Problem being
In order for a populous to make a decision that is effective and sound, that populous NEEDS to be informed ........and there in lays the first problem
- we are mushrooms - kept in the dark and fed bul#
WE could never properly address any problems or morally make the right decisions due to the fact that we are denied the facts
Example .............at the moment I'm totally anti gmo's
However are those in power aware of some impending event that warrents the development of these GMO's
............Monsanto's drought resistant crops for example
Can we make a decision that considers the future effects of that decision, I mean how many people would support a course of action that would benefit
them and us now with complete disregard for the future of our race
Or the exact reverse ..........a policy that will be disruptive and difficult on the current generation but will ensure the sustainability of future
generations? People are a very self centred selfish bunch
What if geo engineering was in fact required for some future reason that we are unaware of
How many would support the spraying of dangerous and poisonous substances that effects our health but would ensure a stable climate and crop produce
50 years down the line ................can we entrust such decisions to the masses ..................can we trust ourselves to see the bigger picture
and decide accordingly .........I'm not so sure
But ultimately I believe it could work .....or something like it, like a direct democracy where we all get the chance to vote on all decisions and
policies
But then we would need an ID system to help safeguard against voter fraud ...........hmm ID cards don't go down too well around here
How do we ensure that the decision that one country makes doesn't adversely effect another or counters another countries efforts ...........well for
that we ALL would need to vote under some form of a one world gov and work together towards that common goal once voted for and agreed upon
Are we ready for that as a species ?
I'd like to think so, but really........I dunno............people are dumb!
But as long as we are kept in the dark ...........we can never make an informed decision and probably make things worse ..............coz the
politicians would listen to us .........as long as we had the €$¥£r to line their pockets with
