If I ruled the world

If I were in charge of the world the first thing I would do away with is alarm clocks. Period!
The second thing I would abolish is hunger - - how? you say. Well, food would become like air. This world is capable of feeding itself with abundance. Food should never be a consideration of survival.
Then, I would make mandatory a period of time that every person works in service of his fellow man. Even people who are disabled or otherwise infirm, can do something. It might just be proofreading or participation in discussion groups, but everyone can do something for one year.
I would make music essential education, and I would make money tied to gold. Nothing more, nothing less.
I would encourage each to perform to his potential and pay them for it.
I would make Bar-Be-Que a fine cuisine.
People would like birds and water and camp fires and hard work and color.
I would make it fashionable to be a good mommy and have home art skills.
I would make all people feel worth and belonging.
I would design a system of checks and balances so that those in the lead actually lead with love.
I would make those that follow enjoy their role and not feel less than critical.
I would get rid of violent video games and movies, and I would take the world "hate" out of the vocabulary.
I would insist that we all get along!
I would make airline tickets affordable.
I would get rid of pollution and have clean energy.
I would have people plant trees and clean up their yards and take down the Christmas lights two weeks after Christmas.
I would find a cure for cancer.
I would encourage dental hygiene.
I would make summer longer without forfeiting the wonderful fall days when the marching band is playing and football is in the air. I would keep winter just the way it is except everyone would have a warm and safe home to snuggle down into at the end of the day. I would not let Spring come too late.
I would invite all people to plant a garden and tend it and enjoy the magic of growing something.
I would drink wine from grapes that are fat and juicy.
I would wear only comfortable clothes.
I would make smoking painful.
I would make child abusers and rapists live together and work for the health and welfare of pigs until they identified with the pigs. Then I would help them reform themselves and give them relevant meaning.
I would end abortion. No one would ever not want her baby.
I would make the street sweeper laugh and the wealthy man share because he wants to, not because he has to.
I would end war.
I would make it sacred to honor beautiful architecture and innovation and art.
Over all this, I would make the world grateful for all these amazing gifts. I would encourage all people to worship God however they want to as long as hating someone else was not involved.
I would keep Briana young all the while still encouraging her to grow up happy and healthy with a desire to go and do and learn and explore and feel safe.
Afterwards, I would just enjoy the view of some snowy mountain range or beautiful sunset. My work would be done.
