Recommendation by Leslaw Michnowski

Subject: Dear Mr. Dufour, concerning ECO
Date: Sat, 10 Dec 2005 16:08:20 -0500
From:
To: gdufour@globalcommunitywebnet.com
Dear Mr. Dufour:
Great website! It seems that at the rate things are changing, these good things may all happen post-apocalyptically. We may need to act quickly if we are to survive. To act in sound bytes, as it were.
There is one simple and quick solution that would accomplish all your goals by addressing the root of all our problems--extreme and unnatural wealth/power concentration--in an attractive, non-violent and universally acceptable way.
That is by capping power by capping wealth. We have seen that it cannot be done by progressive taxation because them with the gold makes the rules.
We can do it in an incorruptible, non-burocratic way using a direct democratic system similar to the one that has given the Swiss the highest per capita income in the world. A yearly wealth/power cap can be decided on and activated by inserting a cancelbot in the world's banking and credit systems that deletes all personal electronic funds beyond the direct democratically established cap.
Deflation of currency will occur by its deletion, raising everyone's buying power. Alternately, wealth cap excesses can be given away, but only to individuals and counted in their personal caps along with assets. These excesses should only be given to individuals. Wealth including assets of ALL organizations, governments, institutions, etc. should lie in the hands of their members and counted in their individual caps.
Making the yearly cap inversely proportional to population growth would give the greatest incentive for people worldwide to have smaller families. The less people the higher the cap and vis.
As the world economy becomes democratized and people's needs are met, war, poverty, famine, dictatorship, overpopulation, pollution, loss of diversity and even taxes will vanish. All by the simple solution of capping wealth direct democratically.
I will note that monopolies are not limited to corporate ones. One person like Murdoch is a monopoly all by himself. Monopolies and monocultures go against nature's diversity. Like nature, the wealth cap limits the resources any one organism is able to hoard, thus enabling more organisms to compete in the process of natural selection.
I hope your group and other greens will consider the wealth cap proposal and make it part of your solutions.
love and peace,
Ren

- WSSD - Johannesburg Declaration.
Dear Sir // Dear Madam
In this message we wish to inform you of an initiative presented by the delegation of the Polish government at the World Summit on Information Society (WSIS, Geneva 2003, the relevant document is enclosed). That submission contained, inter alia, the following statements: (…) ways in which the world situation tends to evolve, creates an urgent need to build up a widely and freely accessible world information network. This network could serve to provide monitoring, forecasting and early warning (…) and thus help to implement the principles of sustainable development (SD). (…) This initiative aims to take up, on a global scale, the building of the information basis for SD-policy and SD-economy.
The reasoning for this submission is as follows:
Systems research conducted in Poland on the causes of a variety of social pathologies - which are dangerously intensifying! - proves beyond doubt that these pathologies are being brought about by the existing and gradually exacerbating global crisis. This crisis could be overcome on the condition that social relations - in the global dimension - are re-oriented towards the common good, and adjusted so as to make effective and good use of achievements of science and technology progress by the society.
In turn, to attain such a re-orientation, it is necessary to create a wisdom-based information society, which is far-sighted and flexible. For this to take place, priority should be given to the process of creation of a commonly accessible, world-wide system of:
- comprehensive monitoring;
- far-sighted forecasting and
- measurable evaluation
of effects of policy, work and other changes in the life conditions of human- beings and nature in general.
Such a SD-information system should be globally-integrated and territorially distributed. °In order to bring about the creation of such an information system, it is essential to carry out a large-scale operation, requiring appropriate developments in science, technology and society at large.
Due to the lack of such an information foundation for the global and local governance, a covert or overt struggle for access to scarce and shrinking natural resources will inevitably grow and accelerate the crisis. This crisis, if unchecked, will lead to a global catastrophe. The deficit of these resources should, and, we believe can, be eliminated through international cooperation, which should replace the existing competition. That, however, requires not only political will, but also the deepening of a comprehensive and easily accessible knowledge about the consequences of human actions and inactions.
In November 2005 in Tunis, the second, and final part of the World Summit on Information Society is scheduled to take place. If the ends outlined above are to be achieved, it is necessary that this initiative obtains recognition and strong international support.
Given all the above, we wish to ask you to support us in bringing this initiative to life, as it is urgently needed for survival of the humankind.
We are deeply convinced that building of the information basis for SD-policy and SD-economy is essential for averting a global catastrophe and achieving sustainable development of the world society.
With best regards,
Leslaw Michnowski

(…) We believe that the Internet and other ICTs technologies can be an effective
tool for forecasting and preventing global threats. It can also be a perfect means to support the implementation of the idea of sustainable development.
In my opinion, ways in which the world situation tends to evolve, creates an
urgent need to build up a widely and freely accessible world information network. This network could serve to provide monitoring, forecasting and early warning with regard to elements capable of triggering a global change and thus help to implement the principles of sustainable development.
Such a network would be vital in bringing us closer to a globalization process and its numerous phenomena ranging from the management of human settlements, world eco-systems, population movements up to other crucial elements of global transformation. (…)
