If you had the power ...

The undeserved importance people place on extremely unlikely possible events.

See my entry.

Yeah, that was my inspiration.

Slow drivers....

Drivers who don't accept that on highways the left lanes are for people who want to go fast and the right lanes are for people who want to go slowly. Don't pass on the right, and if you're blocking someone scoot over to the right.

Actually, I'm curious about this, I've never driven outside of the US and Canada, is there a similar informal rule in countries where you drive on the left side of the road, except reversed?

I don't know, but in Norway we have the same as your informal rule, except it's formal.

This is a great one!

I'd bulb fusion power, so we can finally do something interesting/meaningful in space. And hey, researching future teach would be pretty sweet as well.

If we have to take something away, can I take away most of the earth's gravity well?

can't you just go on a diet?


Teasing, of course. But I'm not so sure that's a good idea, there would be.... unintended consequences.

I thought it was formal in the US but just generally ignored. The US is a very car-centric nation and the roads are there just for 'me' (don't you know!).

Traffic laws are almost always enacted at the state level in the US. Driving faster and passing on the right is a ticketable offense in some states but not all.
