Can the IPod be the answer for world peace?

Yesterday our President gave Queen Elizabeth an IPod filled with show tunes. This got me thinking if every one had an IPod could we finally achieve world peace? I think maybe. Wouldn't we all be happier, calmer, more peaceful if we walked around listening to a soundtrack of our favorite songs? If we all had our own soundtracks as we navigated through our day wouldn't we focus more, be more patient, and think before we act. Could it cure laziness too? When you are stressed push a button to hear your best destress song. Bummed out, your best pick me up song. Tired, something to perk you up. Working, the song or songs that help you think, work your mind without distracting you. Unmotivated, something to get you focused. Would life not be much happier or more managable if your could create your own play list and have it with you at all times. And on those days that you are not feeling any of your music, you could listen to the radio. You could keep up on the news, the world would be in your ear buds. Perhaps we should try it out. Maybe in the next stimulus package congress can include an IPod for every man woman and child.
