Wishful thinking?

My Top Ten list would be:

1. Methods of scientific analysis will finally step completely away from "size matters".

2. Theories will no longer be taught as fact, instead we will teach proper fact dissemination and assimilation even if it disagrees with our personal theories. Part of my "No data left behind!" program.

3. Corporations are broken down into regional, independent entities encouraging local corporations and competition which would distribute the wealth and job markets more evenly.

4. People's sex lives are no longer a matter of public debate or interest.

5. The government finally realizes how ridiculous it is to pay a premium price for low cost items and incentivizes cost reductions that come under budget.

6. We admit why we're really exploring space and forget about life on other planets for a while. Extending our exploration to the Sea on Earth instead resulting in "oh look, life on Earth. Let's figure that sh-- out first!".

7. Successful business models are now a subscription service, allowing anyone to partake in what works. (This business model is for sale, just $20/yr - see idea #'s 8 & 9 below.)

8. Laws are passed forcing companies to provide a "bottom line cost" and make "nickel and dimeing" someone illegal. Add that Shipping and Handling costs must be openly declared and part of that bottom line.

9. Pennies are done away with, saving the U.S. Mint millions of dollars. Now something that is $19.99 is $19.95. Nickels are the size of pennies, dimes the size of nickels (in direct and open conflict with "size matters" science, but making it easier for our school children to get that "dimes are worth more than nickels even though they are smaller". The savings in mental health alone justify this change).

10. Flat tax finally passes. The IRS is finally done away with, saving the government billions of dollars in the process.

and the best for last...

11. Provide all entertainment from an "on demand" source, earn credit (reduce entertainment costs) by participating in interactive advertising campaigns. The more commercials I watch and interact with (no purchase necessary), the more credit towards free entertainment (commercial free) I get. Otherwise I'm free to pay a subscription service at a premium price that has no ads at all.

"See? My Top Ten list goes all the way to ELEVEN!"
"Why not call it your Top Eleven list then?"
