Why would you get rid of 10-20% of the people in the world, why wouldn't you just make more people....getting rid of people like that would be extremely impatient, not the mark of a good leader.

Because 50% is a bit ambitious for the first year.

If I ruled ze world, I would invest in some sort of mass communication system (probably electronic in nature) whereby the average person could emphatically wrong about multiple subjects at the top of their voice.
I envision this as...wait, what? Oh. Never mind.

The high speed lane is moving at 75-80 mph most days. Not today. One blithering idiot doing 54, matching speed with the semis in the middle lane, had a mile long train of traffic stacked up behind it. O to be so wonderfully clueless and carefree! I imagine that driver thinking, "gee there is no traffic at all today" because of the miles of clear road in front of them. Who uses mirrors, anyway?

Some say kindness is both free and it's own reward, I would tend to agree.
The same can be said of sarcasm.
