my big gift would be to stop the exploitation of the developing world, allowing them to reach their full potential as autonomous cultures, while finding safe and sustainable means of production at home.

I would like those who are still asleep to the climate and food juggernaut, and war and poverty in this world to wake up, leave their corporate jobs, and move into the streets, and overwhelm the powers that be, and demanding that the corporates that are destroying our world be stripped first of their personhood and then of their assets so they can do no more harm.. Then go home and get to the serious job of creating a better world that answers the prayers of each of the other people who have commented.

Il y a tellement de choses urgentes à demander... Bonne gouvernance, paix, justice. Égoïstement, je voudrais un nouveau gouvernement à la Chambre des communes, plus respectueux des droits de la personne et plus soucieux de nos responsabilités sur la scène internationale !

I wish more people would realize that putting the needs of the economy (i.e. corporations) before the basic needs of human beings is just plain ridiculous.

I want to get my mortgage paid off, and live debt free, so that none of the money I make goes directly into feeding the war machine. Then I want to take the money that used to go directly to the financial industry for nothing but the pleasure of being a citizen of our modern world, and I want to lend it interest free to the next person, so that they can get debt free quicker. And I want it to carry forward right down to the very last human being, wash over the entire planet until there is no more debt slavery, and all of a sudden the rich just don't have as much power as they used to. When the burden of parasitic debt interest is lifted from the planet, just imagine what the human race will accomplish!

I would love a gift of Awareness for everyone. That people everywhere are aware of the consequences of their actions for themselves and the world. That they are aware of the choices they can make so that everyone can live. That trade would be fair for those who most need it, that people would be aware that they need to pay more for an item so that others can eat. That people would live sustainably and be aware of the joy of eating produce fresh from their garden so the world's environment could last for all to live.
