What if this was my final "What if" blog?
If that were to be that case I would probably make this blog pretty uneventful and not really talk about too much. I would probably be listening to pandora online radio on which Xavier Rudd is playing a song called "Come LetG Go". It's not a bad song at all. I would also prob ably be eating Raisin Bran Crunch because the crunchy clusters make it that much better than regular Raisin Bran. I dont like putting too much milk in my cereal because it gets soggy too fast and I like a little texture in my cereal while im eating it. I would have to periodically take breaks while writing this to eat my cereal to ensure it does not all get soggy.... mmmm delicious. Anyhow, I woke up about an hour ago and I had forgotten it's Cinco De Mayo. It kind of upsets me because I will not be able to celebrate tonight because I have 2 exams tomorrow. Well one is an exam the other is a presentation. So, I will let you go. Have a good one.

What if nobody ever invented the wheel?
Where would we be today? We would be riding horses still obviously, although I would try to tame a grizzly bear to ride. Many other inventions have stemmed from the invention of the wheel. Historically, there would be no chariots, no wagons, and no carriages. Now we would be without cars, trains, and airplanes. We could not even have something as simple as a wheelbarrow without the wheel. Our society would be severely set back without the invention of the wheel. We would never be able to travel long distances in a short amount of time, and it would be nearly impossible for someone to travel the world. The wheel was a key invention to the advancement of man, and i could not imagine a world without it.

What if computer programmers or IHOP managers were our heroes instead of Professional sports players?
If the average job was admired as much as the world admires athletes, it would influence a lot more people to work at being intelligent.We might have more and better technology if kids spent time researching rather than practicing sports. But if that were to be the case, I would assume that the obesity levels would be inflated even more than they already are. This situation would make the avarage job extremely desireable, and very difficult to get. It would no longer be the average job. They could get MVP awards. They could compete in a post season to see what store could generate the most revenue. The winner would be completely determined by the citizens, becsause they would go to the store of their choice to help them win. It would be interesting.

What if everything was edible?
No more world hunger! But i think this would probably cause problems. Peoples belongings would end up getting eaten out of spite. Would there be a need for grocery stores? Or would every store just advertise for food and anything else you wanted? Would Tv's cost so much if we could eat them? I don't think people would actually eat their TVs if they cost so much. Im sure they would buy much cheaper wal-mart items to eat most likely. Pets would eat the owner's belongings. Wild animals might eat a family's house or car. Crazy things could happen. Would there be a point to hunting besides liking the taste of what you are killing? or maybe managment purposes. Who knows?

What if there was no crime?
If there was no crime, a lot of people would be out of jobs. The fact that people do steal, kill, vandalize, etc. keeps many people employed, as bad as that sounds. Police officers, DEA, S.W.A.T., FBI, Lawyers, Judges, and even the Supreme Court would be out of work. So is it a good thing that we have crime? Most certainly not. If there was no crime, I feel that the world would be greatly overpopulated. All of the convicts in prision would be out on the streets with their spouses and most would probably have children. There are millions of people locked up in jail systems across the world. Just imagine millions more people in society plus all of their offspring. The government would probably have more money if there was no crime, because they would not have to pay all the law enforcement and judicial employees. They would also not have to support all the convicts in prision. They would all have to find their own jobs and support themselves like regular people. No more free meals, showers, and housing for them.
