If I ruled the world:
“If I ruled the world…”; am I the only one that’s ever wondered what it’d be like? I feel like it’s one of those passing thoughts that seem to cross your mind, like why don’t English singers have an accent when they sing, or how the quote “head over heels” originated; since we’re head over heels normally? But, what I mean, is whenever you listen to the news on TV or on the radio and hear about an epidemic striking the world like the H1N1 flu or another war, don’t you ever feel like you could do a better job taking care of the earth?

Finally, to achieve the ideal world, in my opinion, we would have the get rid of the root of all evil: money. While many of you may wonder how we’ll ever live without money; how we’ll eat, how we’ll drink, or how we’ll do anything, there is a much more efficient way of getting everything you’ll need: by trading. While this may sound absolutely ridiculous to some of you, it would truly
