FANTASY: If You had the power to change the world...what would you do??
OK, Bush out of office is the first thing most of us would do, but I'm wondering what we'd do AFTER that?

4. Fair enough. I'll make Bush bet against them every time
with half his life's saving each bet.

5. Make the world revolve around me.
Then I'd make "This Land is Your Land" the national anthem and make southern English the standard and that stilted northern noise the dialect.

Then, let's see, no more mass produced beers, I'd take the Oscar from Return of the King and give it to any other film that year, I'd make intelligence more appealing than stupidity, and I'd instate the death penalty for journalists who lie. And bring back Sinead O'Connor, dammit.

Oh yeah, world peace, no hunger, the Rangers win the World Series, etc.

13. I'll take it
Not sure it was the best, but I could understand an argument that put it there. Unlike other films that won Best Picture for that year.

Some other choices I'd like: Pirates, Holes, Whale Rider, Bend it Like Beckham, Finding Nemo, Finding Harpo, Finding Anything, Bending Anything, Digging Anything, and my favorite, Everything but LOTR.

12. In or out of power?
I think I'd vote for some sort of WPA plan for the unemployed here in the US. Hell, give people opportunities, training, and a paycheck all while reinvesting in our own infrastructure.

21. Feed The Hungry.
That's the first thing you do. Nobody on this planet should ever be hungry again. There's food enough to go around.

When every living being on Earth has a full stomach, everything else will fall into place.
