About Me

The future happiness of the human race depends on good people who want to live at peace with their neighbors, and who are willing to protect their neighbors from those who don't want peace. I'm only one of those people. I'm probably not the best of them, and I hope to God I'm not the smartest.

Time is Running Out

The time has come for the responsible and thinking peoples of the world to reconsider the foundations of the present world economic order that is now toiterring on the brink of a great depression and disorder. They must begin to think anew and seriously consider the proposition that if they can create a grand space station by means of cooperation, then they can also create the spacerock we call Earth into a paradise for all of mankind by way of cooperation and caring for one another, and not by way of merciless, inhuman "survival of the fittest" competitions.

According to wise and humanitarian scientists, there is no reason why billions of people around the world go poor and hundreds of millions go hungry when existing technologies, scientific methods, and industrial processes are sufficient to house, educate, and employ everyone on earth with allowance for paid vacationing for everyone for at least five months in one year.

In hte Pacific Region, tens of millions of people are without emplyoment, without homes, without land, without education, without leisure, and without medical care. Millions are starving everyday. The chasm between the rich and poor countries continue to widen, where 80% of the world's wealth is owned, controlled, and enjoyed by only 20% of its population.

The terrifying reality is that 20% of the world's population today live so miserably with only 1.4% of the world's wealth. This is a horrible condition of human destitution and deprivation.

Globalization policies, characterized by so-called free untrammeled market systems, free enterprise, removal of protection for national currencies, privatization, deregulation, withdrawal of government planning and authority on the national economy, decimation of the value and respect for citizenship, exposure of developing agricultural and manufacturing enterprises of weak nations to the destructive onslaughts of dumping of surpluses and of sunset industries from the industrially developed countries - all of these cause so much misery and social distortions in the lives of hundreds of millions of people.

The logic of the so-called free unregulated market is precisely to destroy the market because if the market is not controlled by responsible government, that so-called free market will produce monopolies, duopolies, and oligopolies. They become so powerful that they will swallow up the people and their government, if not produce local and political gangsterism and all sorts of chaotic Mafiosi to the highest order.

The implementation of these mismanaged, flawed globalization policies is causing social and economic crises all over the world. In fact, the prevalence of these same policies developed crises which caused the Depression in 1929, the First World War, up to the Second World War.
