore complaints about products, or his policies. Therefore, as with all government officials, the Products Ministry is required to respond to questions about their policies, complaints about products, and suggestions for products. They cannot give vague answers, or promise to investigate, as the Santa Barbara officials do with complaints about the airport noise.

Although the public is not likely to have any good suggestions, they can be very useful in identifying problems. For example, I purchased the probe in the photo below for my thermometer, and I noticed that the temperature would fluctuate by a few degrees as I moved the thermometer around in a pan of hot water.

I assumed that there were currents of hot water flowing from the bottom, and the probe was so sensitive that it was picking up the subtle differences in temperature in different areas of the pan. However, after a couple years, the temperature was fluctuating so much, and sometimes giving a negative value, that I decided it must be failing.

Before discarding it in the trash, I decided to cut through the hard plastic portion where the wires went into the thermometer (at the magenta arrow in the image above) to see if the wires were frayed because touching that area caused the fluctuations in temperature. I discovered that one of the two wires was completely severed, and it was such a clean cut that I assume it happened during the manufacturing of the thermometer.


The blue wire was broken where it entered the probe.		It looks like the wires were sparking, even though it operates at only 3 volts.

I soldered the broken wires together, and encased the loose wires in plastic with a hot glue gun, and that fixed the problem. The temperature became more stable than it ever was.

The point of this personal example is that most consumers would not know what was wrong with the thermometer. Instead, they would only be able to complain that the temperature fluctuates wildly when they handle the thermometer.

The engineers who design products or software cannot expect the public to understand what is wrong with their products or software. Therefore, they must be willing to investigate what appear to be "stupid" and "vague" complaints. However, our resistance to "work" causes us to want to ignore complaints that seem stupid. Therefore, the ministers have to be under pressure to respond to complaints, and they must pressure engineers and computer programmers into investigating and fixing the problem.

This type of economic system will allow us to get the reasons for why rockets, cell phones, drones, bicycles, and other items are designed the way they are; allow consumers to get responses to their complaints; and put engineers and computer programmers under pressure to improve their products. It will enable us to take control of our economy rather than wonder what is going on.

In the case of the thermometer with the broken wire, an investigation might show that it was the only thermometer with that problem, but an investigation might also have shown that there were lots of broken wires as a result of a manufacturing process that was putting too much strain on the wires.

For another example, there are thousands of people constantly complaining about the same problems with the Windows operating system, and with incompatibilities with DXF files, but neither Microsoft nor Autodesk does anything to solve the problems. In a free enterprise system, businesses have no obligation to improve anything they do.

The Products Ministry will improve that situation by having the responsibility for improving products, and authority to demand that the complaints be investigated, and the problems be solved. Since the Quality Division President is not permitted to tolerate or make excuses for incompetent ministers, if a Products Minister cannot solve problems, he must be replaced.

The other ministers also have to respond to questions and solve problems, so citizens will be able to demand explanations for why a particular holiday celebration has been authorized, or why a particular recreational activity has been terminated, or why a particular clothing style has been altered.

By repeatedly replacing the ministers who are the least effective at resolving complaints and problems, we will provide ourselves with government officials who are truly talented at improving our products, software, and other culture.

In every existing culture, the purpose of a security system and law enforcement agency is to prevent crime. However, the laws document pointed out that we cannot prevent crime with laws because no matter what type of law we create, people are capable of ignoring them. Likewise, no matter what type of security device or system we create, people can ignore or defeat it.

This constitution changes the situation dramatically by giving the security ministry a different purpose. Specifically, its purpose is to solve crimes and remove the badly behaved people, rather than try to prevent crimes from occurring.

For example, in every city the government, businesses, and citizens keep lights on all night long in order to discourage people from committing crimes, but burglaries, rapes, murders, and other crimes continue to occur. We are wasting labor and resources on these lights, and creating light pollution that prevents people in the city from seeing the stars.

This Constitution requires the city lights to be for decorative and useful purposes, not to prevent crime. In the evening, some low level lights will turn on to make it easy for people to see the walkways, bicycle paths, and swimming areas, and to decorate the buildings and plazas. Late in the evening, when almost everybody is sleeping, almost all of the lights in the city should turn off. The city will be extremely dark during the night.

