If wishes were fishes and fishes could fly.....oh, there is such a thing as a flying fish!
We should be fighting demons not Afghanis,
what if the war research looked for instead a thousand helpful things to do with the Poppy.
Expensive perfumes, medicinal uses, pressed into garments to make flower dresses of flowers... make paper with it for fine artwork like korean hanjigram. Press it into cardboard for prefab structures that could be coated with something waterproof to ship to Pakistani flood victims for prefab. housing. There might be less war. And less homelesss Pakistani flood victims.
What if every McDonalds had an ultrasound station room with a handheld unltrasound tester the size of a cell phone, full of bright kiddies playthings and free children's and prenatal vitamins. What if there were a game that all pre-school kiddies loved to play involving rolling a ball up or something that triggered the image of an ultrasound when placed against mummy's tummy. Then all the brothers and sisters could see their next sibling and have fun watching. There might be less abortions.
What if there were recycling laws or central kitchens in every town where left overs could be dropped the same evening at a central depository instead of thrown away or left in fridges for ages until they rot, in every city, where the gleaners could go and pick up without shame or embarassment a dinner at a diner. What if everyone made an extra plate and gave one away to a total stranger.What if there were an inexpensive way to package a healthy granola type or Luna type bar packed with essential vitamins and nutrients for kids that could be easily shipped to the most starving blighted places on earth with the military distributing food instead of armaments. There might be less hungry people in the world.
What if it were more lucrative to make green technologies to export around the world than armaments. There might be less war.
Now you try. Because some Fishes can Fly.
