ADDITIONAL PROPOSALS REGARDING THE COMPOSITION OF A WORLD GOVERNMENT

It should be kept in mind that, upon actual commencement of such a new arrangement as is envisioned and described herein, prior existing debts, obligations, and/or terms agreed upon in prior treaties, agreements, or other forms of contracts or legal documents, should be sought to be preserved and adhered to, to such extent as this should be reasonably possible and appropriate.

It should also be noted that, as in any case wherein new methods or procedures have been instituted, the mere passage of time will serve to cause old obligations to lose urgency and affect; and leftover conflicts and inconsistencies to diminish in consequence, and to eventually fade away.

Notwithstanding the concepts frequently voiced by me in the recent past regarding the arrival at decisions, and formulation of plans, legislation and actions only via the application of logic to objectively determined facts and circumstances, a completely incontrovertible "dictatorship"--no matter how soundly based nor beneficially intended--should neither be created nor tolerated.

Consequently, underlying all of these aforesaid operations of government, and the authority of all who would thus fill these aforedescribed offices, there would alsays need to be a means by which a certain predetermined percentage of the population would be able to register complaint or grievance; and to which attention, as well as logical and objective--but nonetheless satisfactory--corrective measures would be applied.

Policies and actions, as well as additions or deletions thereto, and modifications thereof, should never be effectuated solely as a result of recommendations or arbitrary decisions byh one or more persons, interest groups, or entities.  Rather, they should always be arrived at via logically and objectively based determinations, resorting to measures and procedures which would be formulated by the new world governm3ent (via similarly logical zand objective means).

World Unity is not an economic system.  Nor is it a political system.  In actuality, as prior postings have indicated, it seems best described as an apolitical system.  It is, therefore, not a system that seeks or endorses pure self-determination in the hands of the crowd, regarding the decisions and operations that will affect all of us.  Strictly applied self-determination, or rule by the largest portion of the crowd, has often failed to prove itself as being the most advantageous or beneficial for that particular self-determining group, and/or for its neighbors or associates, and/or for the rest of the world in general.  It has, moreover, frequently later revealed itself as being productive of conditions or results that were somewhat less than just or compassionate or effective over the long term.  In addition, history has demonstratedthat when the majority's wishes are actuated, via decisions and actions of its elected representatives, the results often differ somewhat from original expectations--as said hopes and intentions are transported through the foundry of politics and self-interest.

Instead, guidance and direction which is professionally and expertly conceived and executed,--having the welfare of, and benefit to, all of mankind as its solitary logical and reasonable goal--is recommended as a more desirable alternative.  Such a form of leadership seems superior to, and consequently more advantageous than, government by dictators, claimants of hereditary right to rule, self-serving demagogues, or pooliticians compelled to keep one eye focused upon party headquarters and/or the next election.

Moreover, what is needed most is representation of, in the interest of, all people--which, after the elimination of factional considerations and conflicts, should prove to be rather similar everywhere.

What is herein suggested is admittedly a major leap forward.  The changes recommended are, admittedly, broad and sweeping.  But sometimes change, albeit extensive, is nevertheless what is required .

We hesitate because we are normally impeded by our current knowledge, acquaintences, and experiences, the security afforded by old ways, and our fear of the novel.  But we must nevertheless surely admit that some departure from the direction in which we are now travelling is indeed  necessary.  What is suggested herein might seem quite innovative.  But that, I believe, is what constitutes its virtue:  it is not but another rehash of the same or similar ineffective blueprint.

Sufficient consideration will lead to a conclusion that these proposals are in fact reasonable, and, with the appropriate quantity of exposure, consequent support, and competent professional fine-tuning and effectuation, capable of actual accomplishment.  My memory keeps returning to the words of Professor Martin Rees, who warns us that the human race appears to have but a fifty percent chance of survival into the twenty second century, in view of the perilous conditions that exist in today's world. (Martin Rees, Our Final Hour)  What more compelling warning can be required to convince us of the necessity for mankind to finally unite for the sake of our common safety and welfare as soon as possible?
