1) I wish that all humankind was of the same race. Don't care which existing race it is, just pick one variety of human and call it good.
That sounds a little like Hilter's vision.

Hitlers vision was to exterminate races he viewed as inferior. I do not feel that any are inferior and the goal would be to blend everyone into one race thereby eliminating racism.

2) I wish that all humankind used the same language fluently.
Why? Do you wish everyone ate ham sandwiches for lunch every day?

Dumb response for an all knowing genie! What ham sandwiches would have to do with uniting all mankind under one language I have no idea.

3) I wish that all humankind was united in the effort to eliminate illiteracy, class, disease, war, poverty and religion.
How do you "cure" religion? I guess I don't understand the basis for your wishes.

You replace it with reason and clear understanding of the natural world and it's origins apart from mythology and ancient rival religions. Of course the basis for my wishes is unity, peace and common vision for the betterment of mankind. You're not really a genie, are you?

Ah, young grasshopper, racism is in the brain of the person, not in the differences of the peoples. The ham sandwich analogy is pretty simple. There's nothing wrong with ham sandwiches, in fact they're quite good. Most everyone likes a little hog butt on bread once in a while.

But there are other foods out there that are just as wonderful. I hear rocky mountain oysters are good. Your proposal of doing away with differences is similar with only having one choice in any aspect of life. Some of the richness in life is the diversity of life. We need to learn to embrace our differences, not obliterate them.

For the right money, I can be a genie. ;-)

Sorry, genie. If we have not gotten it by now, most likely we won't. I say eliminate the differences and be done with it. How many lives would it save I wonder?

One male mental health professional number coming up. Boy this wish granting stuff is easier than I thought. ;-)

Second wish: I wish the feral, starving, white cat with blue eyes who doesn't seem to be deaf would find a family to love and care for it.

Little boy decides to do something special for his Dad on Fathers Day, so he gets up early and fixes breakfast.
Takes it on a tray to the master bedroom, knocks and goes in. Wakes Dad up . Dad is very surprized and happy.
Butters his toast , takes a drink of his coffee.
And about chokes, worst coffee he's ever drank. Drinks it down anyway.
About midway thru the cup , he looks down and sees 3 plastic army men in the bottom of the cup.
He asks about them and his son says " I made it just like on TV dad, the best part of waking up is soldiers in your cup. "
