What would you wish for?
Money? Happiness? Health? Fame? Friends? Family?
Choose wisely.
:-)
Peace

| 10. We already know you'd be wishing for beer and travel money anyway. |

| 2. Three wishes: it's always a trap. We always assume a wish will make our lives better than they are |
|
and never anticipate any negatives that come from the wish.

| 4. I will just use one for now and leave the others until I see how that one pans out... |
|
I chose to wish for complete and unerring justice for all people everywhere.

You should phrase that as equal justice with compassion and mercy.
unerring complete justice would be end of everything, the complete just state is only one thing in one state existing, since any distribution is inherently unjust. Or many things exactly the same, equating to one thing in a distributed state, however that distribution state to be just, would have to be equal, moving it outside of any computations of distance or location or even time, so again it would be one thing.
It is not about total justice, but equal justice with compassion and mercy also.
There must be some imperfection for existence to exist. The question is should there be more justice, or less justice.

I. Al Gore wins a clear victory in 2000 2. Hurricane Katrina bypasses land and blows itself out in the mid-Atlantic 3. Either an end to world hunger or an invitation to the royal wedding? How can you choose?

| 6. 1. That all Repukes would be forced to tell the truth whenever they open their pieholes. |
|
2. That all dirty energy sources would immediately be ended and we'd invest in clean renewables.
3. That we find a cure for cancer and other devastating diseases.
That should fix a lot.

| 7. Not wasting a wish on politics |
|
Politics comes and goes. People need to fight for whats right. Without a struggle, magical achievement is meaningless...
so with that in mind... 1) Perfect health for everyone in the world. 2) Wealth enough to produce really cool movies (and OK, enough to counter act the Koch Brothers) 3) Holodecks! I want my own personal holodeck, with plenty of others scattered around the world.
