Please use this item to enter your idea of a perfect world.  Feel free
to be as sick and blood-thirsty as you want, including types of people
you'd want wiped from existance.  I'm sure everybody has a general
idea of my idea of a perfect world.

Without desires.

Think of how boring that would be though.

re #0: no, some of us don't.  Want to tell us?

My idea of a perfect world would be hard to define, especially since I'm still
trying to figure out what perfect is.

A perfect world would have to include a lot of imperfections, or it
would not be perfect.

Gerund, well for one thing, my attitude towards Christianity is volitile.
That might give you a few clues.

re #5: keep going.

A perfect world would be what we have now, only more so.

Re #7: If I understand you correctly then you are saying a perfect world from
your viewpoint would mean more violence, more traffic jams, more sickness,
more cases of AIDS, as well as more of all the 'good' things in our world?
Our world is obviously not perfect, and  I guess if I understand
you you're saying it needs to be even more nonperfect, then it will be perfect.
I think I need a little clarificati^Non.

Look, gerund, we want each person's definition of THEIR perfect world.
I admit I should have named the item "YOUR perfect world", but I did not.
I just want to get people's opinions on what THEY would call a perfect
world.  I'll admit I'm being a bit rude, but I am trying to make a point
even if my point is a source of drift.

re #9: asking for clarification, as in #8 is not drift.  I mearly want to
understand what is being said.

Okay... Forget I said anything.

Obviously I don't understand something, but as it seems to be causing a
problem, I'll shut up.

My vision of a perfect world would be one where I would be able to
react appropriately to at least 99% of what happens around me.  Stuff
like putting one foot in front of the other and keeping my balance
in the process (heck, I wouldn't even expect myself to chew at the
same time ;-).  For that other less than 1% I'd like to be able to
respond to the people and things and awarenesses that I perceive.

In a perfect world, I'd be able to choose how I understand life.
I'd be able to learn, to grow, and to be creative.  I'd choose for
myself values to respect and "masters" to learn from.  I'd be able
to feel varying degrees of connectedness as I became more aware of
myself and others, and I'd trust that my feelings are my truest 
guide.

In a perfect world, I'd become responsible and able to respond.  I'd
choose where to invest my time and energy.  I would take care of myself
and my community the best way I knew how, and would feel good about
every action I take and thought that I think.

In a perfect world, I'd balance myself between boredom and excitement.

Oh, and did I forget to mention a better connection with the Internet?

I think in a perfect world, everyone would be named Picard, but look like
Mariana Sirtis... Oops. Sorry. I don't know where that came from... 
CD's would sure as heck be cheaper, though.

And people would have names that make some sense....

In a perfect world, Singapore would make the punishment fit the crime.

Ok, two lashes instead of six!  Six for reckless endangerment.

and seven for feckless engenderment

And eight for forkless gendarmes!

And religion would be outlawed.

And ten for genderless armed forks!
And Ben's for kender-less farm orcs!
And Ben's a ork-free kender farm
erm, orc
And Ben's oaktree lent her arms!
And...

"If you could come back and take out the five people who had caused you the
most misery in your life, who would they be and why?"

"I only get five?"

Practice makes perfect but nobody's perfect so why should we practice?

<lee is still thinking about the perfect world>
No worries, carefree, no problems?
