Although I don't always participate, but I follow the announcements. And
I'd like to ask a question - It is very important to pose highlights of
principles and behaviors, to which I agree with all my heart. However,
have you ever thought about the way how to implement them? There should
be an operative plan to beautiful ideals and concepts. It is a
wonderful plan of educating people by using media and other means, but
where is an operative plan to solve problems on the way - like how to
fight the domination of those powers in control, you mention, how to
raise poor populations standards, reconstruct a socio economic plan of
advancement to poverty areas, etc...
Education is very important. Using the Media is a wonderful idea.
Getting more and more people and organizations, also the U.N, is a good
thing. But what about thought how to implement it?? In a practical way,
besides the long term Educational project??
Eaxcuse me for posing this question. I think that is something worth to
think about, and I think that knowledge should be acquired from all
expert bodies dealing with these questions, like the world bank experts,
like the U.N experts in different parts of the world. Even if you
include the world bank among the dominating negative forces, still they
have a lot of knowledge in their own field. One should also check the
policies of big companies and how they exploit people in poverty areas.
Information is an essential thing to carry out positive plans..

Bob,
Here's what I sent Bruce Cook:
I support your comments.
I also regret that the global strategy advanced by GHA still omits the
importance of the concept of Economic Justice (see especially Article
17 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
<http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/index.shtml#a17>) as an essential
twin pillar for achieving Global Harmonious Peace, Prosperity and
Freedom for all members of global Society.
Article 17 and the institutional means to achieve access to the rights
and power of property as a fundamental human right are missing from
the constitutions of every nation state, as well as the International
Monetary Fund, the Bank of International Settlements, the World Bank
and all UN bodies dealing with poverty and global economic
development. Instead, universal access to property rights is
ignored. Even Jefferson in authoring the U.S. Bills of Rights in 1776
left out the term "property", in my view because of America's
"original sin" -- human slavery, which treated people as "things".
While America and the world today formally oppose human slavery, our
current economic systems have shackled most citizens into a more
subtle form of dehumanizing slavery -- wage slavery, welfare slavery,
charity slavery and debt slavery. Adoption of Article 17 at all
levels of global society would end all modern forms of human slavery
by enabling all humans to become liberated as owners of all
wealth-producing capital assets, such as the unlimited frontier of
every-advancing technologies and all forms of "energy slaves." Little
wonder that global poverty perpetuated by the global masters of money
and finance and widespread corruption among political leaders
supporting economic plutocracies within all countries are the main
root sources of war, global terrorism, unemployment and group conflict.
If the GHA is to succeed as an interfaith educational network
advancing Harmony within today's chaotic world, GHA cannot ignore
Justice as a universal and complementary goal for guiding the redesign
of the moral and legal architecture of the world. GHA to date does
not address the question, "Who should own the world?" World Citizen
Garry Davis answered that question
<http://www.worldservice.org/whoowns.html> in a way that should be
read by all those who seek a more harmonious and just world. A
supporter of Garry and one of the great world design scientists R.
Buckminster Fuller offered these few pearls of wisdom to GHA members:
"We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims. .
. . [Our challenge is to] make the world work for 100% of humanity
in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation and
without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone."
I hope all those associated with GHA will heed the advice of global
visionaries like the 92-year-old Garry Davis and the late Bucky
Fuller. That will position GHA above all other groups advocating
Peace by supplementing its current vision with a practical with a
bolder and more complete vision for making the world work, from the
bottom-up.
Members of GHA who read these two writings are invited to visit and
consider joining the website of the Coalition for Capital Homesteading
<http://www.capitalhomestead.org/>, an advocacy group advancing the
Just Third Way vision and comprehensive system reforms designed to
achieve a people-empowered, market oriented, property-based approach
to economic democracy at local, regional, national and global levels
of the Global Village. CESJ is a member of the Coalition. I hope GHA
will also join the Coalition.
In Harmonious Peace through Compassionate Justice,
Norm

//Bruce and Kurt,
Congratulations, Bruce, for your well-put apology on behalf of
like-minded members of the GHA community. Since I have to
concentrate on finishing two books this summer, I plan to go on a
"GHA sabbatical", but I will remain in what is known as a "lurking
mode", that is, observing the world below from the empyrean heights.
Peace, prosperity, and freedom
through the interfaith harmony
of transcendent and compassionate justice,

Everyone,
I'd like to apologize for the GHA's inappropriate response to the GHA
failure to win the WIHW competition. I was consulted on this matter
and suggested that nothing should be said against the competition,
basically citing the well-known Serenity Prayer as a comfort.
However, in spite of my suggestion, the complaint was sent out and
Monica, who properly objected, was targeted with strong words.
As President of GHA-USA, I join Kurt Johnson in apologizing to
Monica, Nina, and anyone else who felt hurt by the communication.
Let's do our best to work together in harmony in the future.
Blessings,
Bruce Cook
President, GHA-USA
