Well, if we're talking pure fantasy, then this is easy. I think the world would be much better off if beer gave you six-pack abs and fried and salty foods increased your health and lifespan.

Shackle their minds when they're bent on the cross
When ignorance reigns, life is lost

Quote:the part that wouldn't work is the "welfare state" idea.
Consider this... let's say "Fred" didn't go out with his friends and spent his time doing his homework so he got an "A" in class.
On the other hand, "Suzie" being the party girl didn't bother with her homework and got an "F".
To balance things out it makes sense to take half of Fred's grade and give it to Suzie so everyone gets a respectable "C".
That's just great except that Fred just got screwed. In a way he was punished for his effort while Suzie was rewarded for having fun. It wouldn't be long before everyone balanced out automatically. There would be no incentive for achievement.
That's why socialism doesn't work.
A welfare state and socialism are not the same thing.
Socialism is a system where all factories and other things about production are in common ownership. A welfare state means a system that ensures welfare to the citizen in the form of education, health care and support.
Check your dictionarys if you want, Im not a 100% sure about my definitions of socialism and welfare statism, but Im a 100% sure that theyre not the same thing.

Correct me when I'm wrong.
Accept me or go to hell.

I think the world would be a better place if people would stop using the words 'socialism' and 'fascism' as euphemisms for "not what I believe".

Yeah, that will do it.

Also, making sure that we have more youtube videos of Whitney Houston being a train wreck could be a close second.
