      If I ruled the world for a week … muhahahahahahaha!

      Seriously? I’d get everyone to make their decisions scientifically. Everyone would have to stop using quack cures like homeopathy and chiropractic, and start using medicines that had been scientifically shown to work. Everyone would have to stop voting down things like mobile phone masts “because the radiation may harm my children” and look at the scientific evidence for whether or not they were actually harmful. In all the rest of life, people would have to look at actual evidence before making their decisions – and I believe this would make the world a much better place.

      Like Greg I’d like to make everyone a bit more scientifically minded. For something different though, I would maybe try and reverse the effects of man-made global warming (if I even could!). With that I’d try to get as many people as possible to do what they can to cut their emissions, and force governments around the world to have stricter caps on CO2 emissions by listening to science and reason and all the evidence so it doesn’t happen again.

      Ahh to rule the world 🙂

      Oh wow. The boys ideas are good. I would try and find some cures for some horrible diseases and hopefully save some lives.
