Why would you change the world?


Instead of answering the question of this slam, I'd like to ask you, the reader, a question.

Why would you change the world?

 

Think about it.  To change one thing is to change everything else in the world.  Erase crime from the world, you also get rid of the police and swat.  Change the human body to be able to have super powers, you also create the super villains that will soon follow.  Remove war, the world would over populate, starvation would be more common, the amount of pollution would rise, and so on.  So to get rid of the bad, also erases the good that was there to balance it.

 

So instead of answering the question of this slam, I'd like you to rethink your answer and ask...

Why would I change the world?
