7. Thanks for the response
Many of us are already doing what we can "individually"...I'm not talking about personal responsibility. I'm talking about a viable plan that you could walk into a WTO meeting with and gain approval from the powers-that-be to change the world.

One example would be nanotechnology. That term is now being used to represent a lot of things, but the original idea was to be able to make anything out of anything. In other words, you could make fuel out of garbage by manipulating it at the molecular level. I don't know how viable that is, but for our movement to "get the job" of ruling the world, we have to have ideas big enough to rule the world. The practical matter of convincing the sheep can certainly be worked out later. First, we have to get the job.

Nuclear energy was also once seen as just such a breakthrough, paradigm-shifting development...but we rightfully reject that because the risks are too high.

All I'm saying is that perhaps the Neocons are doing a better job "managing" what is seen as an urgent problem by those who do the hiring. Where is our "Statement of principles" equivalent to the PNAC document...where's our pitch?
