I would solve all of the big problems, like hunger,disease
crime,poverty, etc etc, but of course there would always
be a few unenlightened souls who didn't appreciate
what I was doing for them. So, I would have to be
gentle but FIRM. If they didn't see
the light, oh well, for the sakeof a better world, I'd have
to remove the bad apples.

Then there would be unemployment. There are always a few
"unmotivated" types who would have to be given a job...
at gunpoint. And did I mention those evil dangerous
foreign powers. I might have to draft about half
of the nation's youth and send them off to "protect"
us from "foreign devils, backsliders, counter-revolutionaries
and enemies of the people.

By now, the people, not being wise and benevolent and
far-seeing like me, they might listen to the evil propaganda
of my political enemies, and get restless and resentful.
I might have to round up a few people at random,
and send them to prison, make an example of them
to "deter" others from following in their evil ways.

After I Quell the riots and win the civil war I promise
I will eventually get around to making this place
into a paradise. Seriously, I mean it. You'll see!
