What would it be?

For me, I would do away with illegal drugs.

If I could change anything, I would eliminate hypotheticals. If I couldn't do that, I would cure cancer.

I would put in place term limits for ALL political positions local and federal eliminating the current career politician mentality. Included in the implementation would be the immediate (within 6 months) replacement of any over age 70 (sorry about that but they too should be retired not retired in office). Secondly any in office more than two terms to be replaced within 12 months.

That all people would truly see through the antics of politicians and vote according to this, for our nation's failing health:

"A politician looks forward only to the next election. A statesman looks forward to the next generation."

That people would pause a moment, look around, and be thankful for what they have.

I wrote this in reply to another question and it was removed by Admin - hopefully your reply will stick!

If I could change ONE thing in the world today it would be for all human beings to really understand the world they live in. In short be insightful. Because of this deficit we decide badly and often to harm or we are harmed by others because we lack understanding what they are capable of doing.

i would put traditional family values back in place with the woman staying home and raising the children while the man earned a living. Once that stopped it was all downhill.........

I would like to see ALL animal abuse stop. Living in a big city we see it on the news often where people leave their dogs chained up outside during extreme heat or cold. We see frail skinny dogs with their ribs showing and dogs that have been beaten. A few months ago someone threw some puppies out the car window while driving. This abuse breaks my heart.

I would like all dogs/cats to have a happy loving home.
