My friend Christa came up with this when we were in high school. She wanted to put this on the Internet, but the dumb lady in the computer lab wouldn't let her. So I thought I would put this in the Internet for Christa.

The 12 Steps to Complete World Domination

1. Acceptance: Accept your fate as leader of this forsaken chunk of rock we so fondly call home. This step should be made when young, preferably in high school.
2. Run for local office: A local office is an easier battle to win for a first-timer than a federal one. Once in office, begin making plans to become governor of your state while filtering all available funds to your bank in Switzerland.
3. Run for Governor: Once in this office, change all legislation to fit your needs while keeping your popularity up. Popularity with the people is very important in steps 2 through 11. Once again, make plans to become a senator or a representative while filtering money.
4. Run for Senate or House membership: This step isn't as important as the others, but is necessary for popularity's sake.
5. Run for Pres.: It doesn't matter which party you run for, because once in office you will change all laws in your power while keeping popularity up.
6. Disbar: You must disbar all lawyers in the senate and house and fire all other senators and representatives.
7. Joint Chiefs of Staff: Fire them all except the commandant of the marine corps (he should be on your side by this time).
8. Name yourself Chancellor: This step is essential. Your propaganda minister should be keeping your popularity up. If not, fire him.
9. Run for Sec. Gen. of the U.N.: These people should trust you completely. If not, your propaganda minister is not doing his job and the U.N. members will need to be hypnotized. It will not be easy, but you can do it. Remember your popularity points!
10. Sec. Gen.: Once you have become Sec. Gen., change all policies, end all wars, and unite all countries. Keep your popularity up, especially now.
11. Queen: Name yourself queen. You can now create your own government, your own laws, and your own rules of succession.
12. Congratulations: You've made it. World domination is yours! Popularity is no longer essential, but is still important if you wish to keep your office and title as well as your head. The people must respect you and your policies or you will be overthrown.
    Suggestions: Increase education funding, keep a balanced budget, stop all revolutionaries before they become martyrs, and encourage self-expression.
    Don't forget: This world is now yours. Take care of it.
