Building A New World Order. How Americans Can Help.

[Audio link to be added]

Click on the audio link. Listen to Over The Rainbow USA. Over The Rainbow USA is a song of love for freedom and exploration (Part 1), and a song of love for country (part 2). It begins and ends with a Mid-Eastern theme; hoping there will be love and understanding between East and West. Over The Rainbow USA was composed, arranged and played on an electronic piano by Dr. Sheldon.

In America, a home of free speech, money can buy free speech and free press. This unfairness permeates American political and other human service institutions. American values are in conflict. For most Americans, the only way to be heard is to join a large protest group or otherwise attract mass media attention. At least half of all Americans do not vote. Voting is not free speech. Voting gives you the right to choose someone who may free speak for you. You could send up to $2,000 to support the candidate of your choice.

How can average Americans, who are not wealthy, who are not celebrities, who have no political connections and no connections to any of the mass media, communicate with millions of other fellow Americans when they want to communicate?

Most Americans do not have $5,000 to spend on free speech. They need to use it to pay for food, rent or mortgage, clothing for themselves and their children, for transportation or for payment on their car or on gas for their car, etc. Suppose you are one of the lucky Americans who has something to say, and can spend $5,000 on free speech. How would you use your $5,000 to communicate with millions of other fellow Americans? How would you use your $5,000 to get the most bang for your buck?

This website is an experiment in relatively low-cost free speech and free press.

We believe in the value of competition when the consequences of competition mutually benefit the competitors.

"I would rather play tennis with someone who I know will beat me than play with someone I know I can beat because losing to a better player stretches my abilities, and will make me a better tennis player." That's win-win competition. If you have a better idea than mine that benefits me, then you win and I win too. That's win-win competition.

Competition that sets human being against human being, win-lose competition, leads to consequences of exploitation and corruption. Win-lose competition is evil.

Ideally we would prefer a nation in which the highest personal income was never more than ten times the lowest personal income. In our vision for nations there is no poverty and no crimes for money. There is also no need for charity. People who could not work would be covered by a safety net. People who could work would work for intrinsic motivational reasons. They would work because they wanted to, not because they had to. They would work, each in their own way to contribute to their society.

If America is to lead the world to a better world, then America must first itself come clean.

The current salary for the President of the U.S.A. is $400,000 per year. Let's say that in any given year no one can have a personal income greater than the salary of the President of the U.S.A. from wages, investments, winnings, and gifts. The President's salary could not be more than ten times the lowest personal income. The President could not have a personal income from all sources of income which was more than ten times the lowest personal income in America.

Persons receiving an income greater than the income ceiling would receive credit for following years. Two or more people living in the same household would likewise have an income ceiling. The personal income ceiling would also serve as a personal spending ceiling for that year.

Business income would be clearly, and lawfully differentiated from personal income. Excessive business income could be used to raise employee salaries up to the income ceiling, increase stockholder dividends up to the income ceiling, lower consumer prices on goods and services produced by the business, for business expansion, and for higher taxes. Tax evasion loopholes, such as changing corporate address to a foreign country, would be terminated.

America already has a partially electronic currency system. A crime-free totally electronic currency system using fingerprints, voiceprints, and eyeprints for identification would insure compliance to the personal income ceiling law. Cash and checks would become obsolete. The personal income ceiling law and the totally electronic currency system could eliminate crimes for money; thus saving billions marked for building a better penal system.

Currently, wealthy individuals, wealthy nations, an international monetary fund and international charitable organizations do assist nations in need. International cooperation, e.g. in science, space exploration, emergency response to natural disasters, prevention of terrorism, and prevention of pandemic spread of illness, is not new to mankind. We look forward to a time in which monetary and other resources would be shared by nations regularly in accordance with international law.
We believe socio-economic frustration mixed with existential frustration, e.g. lack of clear meaning, identity, self-esteem, rootedness, belonging in the universe, purpose, venues of self-expression, direction, fulfillment for ones' life, make people vulnerable to Frustration-Displacement. It is one side of the various forms of destructiveness to self and others which plague our world.

The other side is learning and teaching groups and individuals from childhood how to take responsibility for their behavioral choices, exercise self-control, respect the rights of others, and respect their own rights for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; with hotlines, helplines, assessment services, placement services, counseling services and social support systems readily available.
The mission of human fulfillment is to reduce the Craziness that is harmful to self and others and to direct human energies towards positive individual and societal fulfillment. The mission is to match the fulfillment of positive individual needs, interests, abilities, talents, visions and dreams to the fulfillment of societal requirements.'
Hopefully, the hundreds of billions spent yearly in America and world-wide for offensive and defensive weapons [making the Daddy Warbucks very rich] could be redirected, and spent for child care, health care, education, curing poverty, etc.

"Mission Impossible" does not necessarily mean "Don't try." There is something worthwhile and strengthening in the trying effort itself.

We live in a world in which communication systems, transportation systems, and economic systems have become increasingly global. Perhaps it is time to begin thinking about changing the world for the better holistically.

We are for opening at least part of national television, magazines, radio and major newspaper media for genuine free speech and free press; in prime time and prime space, on a first come first serve basis, without any editorial intervention. We are for all mass media socio-political communication being free and equally represented.
