~ Idea 6645 ~
When I was a child we had to sing and dance in front of Belgian troops marching on Sunday mornings in the city where I was born.
When we moved to France, we had to sing and dance in front of French troops and when the Germans conquered France, we had to dance in front of German troops in our province of Alsace-Lorraine!
Thanks God the European Union has put an end to all that. May a World Union do the same for the entire planet.

| | Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 7 Of Optimism | | Optimism is to believe that the best can be achieved for oneself, for one's family, one's community, one's profession, one's country, all humanity and for Mother Earth.

| Robert's forward for the new book: Lookingfor Square Two: Moving from War and Organized Violence to Global Community by Douglas Mattern:
We are living in the worst of times and the best of times. The worst of these is that for more than fifty-five years, nuclear weapons have threatened the earth and everyone on it. Testing and production have caused environmental degradation everywhere on the planet and created the possibility of a nuclear war. It is absolutely imperative that we eliminate, eradicate, and forever destroy all nuclear weapons from the face of the earth to keep it the paradise we were given at birth.
The best is the solution offered by Douglas Mattern in Looking for Square Two-Moving from War and Organized Violence to Global Community. Since the earth is in peril and the greatest part of humanity is still in misery, we must be audacious, strong, and loving. We must stretch our minds and hearts to the dimension of the problems. As President Roosevelt wrote in his own hand on the day before his death for the speech he was to deliver at the opening of the San Francisco Conference convened to give birth to the United Nations:
"The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today."
In my view, after fifty-five years of service in the United Nations, this all points to the utmost urgency and absolute necessity for proper Earth Government. It should be number one on the agenda of world affairs at the entry into the third millennium. There is not a shadow of a doubt that the present political and economic systems -- if systems they are! -- are no longer appropriate and will lead to the end of life's evolution on this planet. We must therefore absolutely and urgently look for new ways. The less time we lose, the less nature we will destroy.
I would urge therefore that immediate consideration be given to the proposals offered by Douglas Mattern. It's a matter of life and death.
-Dr. Robert Muller
Former Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations

The UN should be enabled to conduct worldwide public opinion polls on all major segments of its agenda. I urgently recommend the creation of a World UN Agency of Public Opinion.

| | Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 7 Of Optimism | | One of the greatest statements on optimism is a letter of Ludwig van Beethoven, the Heiligenstadt Testament in which he informs his brother that he will lose his hearing, become deaf. He almost shouts in it: "But I will show the world what I am capable of". And it is from then on that he composed his greatest symphonies.

Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them, for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves -- Pierre Teilhard de Chardin Daily Good of CharityFocus.

I am glad to have obtained from the United Nations, the adoption of the same road signs and signals by all countries of the world. It exists now in practically all countries and I feel happy each time I see the large round red sign crossed by a white line, meaning do not cross, which I had designed
I wish that many other world signs be created, a sign to consume less, a sign not to grow anything here, a sign not to build here, etc

| | Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 7 Of Optimism | | Optimism does not end with death: many of our cherished causes will succeed only after our death. But this is no reason not to try, not to be early prophets paving the way.
And we should never claim the right to success or abandon if we do not succeed.
A great waste of human evolution is done by people who give up too soon "because it did not work." Never do that, please.

Having read a very nice, deeply sensitive book on the River Sarre, by the young mayor of my town, Sarreguemines (in German Saargemund, the mouth of the Saar) and having written myself my doctorate thesis on the Saar Territory years ago, I proposed to proclaim an International Year of the World's Rivers and Rivers Waterways and to create a World's Waterways Agency. It is one of the most important, sensitive global natural networks of our planet.

I highly recommend the creation of a World Democracy Agency or Organization, for many reasons:
To obtain democratic government in all countries;
To assure proper democratic elections in all countries;
To add an Earthcracy (governments by or of the Earth) to democracy (demos, the people, cracy, government).

The only positive gain that came out of World War II was the creation of the first world-wide but imperfect organization in all human history, namely the United Nations.
Instead of waiting for a hypothetical World War III, why not strengthen the United Nations or create a new world-wide organization against all wars?

When Paul Hoffman, the Administrator of the US Marshall Plan, was appointed head of the Special UN Fund for Economic Development I showed him a chart and said to him: "Why didn't you make the Marshall Plan repayable by the European Countries once they had recovered from their losses in World War II?
The United Nations Special Fund should be made renewable: once developing countries will be economically well they would repay the aid received to the UN Special Fund to help other poor countries or disaster areas around the world.
Alas, he and the UN did not do it. May other aid giving countries consider this way.
