Hmmm....paranormal research and I would make a big donation to SETI. Because they simply don't have enough antennas to cover enough of the sky. yep that would be fun too

to spend on scientific research, what would you spend it on? Why? I would find a way to enable ALL to tap into the mind/body connection.. find the technology so any one could tap into this to repair/heal themselves on all levels (mental/emotional/physical.. which would also heal them spiritually). Much like we have bio-feedback now....... just a whole lot further

If it were true that the IRS wasn't going to take most of it---Then i would spend it on crap for me. LOTS OF CRAP---CHINESE CRAP FROM WAL-MART- i MAY NOT BE HAPPY AT THE END --BUT LOTS OF CHINESE WOULD KEEP THERE JOBS---AND THAT WOULD BE A GOOD THING---RIGHT? At the risk of a massive flaming, I just have to say - that was abolutely hilarious!

I would buy as many farms and orchards as I could. I would turn them into nonprofit of which would be run by homeless and those less fortunate who would be able to live on site. All proceeds would go to the workers and keeping the farm or orchard running. The workers could stay on infinitely as long as they work hard. In this way I could provide on going work and housing to those in need.

i would build 3D museums for the blind, danceclubs for wayward kids to get help, and counciling stealth-like, along with runaway help that really works, with communication and listening to the kids. i've invented an enginethat runs entirely on magnets, and another one that runs on just air, and develop those further, and would help Paradox1 above me with ORGANIC farming. i would leverage many people here, and other friends to get many other worthwhile projects to help people as well.

one really good thing to do would be to plant trees I was reading the other day that the Forest Service (I think) is starting a massive billion dollar project to replant forestland all across the United States to replace what has been cut down in development I'm a big supporter of the Arborday Foundation so I think thats kinda cool join Arbor Day and get free trees http://www.arborday.org/

Stem cell research... we can literally grow organs, and other places are actually doing it.

How to convert State societies into Stateless ones-for the betterment of humanity. I assume you're not talking about the "One World Government" thing. Bein an anarchist at heart, I too would like to see a purely stateless society. I'm just not sure it would even be possible without changing the whole of human nature. In other words, I think "the betterment of humanity" would have to come first before that "better" humanity could actually operate within a stateless socety. But then, that's not such a bad idea either.

Hmmm... I would take 1 million for a salery. Then I would give 1 million out to random individuals... and track over the years how long it takes them to waste it.
