A perfect world may never happen. And that could be a good thing. For if it was a perfect world then everything would be like robots doing the same thing. That is how I view this matter. If you think about that then you could say that I am glad I am not liveing in a perfect world.

If you are glad you're not living in that world, then it's not a Perfect World. Think about it...

Heres my thought, the only reason why we don't have a perfect world is because of the fact that we were put on this world with a free will to live. In other words freedom to take other lands, freedom to do as we please, Free to do just about anything. The result of this freedom is our socity we live in today. It is us humens who choose the paths we follow. God gave us this free will.

What an fool God is then, eh?
I think the nature of Money is one thing that is keeping the world as it is.
Case Study: Some town in Europe somewhere (I forget the name of the place: I read about it in the New Scientist today, but I can't remember what the place is called, and can't find the article on newscientist.com. I'll look again tomorrow once I look up the name of the place again.)
Anyway, this town was in Germany, I think, and the economy of Germany had just crashed. In an effort to solve the town's problems, the Mayor printed his own currency, that was only viable in that town. It had Negative Interest: It reduced in value the longer you possessed it. As a result, trade boomed, as people rushed out to spend the money on material goods that did not decrease in value almost as soon as they bought it. This resulted in a great boom for the city in general: The streets were repaved, unemployment was practically eradicated, and everybody prospered (I'll give you the real results when I find the article, but they were more or less what I've said here).
Then the German economy recovered, and the Government found out about this town printing it's own money. Printing currency was banned, and the proper currency, with its Positive Interest, was imposed upon the city. Unemployment shot up, small businesses failed, and there were riots...
