If you could change anything in the world, what would it be?
This is kind of hard to describe, but I would like to change peoples' way of thinking so that it fits reality. Too many people, whether it's due to our educational system or not, have very irrational views on life and its experiences. In poker, for instance, blaming the dealer for the outcome of a hand (assuming it was dealt correctly) is simply irrational. This kind of misperception leads to an inability to properly cope with life.

If you could change anything in the poker world, what would it be?
Along the same lines, I'd like to see all players enjoying the game and showing respect for their opponents.
