How would you change the world?
Where to start... first off I would begin to fix the global warming crisis. Next I would stop unnecessary wars and end genocide. After that it's on to tackle world hunger. But that's not all! Education still needs to become a priority. There's so much to change about this place.
How would you change your neighborhood?
I'd add sidewalks... I dunno, I'm pretty content with it.
What have you learned about power?
It is very easy to abuse.
Is power a good thing?
Power in the right hands is a very good thing but misused it is disastrous.
What makes a good leader?
A good leader looks beyond himself.
Who have been some of the best U.S. presidents, and why?
George Washington, because he showed a newly-formed country that a government could function with an honest, ethical president and how of power could be transferred peacefully; Franklin Roosevelt, because he steered the country through the Great Depression and tried to create prosperity for all.
When you become an adult, what do you think will be the biggest problem facing our nation and/or world?
I'm sure that when I'm an adult the biggest problem facing the world will be global warming, and it's terrifying. By then the situation will have magnified itself and if precautions have not been taken we will have endangered the world for generations to come, which in my opinions, is very selfish.
If you had the power to change one or two things about our country right now, what would it be?
There are so many things to change. First and foremost, I would make the entire country eco-friendly, and then I would fix the healthcare system. I would change almost everything, though. This is such a beautiful country and is sad what has happened to it.
If you could put into place one law that pertains to kids in our country, what would it be?
All children must be educated sufficiently.
Why are some people rich and others poor?
That is a question too complicated to address in a simple way; however, equality of education would go a long way in providing opportunity for the less fortunate.
Do you believe global warming is a fact or a myth? If you think it is a fact, what would you do about it if you were in charge?
Fact, fact, fact, fact, fact. I mean, come on people, how much of the earth actually has to be destroyed before we can admit that we have a PROBLEM???? If I were in charge the planet would be more energy efficient, recycling would be absolutely mandatory, but most importantly, I would make the public aware of the situation.
If you were in charge of education, would art class be as important as math?
Absolutely. A society is nothing if it does not value the arts.
