There's nothing wrong with world peace (or whirled peas, if you love a silly bumper sticker), but I'm going to leave that for the beauty queens. Plus, world peace is coming one day, according to the Bible.
My three changes:
1) All hospital parking garages should be free. It's tough to be in the hospital. It's expensive to be in the hospital. Don't charge people who are making an unpleasant visit to the hospital to support your patients! Talk about adding insult to injury. Work your metrics and slip the average parking fee into the hospital bill. If I'm in the hospital long enough to need visitors, that parking fee will be peanuts compared to the rest of my bill.
2) RSVP!!! If someone has invested the effort to plan an event and honored you with an invitation, TELL THEM whether or not you can attend. Even if they don't say RSVP. Even if you can't go, or aren't sure. There's nothing like sending out invites to 40 people and hearing back from 8. It's just rude.
For fun, RSVP comes from the French phrase "repondez, s'il vous plait." Literally: respond, if you please. The "IF" is rhetorically polite. If you don't reply, they're at home saying something like "Repondez, tu petite merde!"
3) This is the important one. Christian hypocrites. I'm not saying get rid of them, because being a Christian means striving to imitate Jesus, a perfect role model. We might be improving, but we're never going to get it completely right in this life. Technically, that makes us all hypocrites.
Sometimes God gets a bad rap from His people. One of the saddest things I hear is someone rejecting God because His representatives have misrepresented Him and left a bad taste in someone's mouth.
There you go. May your world be a better place.
