I love your initiative Pharoh... A plan like this would definetly need someone like you at its head
I have had a few ideas for a while on how to make things change. Of course, these are ideas I see fitting into the present situation... I have others,
but at this point on our evolutionary scale, they are just to monumental.
Just ideas, and in no particular order.
1) Separate Government from the economy.
I think the number 1 source of corruption in the world is the economy intervening in politics. Elimination of private sponsors, a fixed campaign
spending budget is what is needed. Way too much bribery and favours are made behind the scenes. All the world's energy companies probably have their
greasy fingers deep within almost every branch of government, and that is the main problem.
2) Creation of a new "scientific state"
For far to long have scientists and researches been threatened and oppressed by corporations. Numerous solutions to energy crisis, global warming,
cancer, and who knows what else have been discovered, but have been hidden and destroyed by corporations who feel threatened by it. What is needed is
a state controlled scientific research center where scientists and researchers are given all the money and protection they need. Think of a
scientific, transparent, open military of scientists. I use my own country, Canada, as an example. We spend 20 billion a year on military. If we could
cut that in half, even just a quarter, and spend that money on research, who knows what we could come up with? (in perspective, this alone, per year,
would be enough to build almost 2 large hadron colliders, per year). Invite all the most brilliant minded scientists from around the world to work
here, offering them guaranteed salary and benefits. This military cut leads to my next idea...
3) Demilitarization
Thats right. Not just the nukes, but the army as well. All that really should be needed is a small national security army to help with natural
disasters and protection of the government. The world spends close to a trillion and a half, if not more, money on military every year. again, but
that in have, we have almost a trillion more dollars to use for whatever else is needed. Again, this doesn't necesarily have to be the whole world,
but I could definetly see a western country doing it. Say Canada cuts its military budget in half. Who in their right mind would want to attack
Canada! Even if they did, would the world stand by and watch if a country that had vocally announced it was eliminating its militray for the good of
the world was attacked? Of course not! Especially a country with such a vast amount of ressources. Also, who knows what kind of effect an action such
as this could have on the world. Outcomes people have never even thought could occur, causing other countries to follow suite.
4) End of privately owned energy-based corporations.
Get rid of em. Make the government in charge of energy, have them reak in the profits rather than some exec who makes billions and spends it all on
cars, houses, and biological research to make diseases to kill people, and plans to blow up buildings with planes and explosives.
5) Give more power to the judiciary system
Make laws ineffect that would result in the complete abolishment of a government in which any signs of corruption are found, effectively banning
whomever is involved from ever becoming elected again. This law MUST be a law that has enough power and is as absolute as laws against murder.
6) Have a responsible government... in the mind's sense
The people in charge should be people who there because of their intelligence, their ideas, and their honesty and pure of heartedness. No more people
getting into power because of their family, money, or credentials. I mean common.... Bush?!?!?!?
