    If you could snap your fingers and cause anything in this world to cease to exist, what would it be?

    My short list is comprised of:

    Poverty
    Bullies
    Coyotes
    Fire Ants

    Right now, I would give the nod to coyotes.

    I am curious what others may un-create.

    That's an easy one: Sin. It's the root of all ill things, at least from my point of view.

    Loved the yote nod....mine wouldn't get that taken care of so perhaps I'd add that on if given two :D

    Stupid people.

    Ending world hunger would be much more realistic though.

    Funny... No I had just got eaten alive by fire ants in our garden and commented to my son that if I could snap my fingers, fire ants would be gone. He reminded me I had already made that comment regarding coyotes... so I had to choose one. I can legally poison ants so I gave the nod to coyotes. I don't know what a Miss America contestant would choose.

    This is easy. If I could snap my fingers and rid the world of things that once gone would make the world a better place, the list (in no particular order) would be.

    1. Lust
    2. Gluttony
    3. Greed
    4. Sloth
    5. Wrath
    6. Envy
    7. Acedia
    8. Crossbows used for hunting by able bodied hunters (but then I think that getting rid of greed and sloth as listed above would have already cured this scurge)

    Greed, hands down. It's the #1 reason most things turn to crap in my opinion.

    With the shape most people in this country are in, clothing is a blessing.

    Leaders who think the population are hear for them.

    If they truly lead with the best intention for the people the rest of the issues would fall into place. IMO

    example: Africa vs America

    Vito stole my "stupid people" idea. The side effect of that wish would be that probably over half the worlds population would disappear in a blink of an eye.

    Another net effect would be that there would be far more Conservatives than liberals left on the planet. Just saying.

    Well if you want to get rid of greed, that wouldn't be necessarily true.
