If I were to create the human race from scratch, one of my top priorities would be to minimize crime. There are many laws to make crime unappealing and many policepeople to apprehend criminals, yet crime continues to thrive. I have an idea that might be more effective.
Everyone who commits a crime would have to reveal it at some point in their life. Since you created these criminals, God, you get to decide when, where and how these ugly actions would rise to the surface. With a mere twinkle of your celestial nose, the truth would flow forth. For example...
Scenario #1: A person who stole a young woman's bike tire one evening while she was working at a department store would mention it during a job interview several years later. The interviewer, of course, would be that woman.
Scenario #2: A fifth-grader steals a pack of baseball cards at a convenience store and thinks he can take this secret to the grave. However, he coughs up the information on the U.S. Senate campaign trail and is forced to withdraw his candidacy.
This would work best if everybody knew that one day their crimes would be unveiled at the worst possible time in their life. Well, this has certainly been fun. I sure hope you're remembering all of my great ideas.
