Demand a new era of peace
To the presidential candidates,
I send this reason and common sense demand, for a dramatic change in human direction now, as a citizen-caretaker of the United States and planet Earth, with the future that belongs to all the children of humankind at stake. It is vital to the survival and well-being of the children of humankind that the United States, along with the United Nations, deals with the big-picture, bottom-line requirements, priorities, solutions and goals needed to unite humankind in a realistic quest to rise to the rescue of their children’s common future now.
The United States, along with the United Nations, currently has the communications, technology, assets and organization needed to turn a tragically divided humankind in the direction of unity and peace now. The Internet has made it a new ballgame. Combined with increasingly safe and effective contraception, now is the time, as never before, to step out of the dark ages of overpopulation, ignorance, fear and apathy. Now is the time to fight the non-violent war to end all wars between people. Now is the time to truly give people and peace a chance.
I want to know what percent of humankind’s representatives trillion-dollar war between people budget will it take to make contraceptives available to all the citizen-caretakers of beautiful planet Earth now. I want to know what percent of humankind’s representatives trillion-dollar war between people budget will it take to promote, on a daily basis to all the citizen-caretakers of beautiful planet Earth, the hopeful and wondrous future ahead for all the children of humankind; a bright future with a stable population and the channeling of the trillions of dollars wasted on wars between people into universal goals of a united, free, clean and hopeful world.
I want to know what percent of humankind’s representatives trillion-dollar war between people budget will it take to switch from planet-killing oil and hydraulic energy to natural energy; what percent will it take to clean up the oceans, mountains, lakes and rivers; what percent it will take to educate humankind; what percent will it take to co-exist with the other lifeforms we share this beautiful planet with; what percent will it take to rise to the rescue of our helpless global brothers and sisters; what percent will it take to live in tune with nature and to realize our expectations, from nature, of passing on a united, free, clean and hopeful world to all the children of humankind and all life in our care.
The only alternative to a global non-violent war against overpopulation, ignorance, fear and apathy is escalating overpopulation, pollution, trillion-dollar war between people budgets, wars between people, terrorism, famine, extinctions, corporate oppression, abortions and a future when the human tragedies plaguing humankind will be suffered by billions of people. There is no way around this reason and common sense game-plan for creating a united, free, clean and hopeful world. It must be done and it can be done. As representatives of the citizen-caretakers of the United States and planet Earth, what will you do now to instigate a global non-violent war against the real, common and deadly enemy of the children of humankind; the entwined people crippling factors of overpopulation, ignorance, fear and apathy? Now is truly the time to give people and peace a chance. Why not?
A billion children desperately need your answer now.
