A Global project for Freedom

This project has support from the owners of three liberal websites but, it needs to be further refined and also promoted to a wider audience. The opportunity to air ideas should not be limited to any one group or it would lose relevance. Any suggestions as to structure, content, or formating would be welcome. This is an idea that came to me by chance, I declare no ownership. This is about the future.

 The Better World List Project. Crowd sourcing the Future.Citizens are fearful and unhappy. Their needs and wants conflict with those of other people and sometimes even with each other. Governments do not seem able or willing to help. The realities of our world are limited by our imaginations and our unwillingness to try new things.This project is an attempt to combine the core interests of all people into an understandable form, which does not favor the vested interests of financial and political influence. The internet is the only tool we have for the job.This project will not create a perfect world. Each person is different. We have different values and different needs. However, until we express ourselves succinctly and list our positions in a concrete form, there can be no true understanding of our similarities and our differences. And there can never be a manifestation of the values of the majority.

The project, if you chose to participate, consists of listing the five core changes, which would make your life better. These five items should be listed in order of importance and described in twenty-five words or less.

Enough of this vague discontent. Spell it out for all to see and understand. Don’t worry about whether government can or will satisfy these demands. If enough people want something, government has no other authority. Don’t worry about what your friends and neighbors think, they all have their own list. This is not a popularity contest for you. It is an attempt at real democracy. The submitted lists would be compiled into a ranking to determine the top ten items and then published.

This project requires very few capital resources. The internet will provide the connections for free. People will need to provide valid names and email addresses to prevent spamming. All that is needed are secure servers and a computer large enough to process the incoming data.

Please feel free to comment in any way on this idea.

—————————————————————————————–

Where this project leads is a mystery.

I will list my five general items to show what I hope would be the direction. I do not mean to dictate or shape the lists of others.

1)     Military actions and spending.

2)     Social safety net; including Health Care and Education.

3)     Human Rights; including Freedom of Speech, Laws, Representation.

4)     The economy; including Government Spending, Job Creation, and Taxation.

5)     Regulatory Structure; including resource policies, markets, and courts.

These are very general categories and need not be followed. Hopefully, with a large response, a computer will be able to pick Keywords from respondents’ lists and generate an overview.

Welcome to FreeCanada

FreeCanada, the home of the starry eyed and the idealist. Don’t you wish you were one of us? Idealists are not naïve, we know how things work in the world and we see how pathetic it is.
This page is dedicated to the way things should be. If we do not make the effort to maintain such ideals civilization is certain to devolve. ‘The squeaky wheel gets the grease’, if it does not, eventually the bearings seize and the wheel grinds to a halt. Can you see any hope of improvement or even continuation of the status quo in our world if we the people do not demand it? If you do I would suggest that you are more naïve than I am.

Kris Kristofferson had it all backwards, http://www.guitaretab.com/k/kristofferson-kris/10040.html . He sang, “FREEDOM’S JUST ANOTHER WORD FOR NOTHIN LEFT TO LOSE,”. Those are the thoughts of a fearful slave. To a proud human being servitude will sour the enjoyment of any possession.

The oppressed man owns his oppressors, through his mistreatment and even his death they demonstrate that the victim has something that they lust for. Often this is an independent spirit. The most brutal oppressors are often no more than dependent slaves themselves. Wouldn’t you rather live in a World where freedom was more valued than material possessions? If we did, then every human would have the opportunity to be wealthy. Wealth may indeed be synonymous with happiness, but as material wealth can only be measured in relative terms, it is necessary to continually struggle to stay ahead of the pack.

We don’t want your money, We want Justice!

Many mainstream conservatives would embrace the Occupy Movement except that they feel their material wealth is threatened.  

However, most activists realize that seeking arbitrary redistribution is irrational on anything but the most venal level.

1: Redistribution by force without systemic change would change nothing except the faces of a few of the Elites.

2: The money is part of the Problem, not part of the Solution. Fiat money is a curse, no matter who controls it. The power to print is much greater than the power of ownership.

3: Also, redistribution at a national level ignores the global imbalances. If one calculates redistribution on a global scale, then most North Americans would be poorer.

4: Money by itself, without access to power, is not worth the paper it is printed upon.

5: The ownership of the means of production and the natural resources, including land, out-weight the financial values.

6: Arbitrary redistribution merely on the basis of wants, rather than merit and effort, is socialist theft, which is no better than the corrupted capitalist theft, which got us to this point.

7: A major component of the income inequality is poor education, which would not be addressed by redistribution.

8: Until the 99% achieve a proportionate representation in government, and that government is accountable for its actions, laws will do nothing to prevent a return to the current imbalances.
