God For A Day

A few days ago my philosophy teacher posed a question for homework. The question was, "Say you are God for a day, what would you change in the cosmos?" Immediately a rush of things came to my mind. Get rid of cancer, AIDS, war, starvation... But then we were hit with the catch to this question. You couldn't remove something, like a disease, you had to add something.

Well, I couldn't come up with anything for the next class period, but I was still thinking about this as I was getting ready for philosophy today. And I've come up with my answer. I would add a car engine that ran on trash instead of gasoline (kind of like what you see in Back to the Future II) and instead of emitting terrible fumes like engines do today, this engine would emit 100 percent pure water into a little container attached to the back of the car.

I bet the oil companies would be real pissed about that one.

Being God for a day is a fun thing to think about. I'm sure there are a lot better options than my engine, but I thought it was a fun option and still a good idea.
