Education as a right or a privilege?

Families with money can afford to send their children to college, but what about the other 99%? The Earth Constitution's Bill of Rights calls for "free and adequate public education available to everyone," and equal opportunity for anyone who seeks a higher education.  

Can the world community afford education as a right?  Very easily with an end to massive military budgets.

With the Earth Federation's peace system, the Pentagon would not be buying "2,443 F-35 joint strike fighters" at $133 million each, a cost complained about in a recent AARP Bulletin for senior citizens. Strike fighters terroize, and educate no one.

Less Government or Good Government? 


An AP story by Jenny Barchfield (2/2/12 SF Chronicle) describes how Rio De Janeiro is "crumbling" over the last year while Rio tries to get ready for the Olympics. 

Editor's commentary:  Rio's unregulated system amounts to having "less government" -- and it hurt Rio.   (read more...click on OPINION)

Twitter announces new way to censor individual tweets
in specific countries reports the San Francisco Chronicle.  Twitter, Facebook, and Google must deal with local laws, customs, and political agendas varying from nation to nation in regard to  Internet content.       

Editor's commentary:  Attempts by countries to censor free speech have serious implications.  Democracy requires that political speech, in particular, be protected.  This issue will require thoughtful attention from the Earth Federation Movement.

Will 2012 be the year the Earth Constitution and the Earth Federation Movement gain street credence with activists -- when Occupy Wall Street becomes "Occupy Everything"?  Can "EFM" be popularized to establish Good Government worldwide on behalf of "We, the People"?

WHO SAYS IT CAN'T BE DONE?


Earth Constitution

 "making the impossible,

   possible"


  

  • eliminate weapons of

      mass destruction

  • from war system to

       peace system

  • universal human rights

  • end poverty 

 

Earth Constitution

    " the first green

        constitution"

  

• protect Mother Earth

 


 9/11/11

Thought for today:

Were Americans told

the truth about 9/11,

or is the 9/11

Commission's Report a cover-up?


9/4/11

Norway's Moral Maturity

a Good Example

 

Despite 77 people being

murdered by a right wing

zealot, Norway's Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg is quoted to have said "together we are an unbreakable chain of care, democracy, and safety."

 

Will the nations advance to this level of ethical, emotional and political maturity by adopting the

Earth Constitution?

Understanding militarization, war, core
masculinity, and loss of empathy

Professor Kathleen Barry's latest book "Unmaking War, Remaking Men" offers a worldview which challenges the traditional masculine values seen in the world's fixation with violent solutions over peaceful cooperation and empathy. 

Core masculinity is seen to harbor "contempt for women." Soldiers are taught sociopathic traits and are expendable.

Why Americans need the Earth Constitution

Despite the fact that health care is a "life or death" issue for many unlucky citizens, the US continues to debate if seeing the doctor, or the dentist for that matter, should be a public right, or another domain owned by private Money.

Conflict between Israel and Iran leading to war?
Why we need world federal government

 

The headlines these days make it clear that the conflict between Israel and Iran may move beyond economic sanctions against Iran.   Israel has stated it may attack Iranian nuclear facilities.   Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has warned that any attack would be met with retaliation.  

 

Without federal world government in place, an attack and invasion may soon be in the making creating a nightmare.  (read more... click on OPINION)
