°°° Is it possible to end with practices of deliberate disinformation?
Jean-Pierre Petit is trying to reveal what has been hidden voluntarily. The
archbishop of Boston wrote to President Bush to ask him to say the truth
about terrorism. "We are the target of the terrorists because we are hated,
and we are hated because we made odious things. To sum up, we should be
good instead of being bad. Who would try to stop us then? Who would hate us?
Who would like to bombard us? It is just this, Mr. President. It is just
this, what the American people needs to hear". °°°

ººº The conception of human or mental maturity would be able to focus on a
learning process which urgently needs to be completed on a global level. May
I suggest that the notion *Human Maturity* or *Mental Maturity* could be the
one we all are looking for? Don't you feel that this idea might be able to
describe all the different, essential and socializing aspects we found and
shared in this forum and elsewhere? Such a learning process could embrace
all cultural ideas from all parts of the planet which ever have been
generated. If we succeed to relate them to social and ecological justice in
a local as well as global scale, we could manage to adopt a world view which
will lead to a sane future for all of us. First step of such a learning
process could be to replace all manipulations of history by the so called
'winners' at the bitter cost of a broad majority of losers. After the
breakdown of 'really existing socialism' capitalism in the cloak of
globalisation is definitely *not* the alternative. A New Historical Project
might be given birth by maturating parents. I have the notion that we are
among those parents.ººº
Diversity and poverty (Spanish)

ººº The protection of the cultural diversity, that is the unique human
diversity, is in hands of the biggest cultures and the eradication of the
poverty is in hands of the rich countries. Everything in the progressive
democrats' hands. A new global agreement, to save the damaged languages and
to eradicate poverty, should contain the following aspects: protection of
the properties rightfully obtained, an increase of freedoms in job
recruiting, implementation of the basic income and official status to minor
cultures, by promoting bi-culturality, prevailing the first one in case of
conflict. I want to insist in the idea of * diversity *, because beyond this
forum and other similar places, there are many people that believe that
everything works as best as possible, and that people must to accept their
destiny with resignation. To find a solution to both problems, this is a
task only for those * socially progressive people * by means of a democratic
daily exercise.ººº

ººº The principles of working of a future World Parliament should serve to
reflect in it the worries of the population, should make it free from
pressures, clear and comprehensible, and efficient in the development of its
propositions and endowed of a real power face of Nation - States. We can
give to this WP a Constitution so that its power never turns against any
part of the population whoever, being founded in the texts already ratified
by the civilized countries as the Declaration of Human Rights, of children
rights, the charter of the Earth... on the other hand, every Community of
ideas must carry only one essential demand, to prevent from those that, as
in the political parties, are promising everything without to commit a real
responsibility. The efficiency in the development of the proposals supposes
a direct contact with the population of the whole world. Every community of
ideas being represented at a global level by enough voices, would have right
to a seat in every country, for to have an exact view of the problems
concerning its own demand. The central seat would have a centre of research,
which results must help the Community of idea to make vote its resolutions
to the WP in order to give him a coercive strength over the States.ººº

ººº My intention was not to say that my personal spiritual choice is better
or worst than any other. It is only better for me. Spirituality is in my
opinion a merely personal domain. But I don't see its place in a World
Parliament, not more that the debate between modernity and tradition. You
are right to have raised the decay of the modern morality, but too much
tradition also drives to obscurantism and to dangerous practices especially
for the woman. The role of representatives of a WP is not to be pronounced
about that, but to propose some measures to give satisfaction to the
essential demands of their voters. It is clear that the resolutions of a WP
will have some consequences on political, economic and even perhaps
religious life, so much the worse for those that believe to have the truth,
what is worth is the opinion of the world population. Otherwise, is not the
worth to build a World Parliament.ººº
