Ron Swanson, the one man with enough ideas to run America kinda efficiently.

With the 2016 election approaching and tons of media coverage about the potential presidential candidates, many "Parks and Recreation" fans are probably wishing Ron Swanson could run for president. With his libertarian beliefs, hatred of the government, and his undying love for America and freedom, Ron Swanson would be the perfect person to change the way America is run and make the government simply okay.

On world history:

Ron has a vast knowledge of world history, which is something that is vital for a good president to have.

On foreign policy:

One of the many things that comes up in presidential debates, speeches, and the daily life of the president is foreign policy. Ron Swanson knows that the best way to deal with foreign countries is to just not.

On his vice president:

Being close with your vice president is important, and Ron certainly knows that. Despite his obvious dislike of people, he would still manage to constantly support his vice president.

On capitalism:

Ron believes that capitalism is the only way. No exceptions.

On helping those in need:

Ron is a firm believer of "every man for himself" when it comes to politicians, and keeping his emotions out of the equation will help him run this country smoothly.

On taxes:

Enough said.

On America's beauty:

Ron understands the truly beautiful aspects of America's freedom.

On dealing with other candidates:

Donald who? Ron knows how to throw his opponents off their game, especially when they try to get too friendly with him. Simply call them the wrong name to put them back in their place.

On businesses:

He knows exactly how business should be handled.

On dealing with authority:


Who needs permits or permission? Not Ron Swanson!

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
