Dear kill321, you are a very insightful philosopher; the last item on your list of things to change is 'The Media'....do you agree that irresponsible media makes bad situations worse, and cause great harm to people when the priority is attention rather than accuracy?

Your later point is the one I'm worried about most.

Well either the whole world should switch to Portugals drug policy.....if its still the one where drug use is legal and the worse that might happen to someone with a drug problem 'legally' is they will have help offered which they can either refuse or accept. It was a documentary so I don't know if that is still the most current policy, I think it may be though) If the whole world was that way I imagine there would be no war on drugs which would get rid of a lot of problems in my opinion.

Otherwise there should be no government and a better way of running functioning societies.

It would be a very long way to realize a society without any government.
I think that there wasn't any functioning society in the past.

There would be a job for everybody who wants to work and a place to live, for everyone who wants one.

During elections, only static silhouettes of politicians and statesmen would be shown, and speeches would have to be written by the candidate itself without speech-writers and would have to be memorized.

Efficiency would take a higher priority, and individuals would be expected to be more responsible for their own actions and choices.
