Numero UNO

Topic of the week:
Simple things that I believe can make the world a better place.

1)Everyone should be forced to take a bubble bath at least once a week. This would make the people of the world less stressed, which means a more laid-back population, which obviously means there wouldn't be any more wars. If you are too manly to take a bubble bath, a light-up rubber ducky makes it so much more dangerous.
2)Smiley face stickers are hard to get angry at. No matter what mood you are in or who's shoe they end up on the bottom of they always give you a loving grin. So, I vote bring back the smiley face logo, Walmart. Is this the second phase of their world domination plan? First, they were all nice and welcoming with their yellow happy faces that made us want to join in on their peace and love attitude. Then, they decided that they were going to admit to their monopoly and go with a "save money, live better" campaign. Fine. I will buy into your monopolizing company, Big Brother, but at least you could put a smiley face on your four dollar prescriptions so we can all feel better about our lives.
3)Baby hippos are some of the cutest animal babies and they aren't big enough to eat you. All people should be given a baby hippo to love and snuggle with. I am positive that the world would be a more loving place if we all had a baby hippo to call our own.
4)Gandhi knew how to relax, and even when he was starving himself he looked joyous. In this face-paced society, the least we could do is take a yoga class once a week.
5)Hand-written letters are the best form of communication. Getting one just makes you feel loved, and isn't that everyone's quest in life? So, all texting, e-mailing, and cell phones should be eliminated and we should all go back to snail mail.
6)Free Candy. Trick-or-treating was the greatest invention ever. My solution to a better society is make trick-or-treating a weekly event. If dentists have an issue with that, then I guess monthly would fulfill everyone's candy quota.
7)Soft, fuzzy blankets are one thing everyone can agree on. I have yet to meet a person that picks the old, crusty, matted hay blanket over those plush, pastel colored, cloud-like blankets. So, I propose the government issue every citizen a fluffy blanket of their choice, then everyone would stop grumbling over taxes.
8)Hula-hoops are one of the greatest ways to waist time. o, puns. All exercise equipment should be replaced by hula-hoops.
9)And lastly, sharpie markers make the world more colorful and smelly in a deliciously chemical way.

And that my friends, is the solution to world peace.
I dare you to disagree.
