Is anybody listening to our call. Sadly to say–so far, not so much…
World Peace appears to be a business model rather than a movement. I contacted 30 sites professing to be working towards World Peace last week with a contact letter introducing ourselves, explaining our platform and inviting the recipients to join with us in this undertaking, A Global Strike For World Peace. The response was disappointing, to say the least. So far we’ve received three replies.
The first was from an author of a book advocating for changes in the U.S. constitution. A worthy cause and some excellent ideas. Unfortunately, the author was more interested in selling his book than anything we proposed–in fact in none of our communications did he once mention our plan. I tried to explain to him that regardless of the validity of his proposals, and the wonderful ideas of others like himself, the sad truth of the matter was that ultimately they were all irrelevant because NO ONE WAS LISTENING TO THEM. Their voices were lost in the clutter, and the policy makers simply weren’t paying attention. The last thing those in positions of established political power were going to do was implement changes which would force them out of office, and end the gravy train they are getting wealthy on. I finally gave up after he told me to write a letter to the editor of a newspaper. World Peace? Not interested, but do buy my book.
Our second response was from a woman who runs an organization purportedly promoting World Peace through Inner Peace. OK, I’ll buy that–can’t have one without the other, I guess… Unfortunately, she was just too busy with her own personal initiatives to even consider linking to this site. I suppose I should be happy she at least had the courtesy to reply. But, sheesh. Really? Too busy?
We did finally strike gold with a reply from Rick at http://www.worldpeaceiscoming.com/. Check out his site and his blog at u4ya.ca/blog. We hope to have him blogging here for us, and visa-versa, sometime in the near future.
Our next step is to contact the Occupy Wall Street sites, and connect with their followers and bloggers. We’ll keep you posted as to how that turns out.
We need a unified world government, A Federal Republic of Nations, if we’re ever to achieve World Peace and we won’t cease our efforts until it comes about. We wont give up. And neither should you.
