OUR PERSONAL QUEST FOR A SIMPLER, FAIRER, AND MORE SETTLED WORLD

It seems true to this writer that every person’s across-the-board well-being might be vastly improved upon if only certain fundamental changes could be enacted – some seemingly rather complex, but most of them simple, at least in principle, and not really all that impractical. We feel they would bring about tremendous improvement to mankind’s ultimate benefit and peace of mind.

Wouldn’t it be nice if:
· Israel would cease to be a political entity and become only a religious haven?
· Congressional lobbying were completely outlawed?
· Religion were practiced by everyone on a seven-day per week basis, instead of just one?
· Corruption would be declared a crime punishable by death or life imprisonment?
· The people of Northern Ireland would decide to agree on what constitutes Christianity?
· TV commercials were outlawed?
· News broadcasts were limited to simple reporting only, totally devoid of analytical comment?
· All Republicans would shut up?
· The reformer-for-better-health types would attack candy, gum, and soft drink consumption, as well as that of cigarettes?
· Passenger automobiles would be made to disappear completely, restricting street and highway traffic to trucks and buses?
· Being obese would be deemed a crime punishable by fine or imprisonment?
. Every smoker could acquire a strong enough will to kick the habit?