As described years ago, this Constitution removes our "safety net". This attitude is similar to that of the military training programs. The military officials do not try to prevent the students from failing. Instead, they put the students through training and tests, and those that fail are evicted. Likewise, the people who train dogs to assist people with disabilities do not try to control the dogs. Instead, they put the dogs through training and tests, and those that fail are evicted.

The Security and Courts Ministries must do the same with people. Instead of trying to control people with punishments, security systems, and laws, they must evict the people who cannot behave properly, or put them on restrictions.

The Security Ministry protects the city from badly behaved people, but they take an active role in reducing crime, rather than preparing for it or trying to prevent it. This is a radically different attitude compared to all of the law enforcement and security agencies in the world today.

Every culture encourages people to prepare for crime, such as by installing locks on their homes, bicycles, and automobiles, and using passwords on their phones and computers, and teaching children to be afraid of strangers.

In September 2024, the governor of New York passed the "Retail Worker Safety Act" that requires retail stores to become more prepared for criminals. For example, retail stores with more than 500 employees must install panic buttons throughout their building, or provide panic buttons that the employees can wear on their clothing, or provide "panic apps" for their cell phone.

The businesses with 10 or more employees must do such things as "Provide annual training for employees on de-escalation tactics, active shooter drills, emergency procedures, use of panic buttons".

We must stop preparing for crime
and start eliminating criminals.

That law is as idiotic as requiring children to wear panic buttons, and have annual training programs to practice using the panic buttons and "de-escalation tactics" with pedophiles, crime gangs, and kidnappers.

To improve upon the situation, the Security, Courts, and other ministries must take an active role in reducing crime so that nobody has to prepare for becoming a victim.

It is a waste of our life to be fearful of the people in our city. We live for only a few decades, and we should spend that time enjoying the people that we live with. We should regard them as our friends and team members. We should not be burdened with passwords, locks and keys, or other security systems.

The Security Ministry must provide the city with a security system, but its purpose is to identify and remove criminals. The security system will also help us notice and prepare for natural disasters, such as floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, fires, and hailstorms. The system can also watch for other types of dangerous situations, such as chemicals that are leaking from tanks or pipes; structures that are failing from old age or rust; and machinery that is failing.

The Security Minister must be a man. He is responsible for:

1) A surveillance system.
2) A police force.
3) A fire department.

The Security Ministry is responsible for designing a surveillance system to gather data about the people and the potential dangers of the city, such as the rivers, dams, lightning storms, and machinery. The Security Ministry is responsible for collecting and analyzing the data, and making it available for everybody.

The security system is only partly for use in solving crimes. Crime will be very low compared to all other societies because criminals are evicted, and standards are much higher for the people, so the primary purpose of the surveillance system is to gather data to help us understand human behavior and health issues.

When computers have the ability to identify people in the security video, and use that information to create an index of where everybody is in all of the videos, the surveillance system will also have lots of other uses, such as allowing us to entertain ourselves when we become older by watching video of ourselves.

That surveillance video would also be useful for observing life in the past. Since technology is changing rapidly, and the government will experiment with culture, our lives will change through the decades, so many people will enjoy watching video from decades earlier to reminisce about it. Many of the older people will also enjoy showing the video to young children and explaining how life has changed.

The surveillance video could also be used to allow people to understand how the city was built and changed, such as watching a video at high speed of the construction of a building or plaza.

The surveillance system would also allow us to figure out what we said or did in the past when we forget or have a dispute with somebody. We would be able to ask a phone or robot to show us what we were doing on a particular day and time. The city computer would check to see if there is any video of us on that particular day, and then find it and display it for us.

The surveillance system would also be designed to monitor creeks for flooding; gather data about the animals that get into or live in the city; identify traffic patterns and areas with congestion; and monitor robots and autonomous vehicles to ensure that they are operating properly and have not broken down. By providing infrared sensitive cameras, the surveillance system can identify hot areas, smoke, and fires.

By putting microphones on some of the cameras, the computers can monitor noise levels to determine if any machines, bridges, or buildings arc starting to crack or break; to learn about human behavior; and to observe animals.

