YOUR wish lists
Yeah, it's been done before, but considering how many hot-button issues are currently going on, I thought this would be an engaging and hopefully eye-opening to people on these issues, and others.

If you somehow found a genie in a bottle, and you were going to get as many wishes as you wanted, only they couldn't be for yourself--they have to be for the greater good of all, what would you change? Be aware of something important, though: there are some times when you can't please everyone. At other times, you have to be ruthless. Other times, people are going to be only after a quick-fix, even if you know what needs to happen might not show immediate results.

Yes, it's wish fulfillment, but it can also see how deeply a person has thought of potential solutions to given problems.

PS: You don't have to fill in ALL the different situations unless you so desire. (Yeah, it takes time and thought to make some choices, and I respect that. Take your time. It'll probably sink pretty fast, otherwise, and maybe some will prefer it that way!)


Homophobia


Anti-choice advocates


Religious Right


World poverty, overpopulation, lack of education, natural resources


Illegal drugs (you can exclude MJ if you want to, but that's all)


Criminal justice, equitability of punishments


Insurance companies


Corporate power


Science and Evolution


Wild card (Pick your choice other than above)
