21st CENTURY VISIONS !!!

IN the 20Th century, national sovereignty was generally regarded as something sacred, something that couldn't be interfered with. IN the 21st century, a head of state, a regime or a government can't be left free to do whatever they deem good to their interests or survival.

AS we know today, the world can not stand aside when gross and systematic violations of human rights are taking place ,we also learn that interventions must be based on legitimate and universal principles if it is to enjoy sustained support of the world's community.

WE need to establish a formal body of rules and laws to govern when the UN can authorise an intervention in a sovereign state, including the capability to remove it's leader by force if necessary. WE need to take urgent actions to establish a proposed set of rules to govern our responsibility to protect, our responsibility to react, and our responsibility to free an oppressed people.


20st century modes of dividing the world under major superpower's interests are not acceptable nor justifiable in our 21st century. Veto power in the UN of the said permanent members are not acceptable nor useful to the entirety of world nations. Whether these vetoes come from the U.S. protecting Israel or Russia protecting the Syrian regime, as the two countries and in both cases exercised a very selfish power in blocking and stopping the international body of nations imposing some just and needed actions and solutions.

THIS is a normal inversion of traditional behaviour, which seems necessary for a new era. THE 21st century brings the need for major policy changes on the world scene, with ethics based in deep philosophy. WE have to escape from some of the deeply embedded viewpoints of the 20Th century.

Vested interests will try to discredit such changes in our world legislation, and sometimes in brutal ways, we have again the blatant examples of the Syrian regime or the Israeli right wing government's behaviour and indifference facing international objections to their wrong doings at different instances in their recent history and only protected by superpower's vetoes.

WORLD people and nations need to be sure we understand the journey ahead and need to plan well how to bring about necessary inversions.




Just an honest opinion, thanks for your time.

THE STATE OF THE UNION.......

OF course what I'm referring to here is the union of any two persons, whether in marriage or any form of relationships, including friendship.

THE long time success of a relationship depends far more on avoiding the negative than on seeking the positive. A good estimate that a stable marriage/relationship requires that good interactions outnumber bad interactions by at least 3-4 to 1, some experts even see a 5 to 1 ratio as fair. Every couple should observe themselves.

WE all know that a friendship or a relationship that may take years to develop and mature can be ruined by one single action.

THE prime goal and concerns of a good relationship is that we should survive it.

Because we need to make sure that we are not close to the limits beyond which relationship's total breakage occurs, a discipline that continualy and comprehensively keeps measuring and modeling the mechanisms governing any relationship should reign at all instances.

THE art of living within the boundaries of a relationship, whether it's a couple in marriage or just lovers or a friendship is to make the best of it, not to try to organise everything the way you want.

MY words and few lines contain questions that are addressed personally to the reader, TO YOU. WE are more likely to learn something by finding surprises in our behaviour than by hearing surprising facts about people in general.




Thanks for your time and patience.

WAITING FOR THE CATASTROPHE !!!!

THE possibility of climate change represents a titanic clash of interests between the ability of the planet to support our lifestyle against the profitability of big oil/coal commercial enterprises.

Because there is no apparent certainty, the oil and coal industries can choose to ignore the possibilities and carry on with business as usual. But if we wait until the evidence of catastrophic climate change is conclusive and evident to the eye, it will be too late to stop it. The forces provoking climate change cannot themselves be changed quickly to reverse course.

The study of global warning has become so visible that profit-driven falsification of science constitutes "a clear crime against humanity."

Scientists with their extensive instrumentation have warned us that the Ocean conveyor is beginning to change in all Oceans and more so in the North Atlantic, it might sooner than later be too late to stop it. Once these conveyors start to change, the huge momentum of the forces at work will carry it forward irreversibly.

The U.S. department of defence commissioned a study on the consequences of the Ocean Conveyor's changing their positions and worked out three scenarios in detail. In the worst, Britain and Holland followed by most of central and east Europe have such frigid temperatures that many people leave. Much of Sweden turns to tundra. The Riviera becomes like the main coast of the north. As this is happening and while Western Europe turns icy, central Africa becomes hotter, and rainfall rates decline.

Many parts of the world experience severe droughts. There are mass migrations of people and wars caused by shortages of water and food. Despite this scenario, presented by it's own Department of Defence, the U.S. government took no action.

The true cost of carbon-based fuels includes the costs of pollution, military protection of oil assets and the costs of abnormal storm damage that is related to global warming. The medical expenses for coal-related sickness and emissions of carbon-based gases resulting in enormous lost workdays.

When these costs are included in the accounting, the cost of power from wind generators and solar panels and other green energy resources could be less than the cost of power from coal and oil. If and when that happens, there will be mass production of alternate energy sources, and that by itself will bring down their costs substantially.



thanks for listening, your interest is as usual greatly appreciated, salamat.