Eventually there will be sensors for chemicals, such as identifying ammonia or the scent of flowers, which can help us reduce potential problems, and help us understand how humans react to different chemicals. For example, we might notice that blooming flowers causes subtle changes in the way people walk or ride bicycles, and that there are subtle differences in the fragrances and visual images of flowers that men and women are attracted to.

The equipment in the surveillance system, and its functions, will depend upon the technology at the time it is designed, and the Security Ministry is responsible for updating the design as technology improves.

The Security Ministry cannot manufacture any of the surveillance equipment. As with other agencies, they must post a document of what they want in the Requests category, and the Utilities Ministry will manufacture and maintain the security system, unless they decide to reject it.

The Security Ministry determines what type of equipment to use for the system, and what its functions are. They determine what type of video cameras to install, and the locations of the cameras. They determine which cameras have fixed locations and lenses, and which of them have zoom lenses and can be moved by computers in order to track moving objects.

They also decide if where to install microphones in the city, and sensors for heat, motion, water leaks, freezing temperatures, earthquakes, broken windows, wind, vibration, dust particles, pollen, smoke, and water levels of creeks.

They are also required to use tracking software and facial recognition software to allow the computers to identify the people in the security videos, and to allow the computers to track people's locations.

A lot of these security functions are already implemented in the advanced nations, but the equipment is installed and operated by independent citizens, organizations, and government agencies. For example, millions of American citizens and organizations have installed surveillance cameras in their homes, vehicles, and facilities, and many of them also have sensors for broken windows and freezing temperatures. Some citizens and organizations have also installed WebCams to observe animals or weather. Many organizations have also installed sensors around the nation to watch for fires, earthquakes, floods, and automobile traffic.

This constitution changes the security situation dramatically. The city provides everybody with free access to all material items, but the citizens do not have the freedom to install their own security systems, or hire bodyguards, or create their own private security force.

The managers of factories, farms, and other businesses are permitted to install cameras, heat sensors, and other surveillance items in order to allow them to monitor their operation, but they cannot install surveillance items to gather information about the city, or the people in the city.

Likewise, every mother will have free access to cameras that she can put into her home so that she can monitor her baby, but she cannot install cameras to watch other people, or the city. When the child has outgrown the need to be monitored, she must give the equipment back to the city, rather than use it to observe her neighbors or other people.

Eventually the city will have the technology to provide a mother with a robot babysitter. Initially the robot will be only able to observe the baby and provide information to the mother, but eventually the robots will be so advanced that they will be able to follow the mother's verbal commands, such as to provide the baby with food, or change its diapers. When the mother doesn't need the robot babysitter, she gives it back to the city rather than use it to observe her neighbors or other people in the city.

The Security Ministry is the only organization that has the authority to install and operate a surveillance system. That gives the city only one surveillance system, and that is much more efficient than having lots of independent systems. It also makes it easy to update the entire security system when new technology is ready. Furthermore, all of the data goes into one database, which makes it much easier for everybody to access to the data.

The scientists, citizens, and businesses that have ideas on where to install a surveillance camera, heat sensor, seismograph, or other type of surveillance item can post their suggestion in the Suggestions category. If their idea is implemented, and it turns out to provide valuable data, then they will have a success listed in their database entry.

The surveillance system will collect such an overwhelming amount of data that nobody is expected to sit in front of video monitors to observe the data. Instead, it will be stored in the Surveillance database of the city's computers.

Citizens can request hidden cameras in their home

The Legal System document mentioned that a person who is abused by their spouse, parents, or children are allowed to request the Security Ministry to install hidden cameras in their home so that they can get proof of the abuse. However, the Security Ministry has total control of the cameras and video, so the person who requested the cameras cannot do any editing of the video. That will prevent the person from removing the video that shows them instigating the trouble.

Since the destructive people are evicted or euthanized, the person who requested the hidden cameras doesn't have to worry about his abuser getting revenge on him.

Surveillance cameras must function properly

One of the problems with allowing individual citizens and businesses to install their own security system is that they don't always maintain the system properly. This has resulted in the police discovering that some cameras were broken, or that video had been overwritten before they had a chance to see it, or the system was of such low quality that the video was almost useless.

