Wishlist

I want:

a country that believes in freedom and liberty for everyone in the world.

a country that allows for religious beliefs, or lack there of, to be practiced freely.

a government that comprehends the atrocities of war and works toward peace at every turn.

a country that understands that religious beliefs should be separate from public policy.

a country that doesn't restrict the rights of its citizens to seek partnership, regardless of the gender involved.

a government that knows how to balance their own budget.

a job that challenges me and makes a positive difference toward the greater good while paying a living wage.

a community that supports all walks of life and celebrates diversity.

an education system that doesn't simply teach to the test, but promotes an environment of creativity and true learning.

a country that understands health care is a basic right of all human beings and that a high quality of life for everyone helps everyone.

a government that realizes the American way of life is harmful to non-Americans and that a reduction in waste and gluttony would promote democracy and freedom more than tanks and bombs.

a government that realizes taxes need to be raised to support communities, but that wasteful spending should not be accepted.

a government that realizes the irreplacability of the environment and the obligation to protect and nurture it.

a music industry that understands that file sharing can only serve to help musicians.

a political party that isn't full of corrupt, short-sighted and extremely wealthy shysters.

and while I'm at it - a decent set of quality holiday lights, fellow drivers who observe road etiquette, diversity in entertainment, uncrackable CD cases and a worldwide cure for bacne.

As Rodney Dangerfield would say

call it Fantasyland.

Let me know when you are going, I'd like to hitch a ride.

And a pony.

#2 is impossible, since some religions require witnessing.

Good Luck...

It's not only your country. Just about everywhere you go the government will lie, the education system will be neglected, musicians are whining about downloading, and there will be intolerance for other people and religious fruitcakes trying to control your government.
