One world problem you want to solve?

If I gave you one wish, but you had to use it to solve one problem in the world, what would your world problem be? Be as altruistic as possible! :)

Mine would be to do with the human rights abuses that happen in legal justice systems, so like extraordinary rendition, etc. What's yours?

Update:

Please be specific :) No grand ideals, so like not 'world peace', haha not beauty pageant style. But specific solvable things.

    The biggest problem today, I feel, is that humanity is living in a society which is destroying the planet upon which we live. The Earth's resources are being stripped, poisoned or wasted to maximize profit margins, and wars and genocides are inflicted upon humanity to ensure that this society can continue. This is a very serious problem!! The reason that humanity cannot escape this madness is because the media - mostly owned by Rupert Murdoch - never tells the people anything other than a smokescreen of lies and deception, end endlessly demands that we choose the political system that is causing this damage. There absolutely needs to be laws passed forcing the media to give fair, unbiased and objective coverage of everything that they report. If we don't get this, then it s extremely unlikely that humanity will still be here in 100 years time.

    I would fight for women's rights.

    Some of the biggest issues facing women in developing countries:

    - genital mutilation

    - the sexual exploitation of women and girls (including trafficking); sometimes little girls for money and things like: men believe it will cure them of HIV

    - virtually no health care especially around pregnancy and childbirth

    - the 'chastity' laws in some Islamic nations

    - 'honor' killings

    - poverty and lack of opportunity

    It's too depressing to go on, really......

    Violence/killing/war, I feel these are all one thing.

    I know this can't happen though, and it is acutally needed in certain ways. I will continue to push for it in hopes of helping as many as I can though.

    If we could rid the world of Islam it would be a better, safer, far less violent place for everyone else.

    No Islam, know peace!