When a nation has lots of low quality and broken security systems, criminals can disable security systems to cover up a crime without arousing suspicion. For example, when Jeffrey Epstein died mysteriously, the people at the jail claimed that the cameras were malfunctioning at that particular moment. There are so many malfunctioning security cameras in the USA that nobody could be certain if they were lying.

Likewise, the US military claimed that the four low-quality video images of whatever crashed into the Pentagon on 11 September 2001 are the only images that their security cameras have.

The Security Minister is responsible for ensuring that the cameras are working properly, and he must be replaced if he cannot perform this job. We must not tolerate incompetence in the Security Ministry because there is no way to be certain if a security official is incompetent or deliberately trying to abuse us.

In order to improve the reliability of the cameras, the software that collects the video must be designed to identify cameras that are malfunctioning. This also requires the software to have some type of calibration information so that it can determine whether the lenses are dirty or blocked.

For example, when a camera is installed somewhere in the city, the technician would save some of the video from the camera for use as calibration video. That will allow the software to occasionally sample video from the camera, and compare it to the calibration video to ensure that the camera is sending images that resemble what it is expected to produce.

That will allow the software to identify cameras with dirty or broken lenses, or defective electronics. It will also identify cameras that have been covered by vegetation, or broken off of their mounting hardware.

The city has only one police department. It is similar to all existing police departments, except that this constitution imposes one radical change. Specifically, everybody is prohibited from fighting with the police. Everybody is required to treat the police in the same manner that they treat other employees of the city.

It is detrimental to allow people to fight with one another, and it is especially detrimental to let people fight with the people in security positions. Some of the reasons that people should not be allowed to fight with the police are:

•		It makes the job of a police officer undesirable. We prefer to work in a job that is peaceful. Therefore, when the police are required to tolerate abusive citizens, it makes their job unpleasant, and that makes it more difficult to find people who are willing to become police officers. This in turn results in police departments lowering standards in order to find people who are willing to do the job, which increases the chances that some of the officers are incompetent or dishonest.

•		It encourages other people to fight with the police. When the police are required to be tolerant of abusive people, it encourages other people to be abusive to the police. We will create a more pleasant social environment when everybody is required to treat everybody in a respectable manner.

•		It causes police officers to become irritable. When we encounter people who treat us in a pleasant manner, it makes us feel good, but when we encounter people who fight with us, it causes us to become fearful, irritable, angry, or violent. Police officers are human, and humans are apes, so we cannot expect them to remain calm and pleasant when they are routinely encountering people who are fighting with them. The human mind evolved to react to abusive behavior with anger and self-defense. Violence should be an unusual event in our life, not a routine part of our job. It is undesirable for all of us to live in a city in which the police are frequently irritated and on the verge of losing their temper. We will create a more pleasant environment for all of us when the police have a pleasant attitude, and that requires that everybody treat them with respect.

•		It results in unnecessary destruction and injuries. There are hundreds of videos on the Internet that show police officers struggling to be nice to criminals who are fighting with them, and this sometimes results in the destruction of property, or the injury or death of an officer or citizen. An example is the police officer on top of an automobile in this video. He is yelling at the criminal to turn off the car, and he is pointing his gun at the criminal, but the criminal ignores him and drives away with the officer struggling to hang onto the top of the car. The officer does not shoot; he is just bluffing, as they usually do. The criminals in the USA realize that the police avoid using their guns, so they frequently run away, or get into fights with the police. When the police tried to stop this woman who was driving a stolen car, she ignored them and tried to run over one of the officers. He ended up on the hood, and he shot at her. He hit her five times, but didn't kill her, although she died nine days later. She is another example of how the people who resist arrest can be very destructive. A person in a vehicle who is resisting arrest is a criminal with a deadly weapon. The police should not play games with them. The police should have tried to kill her as soon as she began resisting arrest, rather than just point their guns at the her and bluff.

All existing cultures consider it "normal" for crime levels to be so high that police officers are needed to patrol the city 24 hours a day. This constitution follows the security philosophy of businesses, militaries, and other organizations. Specifically, that the social environment of an organization is unacceptable if the crime levels are so high that the members fear of one another, and security officers must patrol the organization 24 hours a day.

