So, last week, I was talking to someone over Xbox Live and they told me what they'd do in the event they'd take over the world. He has said that he would:
Give me Nicaragua.
Replace all money with a global currency, and most likely try to divert some of the money from richer nations to some third-world countries.
Computerize almost all monetary transactions (and implied that credit would be run by the government itself)
Rehabilitate all but the most severe of criminals (Rapists, murderers, those who run pyramid schemes, terrorists, armed robbers etc.) and most likely either totally eliminate petty crime due to the new economy, or would rehabilitate petty criminals (thieves, pickpockets, etc.)
Have the worst of the prisoners (Terrorists, serial killers, serial rapists, etc.) be used to test medicines and such that have been proven to be safe for animals to see if they work on humans.
Fight to protect free speech
Ensure that Michael Bay only works on the technical aspects of movies (That is, the stuff that he doesn't fuck up on)
Now, next time I talk to him, I'd probably suggest some other things (Create a minimum legal bandwidth that ISPs can set and a maximum price based on bandwidth, Set a bare minimum for internet security of large organizations, overhaul the education system to feature smaller classes, less major tests, less dumbed-down information (teach the kids in the Americas about Leif Erickson at a younger age, for instance), and less corruption (Like, say, the superintendent of a school district giving his mistress (yes, as in the kind you cheat on your wife with) an important position or hiring someone to run the district's special ed. programs because they'll declassify all of the special ed. kids, etc. And yes, both of those happened in my local school district), and prevent news networks *coughFOXcough* from cutting the audio feed from people in the middle of their argument because they happened to disagree with the news station's view or debunk the logic behind their argument (Like the recent thing with Games being legally recognized as art, and FOX cutting someone off for pointing out something that debunked their whole argument. Hell, FOX just constantly cutting people off in general), among other things).
So, what would you do if you took over the world.
