you are way to young to know what it was like during the cold war. living in fear of the nuke from russia. Duck and cover and all that bull.

I like your question. The answer is: the world would be a much, much better place--more intelligent, more civilized, less shallow & superficial, and definitely less materialistic. I'm all for the extermination of "dumb celebrities."

It has the potential to fix a lot of problems. Maybe we can stop worrying about fighting that battle and work on healing the continent/country(at that point). It would help to better the world as a whole and allow many new points of view and plans to better the world come to fruition.

Is there anybody out there who isn't? Just imagine if all that money spent on campaign ads went to feeding the hungry, or sheltering the homeless. How much better a world it would be.

If I could, I would snap my fingers and every single person on this planet would be trully happy.  With that, there would be no threats, no wars, and no hate.  There would be pure compassion, fun, and charity.  Everyone would help everyone else and the world would be amazing.  I don't mean everyone the same, smiling, robotic people.  I mean everyone is a good person who is trully happy.  It would be incredible.

I would have all of the world's corporate criminals, corrupt politicians, sadists, and the murderously delusional executed. Then I would reform all of society so everyone has an equal opportunity to obtain health care, education, and a home. Finally, I would promote the development of technologies that allow everyone to live in comfort without negatively impacting the environment.

I'd change the human greed for power and money. So the human being could start sharing with each other.\nAs a result, there would be less war, less poverty, ...

Definitely world peace, because if wars keep getting worse and worse someone's gonna "push the button," the world as we know it will end, and being wealthy would not enable anyone to do anything about it.

Well -- it could be better, sure.\n\nBut, when you consider the alternatives:\n\n(1)  For example, the Chinese government, which arrests law abiding citizens just because they hold Bible studies.   Keep them locked up for years.\n\n(2)  China also harvests the organs of political prisoners (there are reports they are simply killed for the organs).\n\n(3)  Think of the extreme governments around the world that hold their women to sub-servient roles, denying them education or career advancement.\n\n(4)  Despotic tribal governments which are conducting acts of genocide on refugee camps, or their own people fleeing the destruction of their own villages.\n\nYou read about this, and you often think, "Didn't this happen in the Dark Ages?"   Sadly, it's a reality that affects over half the planet.   Yes, over half.\n\nSo, while our government can always use improvement, I am grateful to live here.   And, if you really want to change America, you CAN make a difference.

World Peace.  It would benefit every single person.

Actually ... yeah ... I think it could could. If everyone in the world was filled with genuine love for others, we'd be rid of war, poverty, and greed.\n\nBut that's never going to be the way things are. For some reason, there always has to balance, and we never really appreciate the good without the bad to offset it.

Personaly nothing, in fact I think soceity would become a better to live in fo we were to become a secular nation.\nNo more people using religion to push their ideology onto others, or trying to hinder peoples lifestyle or dictate how one should live or can not live.

Are you trying to say the world wouldn't be messed up if George Bush hadn't been elected? Brilliant deduction Einstein.\n.

I think there is a new world coming, I call it the future. I don't know if it will be better or worse than the world we have now. Bush will be out of office soon; that's one bright spot. I'm inclined to think it will be worse simply because there will be more people around in the future, and that can only spell trouble. As for what I'm doing to make it better...not much. I am trying not curse around children as often, I guess that's something.