In the USA, some of the schools have armed police officers, and tens of thousands of students are arrested by those policemen every year. This constitution considers a school system with that much crime to be disgusting.

Violent dogs are euthanized in the USA, but violent humans, including violent children, are more dangerous to us than violent dogs because humans have the intelligence and manual dexterity to commit more destructive and diabolical crimes. It is more important for us to euthanize or evict the violent humans than to euthanize the violent dogs.

This constitution does not promote pity for any violent animals, including human children. Violent humans are not regarded as innocent victims of discrimination, anti-Semitism, racism, sexism, or bad luck. Rather, they are regarded as genetically inferior or defective.

The creation of life is a chaotic process, and it results in a small percentage of the population being unable to fit into society. None of us should feel guilty that some humans have such mental disorders that they cannot behave properly. We should not feel guilty for euthanizing or evicting them.

This constitution requires the police to be as intolerant of violent humans as they are of violent dogs. The police are authorized to use tasers and guns to terminate fights as quickly as possible, as long as they have a video camera recording the incident. The video will allow us to determine whether they killed a person who was running away or fighting with them, or whether they killed an innocent person.

It is idiotic to fear the police

Many of the people who are afraid of the police will create frightening scenarios in which violent police officers are routinely killing innocent people, but it is idiotic to frighten ourselves with such scenarios. It is more sensible to make the job of a police officer more pleasant so that they are less likely to become irritated, frightened, and angered.

We should not be afraid that the police will kill innocent people. All animals, including police officers, have powerful inhibitions about killing their own species. Police officers are especially resistant to killing people who they respect. Therefore, it is in everyone's best interest to treat police officers with respect.

We have the ability to reduce crime

We do not have much of a problem with violent dogs because we remove them as soon as they become violent. We do not try to fix the violent dogs with punishments or rehabilitation programs. We would reduce the problem of violent dogs even further if we prohibited people from breeding violent dogs.

Crime has been increasing ever since people settled into cities, but we don't have to continue on this path. We have the ability to reduce crime to extremely low levels. All we have to do is apply the same policies with people that we apply with animals. However, this requires a dramatic change in our culture.

We must regard humans as animals rather than as creations of a god, or as creatures that mold themselves to their environment. We must acknowledge the evidence that human behavior is genetic, and that we cannot fix a person's genetic problems with punishments, Bible studies, rehabilitation programs, or therapy.

The fire department must design lightning rods that are decorative. They can also design them to incorporate cameras and weather instruments.

The fire department is responsible for extinguishing fires; setting standards for buildings and machines to make them more resistant to fires; inspecting buildings to ensure they follow the safety procedures; and recommending lightning rods to reduce fires.

One method that this Constitution uses to reduce fires in the city is to prohibit the apartments from having kitchens, dining rooms, and kitchen equipment, such as coffee making machines. Everybody must get their food and hot drinks from one of the restaurants.

The apartments cannot have fireplaces, either, and the fire department has the authority to recommend prohibiting candles in apartments, also, and other potentially dangerous sources of fire. The fire department can restrict candles and fireplaces to certain social areas, and restrict the fireplaces to burning alcohol so that there is no problem with sparks or pollutants. The ministers can also require that the devices that ignite candles and alcohol fires remain in those buildings, and that they be off-limits to children.

The government also has the option of prohibiting smoking in apartments, or the entire city. If somebody truly benefits from nicotine or marijuana, they can get it from an inhaler, skin patch, or edible product, rather than by smoking. This also eliminates the need to provide people with lighters and matches.

Firefighting is an intermittent job

No city has enough fires to justify hiring full-time firefighters, but not many societies provide for part-time firefighters. Instead, they hire full-time firefighters who find other tasks to do, mostly responding to medical emergencies.

The Alameda fire department responded to 9663 events, but only 201 were fires.

For example, the city of Alameda, California did a report on what their fire department was doing, and they discovered that 70% of the incidents that the fire department responded to were emergency medical services (EMS), and only 2% were to deal with fires. The statistics for other cities is similar.

