I am not talking about changing the human condition, like getting rid of suffering or fat people, or removing free will. I am talking about things that grind on your nerves and occasionally your soul.
Shitty music playing in gyms. I swear I feel my estrogen levels climb and weights become heavier when I don’t bring my ipod to cover up the shit that comes out of those speakers. I realize musical tastes differ, but at the least silence >>>>>>>>>>>>> the mix of top 40/dubstep shit/country I have to put up with.
If we can’t say stuff like AIDS or world hunger or something like that, I would have to pick those groups of factory workers with no teeth and poor personal hygiene who always win huge lottery jackpots. Why can’t a nice middle class, educated couple or individual win one of those?

Because people who get how shitty the odds really are tend to play less often?

You gotta think of a lottery ticket not as a chance to win, but as a ticket to dream about winning. A dollar for some nice daydreams seems like a good deal, especially since a dollar can’t get you much of anything concrete.
I would also like to get rid of the sun newspaper, which worryingly is (I believe) the most influential newspaper in the country (England, U.K.) apparently despite the fact it promulgates a load of bullshit daily which many, many, people absorb as the gospel truth…
