Forbes Magazine recently asked: "What if you could pick one thing and start over from scratch? What would you change? Would you choose another career, a different home, a new spouse? Or would you choose to remake the world around you? Why not fix America's prison system, make schools more efficient, or make your political leaders more intelligent? That's the question we posed to the contributors to our Blank Slate special report. We asked experts in a wide variety of fields to step back and imagine what it would be like if we didn't have to accept the status quo, if we could reinvent things without regard for cost, politics or practicality."
I like this type of question-everything, we-can-do-anything thinking. Some of the articles are better than others, but all in all it's a worthwhile read.
