If you could change one thing in the world, what would that be? / myLot

I'd like to eliminate poverty. I know it sounds fancy and cliched. But I get so sad when I see the poor people on the tv adverts about sponsoring them and projects for them, and the children...! Sometimes I just can't believe how advanced on a whole we the humankind are, yet so backwards as the wealth is in the hands of a few. I wish I could change that with a magic ring!

i think the government must lend some money to the beggars to atleast buy something to eat and buy clothes to protect them from cold when they stay outside. why doesn't the government treat these people like the people who suffer disasters?

Create a universal currency. That would help world trade because you wouldn't have to constantly figure out how much a dollar is worth where.

I was ready to write that I would end the violence and war, but then I thought more about it and I think that poverty should be first. Everything else matters little when people are starving or sick. Pass me the magic ring :)
