If I could change anything in the world: Religion would no longer be seen as a basis for making public policy decisions and politicians on both sides would stop pandering to the very vocal extremists who are, in reality, a small minority of their constituents. And Starbucks would serve chai eggnong latte all year. If I could change anything in the poker world: The public misconception that tournaments are what poker is all about and a useful measure of a player's skill.
