Haight Street Fair, June 13, 2004

What would YOU do if you were God for a day?

the 9 runners-up (in no particular order)

Tell all religious leaders to stop pretending that they know what I want. And bring back Norse Paganism.

If I were God, I would tell people what to do, make them feel guilty when they screw up,
tell them they should take my word on faith or face eternal damnation of life alone with John Ashcroft!

Either eliminate all intolerance from the face of the Earth ... or make more taquitos! Yum!

Create world peace, eliminate discrimination, stop bigotry, feed the poor,
share the wealth, and make everyone in the world smile ...
all by bringing George Bush home.

1) Make our Congress 534 Democrats and 1 Republican for a token.
2) Replace Scalia, Thomas & Rehnquist.

Reverse the 2000 election
Reverse the greenhouse effect
Do away with selfishness.
