Suppose one day some angel comes and asks you about for a wish. What will it be..??

I would ask him to close the "JRanch top 10 topics" and "WA #1 word association" threads.

Well, my first thought was for a billion dollars. I know this sounds both shallow and greedy, but it's really not. I'd want the billion so I can spend more time thinking about the things that matter (family and research) and not have to worry about things that shouldn't (politics, job pressures, the new roof I need put on my house.) I probably wouldn't even buy a new car.
My second thought also sounds really trite, in a Miss Universe kind of way. I'd ask for an end to all the root causes of war, worldwide: poverty, famine, pestilence, evangelism, ignorance.
Now I'm depressed, because there are no angels on the way.

I have thought this but if this happens ... things might become "boring" and you will not know how it feels to be happy. A "Perfect" world will be the last of in my list.
If you ever get a chance to make a wish, I will advice/request you to ask for the first one.

My only wish is to grant me 10 more such wishes

[Gregg Bolinger]

I would ask for infinite wishes.

An angel came by and granted you a wish. The wish was to give you the power to make the world a better place. You have that power. Now go use it!

If I have the power that means the world IS already a better place

Don't be so greedy, Gregg
See I asked for only ten. You know what my tenth wish will be though

[Eleison Zeitgeist]

Actually, my wish is for a world where everyone's dream would come true. Where everyone is the smartest, the richest, the most beautiful, the happiest, etc.. Obviously, they couldn't really live with each other since they're wishes might sometimes conflict with other peoples wish... they would have to live isolated - kinda like a personal cocoon - state.
Everone would have to live in an isolated reality. Obviously, the best way to do this is to have some kind of mechanism, structure to facilitate their dream like state....... like a virtual world if you will.. Such a world for each person would be a Utopia; his or her being would be a God, (if he or she wishes) in his or her world -- the one.
Obviously, if the history of mankind is used as a record of how things are to be. Humans would not ultimately would accept this blissfull reality - too perfect, too flawless... Oooooh wellll, never mind ;-)

If I were the angel (fat chance), I'd just put you in an infinte time loop.

Cubs and Red Sox meet in the World Series. That way one of the groups of fans can stop crying.

[Rufus BugleWeed]

Wouldn't Cubs || Red Sox and World Series || pennant be a miracle by itself?

I would wish to be the head of 'Hell' and oversee all the good things that I am going to do to ya'll ranchers

[Anonymous]