The fire departments are spending almost all their time on medical issues. They rarely have to extinguish a fire. To make the situation more absurd, they tend to drive to a medical emergency in a fire truck, which are usually gigantic.

This Constitution requires the fire department to be an organization that exists only when needed for fire related tasks. The firefighters must have some other, full-time job, and they become firefighters only when there is a fire, and for training.

The Medical Ministry provides the medical services, not the fire department. If one of the firefighters wants to do medical services, then he can get a part-time or full-time job in the medical services.

Furthermore, the equipment the fire department uses to put out fires must be designed only for putting out fires, not for medical emergencies, and their vehicles must be capable of getting around a city that doesn't have many surface roads. Therefore, the fire department will need smaller, more maneuverable, and lighter weight vehicles compared to the American fire trucks.

The Medical Ministry needs vehicles for medical services, and they can be even smaller than the vehicles for fires, and they can also use drones for delivering supplies, and eventually for carrying a person to a hospital.

Eventually the software for controlling vehicles will be so advanced that nobody will need to drive the vehicles for fires or medical emergencies. Instead, a firefighter will give a destination to one or more vehicles, and the vehicles will drive themselves to the destination.

Eventually drones will be so advanced that they can be placed around the city, and the city's computers would use the city's surveillance system to monitor the city for smoke, fire, storms, and medical problems. When the computers sense a problem, they would send a drone to investigate, and they would notify the fire department or the medical personnel.

This Ministry is responsible for observing the government agencies, businesses, social affairs, parks, swimming pools, and all other aspects of the city, and looking for ways to improve the efficiency.

The presidents have to occasionally create, terminate, and combine ministries, but one of the problems that all governments have had all throughout history is that they tend to create more agencies than they terminate, thereby causing the governments to grow in size. Therefore, one of the responsibilities of the Efficiency Ministry is to pass judgment on whether the presidents are creating an excessive number of ministries, or letting them become excessively large.

The Efficiency Ministry must be concerned with the total number of employees in the ministries, and the amount of resources that they consume, not the number of ministries.

For example, if one president has 100 ministries that average only five employees each, that's a total of only 500 government employees, but if another president has 10 ministries with an average of 1000 employees, that is a total of 10,000 government employees.

The Efficiency Ministry is responsible for analyzing each of the ministries, and passing judgment on whether a minister should be fired; whether a ministry is doing enough useful work to justify its existence; whether a ministry uses too much labor and resources; and whether a ministry should be terminated.

The Efficiency Ministry is also authorized to pass judgment on whether the ministries are using resources in a productive manner, or wasting resources. For example:

•		If the Research Minister allocates resources for a project to terraform Mars for human habitation, the Efficiency Ministry should pass judgment on whether that is a useful project or a waste of labor and resources.

•		If the Leisure Minister allocates resources for people to practice solving the rotating puzzle cubes while standing on a skateboard, the Efficiency Ministry should pass judgment on whether that is a beneficial leisure activity.

The Efficiency Ministry is also authorized to pass judgment on whether the ministers are firing beneficial executives and allowing incompetent executives keep their job.

The Efficiency Ministry is also authorized to analyze the city parks and recreational areas to determine if any of them are using excessive amounts of water, labor, fertilizer, or other resources.

When the Efficiency Ministry makes one of these decisions, they must post a document in the Requests category, and at least one minister or president must respond. This will allow us to determine whether they are making sensible requests, and how the other government officials respond.

All ministries encourage part-time and temporary officials, but the Efficiency Ministry should consist mostly part-time and temporary officials, rather than full-time officials. This allows citizens get involved with the Efficiency Ministry when they have specific experience that would be useful in dealing with an issue.

For example, if somebody suspects a factory is using more labor and resources than similar factories, or he wonders why the water processing equipment of a swimming pool is using more electricity or requiring more maintenance than the equipment at other pools, the Efficiency Ministry should encourage people who have knowledge about those particular issues to become temporary officials of the ministry to supervise the investigation or participate in the analysis. After they have finished with their investigation, they return to their normal job.

By becoming a temporary official, rather than taking the role of a consultant, the person has more authority to do something. The temporary officials also provide the ministry with a wider variety of opinions and perspectives of the city compared to having a small group of full-time employees make all of the decisions.
