Post here, your idea that would change the world.

[valis]

If only you had the money to implement it.

[bhunt70]

1. free fresh fruit for everyone, every wednesday.

as much as you could eat.

[valis]

2. hmmmmmmmm.....

[ghostsofgiants]

3. Free gold fronts for everyone

With their names (or word of choice) engraved on the front teeth.

[Reverend_Smitty]

9. if everyone was more like Flavor Flav...

surely world peace would be at hand

[ghostsofgiants]

11. I'm sayin'!

Maybe I should include free clocks in my plan, too.

[nuxvomica]

28. A truth bomb

Some sort of contraption or chemical that permanently prevents all people from lying. There'd be some hurt feelings and probably some fist fights to begin with, but after a while we'd all get used to it. And the neocons and dominionists would probably disappear entirely.

edit: replied to wrong post. :dunce:

[ET Awful]

4. Indictment of the entire Bush administration.

Of course that would require more than money to accomplish.

[auntAgonist]

5. we have a winner!

[punpirate]

6. Synthetic photosynthesis...

... to capture CO2 because trees were being cut and burned at a greater rate than they were being replaced.

[CJCRANE]

8. How about human photosynthesis...

so we could live off sunshine...

[valis]

10. That is a good idea.

[punpirate]

16. Would be nice...

... but I don't the diet would be quite broad enough for sustenance. :)

[intheflow]

7. Photovoltaic roof shingles and

wind tubines for every man, woman, and child's domicile on the planet. Free renewable energy! :thumbsup:

And what the hell, I'll throw in a water purification and recycling system in each home as well.

[valis]

12. Great idea.

14. First, I'd go for a state of the art, triple-verified voting system

[Tsiyu]

15. Peace, Love and Understanding

with re-edumication camps for those who don't get peace, love and understanding! LOL!

[Options Remain]

17. Reliable 100% electric automobiles

starting with tractor trailer units.

[Wapsie B]

18. A foundation in this country

to pay the medical bills of those families burdened by medical debt. Healthcare should be a right in this country, not something that can ruin people financially.

[Shrubhater]

19. A car powered off the sound of a car radio of tape deck.

It would be pollution free power.

[Shrubhater]

20. A power plant run off the earth's magnetic field.

It may partly solve the energy problems.

[Allenberg]

21. An incinerator for all the world's weaponry.

[In_The_Wind]

22. medical care, food, shelter for every living creature

wind and solar power

transportation that doesn't use fossil fuel

[deutsey]

33. Not my idea, but Bill Hicks'

"It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings, and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourselves off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here's what you can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defence each year, and instead spend it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, for ever, in peace."

It seems so damn simple, doesn't it? But I can't foresee us, as a species, ever having the intelligence or courage to do it.

Another Hicks quote comes to mind: The human race is a virus with shoes.

[Orsino]

23. Geothermal heat pumps for all!

Still not sure how far down one must drill to get a useful temperature differential, but it would be nice to have one's own backyard power plant.

Go photovoltaic on the roof, and erect a windmill, and stay off the grid for most of the day!

[In_The_Wind]

24. ahem ...

store unused power generated by the windmills and sell excess production back to the grid

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. All the ideas so far are very good;

My idea would encompass all of them, and then there would be plenty more: Put the world's women in charge of basically everything...and I do mean EVERYTHING.

[nevergiveup]

26. A diet that cures cancer

[Shrubhater]

31. Sorry, it's already been done!

A diet consisting of alkaline foods will cure cancer. If you don't have cancer and you eat alkaline foods it will be impossible to get cancer. (But only if you keep eating them!)

[GCP]

27. A solar powered CO2 absorber

Something like a chemical solution which air could be bubbled through using solar electricity, and precipitated as calcium carbonate. This could be put on the land or whatever. Every house could have at least 2 as these machines could be pretty small.
The world would need millions but it might make a difference.

[dajoki]

29. if everyone on earth

would send me a nickle i'd become one hell of a philanthropist and therefore help change the world.;)

[bigtree]

30. I'd open an art farm with about 10 or more free artist borders who would

promise to keep the results of their stay in my in town gallery for a month or so.

If we refocus our national attention to the arts we could transform the world with our creativity and imagination. Less time for militarism.

[KaliTracy]

32. two books a month for every newborn for 1 year

(but not "commercial" cartoon character/tvshow/ books) -- and then 1 book every 3 months until the age of 7).

or bringing back something like the RIF (Reading is Fundamental) trucks, and going all over the country. I'd love to have "The BookLady" Van and just go all over giving books away, and while I would take other gently read books as trade for newer ones, any child who wanted a book would get one.

[Robb]

34. Wooden bathtubs for all

Plus mandatory 2:30 bathtime. :)
