Hi Zoned

If I could change the world. Well peace as you said is a good one.

If I could end poverty I would, and make sure everone had a roof over their heads.

I would promote tolerance among people, I use to work with handicapped people and the intolerance was bad. I would also make it compulsory to laugh at least once a day, a good laugh does wonders, and I get one every day when I look in the mirror.

If there was crime the people who commit them would be very sorry, by the time I had finished with them.

Interesting subject, look forward to hearing other peoples comments.

Thank you Maragaret Dear

Thank you for responding to my post! Much appreciated. Also, if I could change the world,I would make everday a sunny day as sun is vital to the mind,spirit and health. As you all can tell I am a very positive and optimistic person! So,if I had "the power" I would put an end to cloudy days forever.Also,if I could change the world,I would put a halt to over-priced athletes making millions of dollars for playing games.However I still like sports.I just think the salaries are a bit high. Oh well! p.s. I live near Detroit Mihigan - so I root for the Detroit Tiger baseball team. GO TIGERS!!! Anybodly else like to come up with ideas to change the world? Let's hear them.

Hi Zoned,

What a great thread idea this is ... thanks for starting it out :up:

I would like to see everyone have equal health care and insurance at an affordable price.

Limit company executives salary (in the US) to no more than our President earns. These same executives, who can afford anything they desire, receive FREE cars, FREE gasoline, FREE health insurance, FREE housing allowance, FREE most everything else - to earn 2.7 million and get all that stuff as "perks" is absolutely rediculous.

I would like impose a law to where every Senator, Legislator, Congressperson, at state or national level would be limited to serve only 2 terms. There is too much dead wood (one from an eastern US state comes to mind) in these offices of power - It's high time they are removed from their Ivory Towers and try life as a common person.

I agree that the professional sports are paying way too much for athletes too ... the exception would be Golfers, who are competing on their own one-on-one for their daily bread.

I've got more ideas, but out of time right now.

I would get me a house big enough to adopt a whole bunch of animals from the shelter, and give money to children charities, hospitals, research, etc.

I woould institute harsh punishments for criminals. I would make it necessary for people to be more aware and use their heads more (I guess change the education system to instill the value of thought, reflection, analysis).

I cant think of other stuff right now, but I will mention it when i do ;)

p.s. I absolutely love the idea of mandatory laugh:grin:

If I could change the world, I would have the whole world looking
like heaven where we would never have any wars,fights, and
squables, and never grow old and just stay children.

Thank you for the great thread.

I would make it an Alanis Morissette UTOPIA.
in this song She mentions everything that should be done I guess :).

we'd gather around all in a room fasten our belts engage in dialogue
we'd all slow down rest without guilt not lie without fear disagree sans judgement

we would stay and respond and expand and include and allow and forgive and
enjoy and evolve and discern and inquire and accept and admit and divulge and
open and reach out and speak up

This is utopia this is my utopia
This is my ideal my end in sight
Utopia this is my utopia
This is my nirvana

I have a better idea. I would like for heaven to come to earth because
right now there is nothing but war and pain everywhere in this world.

Good point, Corno. It would be difficult to create a world perfect for everyone.

You know, I'm smiling right now because when I hear "The Eternal One", my first association is with Joey De Francesco. I just can help it:grin::grin:

I believe God already has a heaven like that prepaired for us who live by
his word. Don't just believe. Have faith, and do some of his will to help
others who are less fortunate.

Changing the world starts with changing one's self. :) If everyone changed for the better, we're going to have a better world.
