Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1426 ~    6 June 1998

One could make a serious plea for local, state, national, continental and world common ownership.  For example:

- the archives and archives building of my hometown in Alsace-Lorraine belong to the city, and rightly so;

- many art treasures belong to local, state and national museums.  The UN and its agencies are also conservation places of art treasures;

- there are many municipal, state and national parks in the world and the beginning of world parks with the wonderful preserved lands of the University for Peace;

- the high seas and oceans are a commons of humanity and are to be administered by a United Nation High Authority;

I would like to see more of all this, in order to stop the destruction of the planet by sole national sovereignty and private business motives.

It is a major question worth looking into on a world-wide basis.  This is why I have recommended the creation of a world land ownership register or cadastre.  It would yield the most interesting results.  The publicly owned roads, highways, bridges and airports of this planet would alone yield an impressive figure.  I highly recommend that WIPO, the UN's World Intellectual Property Organization be entrusted with the holding of a World real estate register or cadastre.

In a true democracy, people are entitled to know to whom this Earth belongs.  It will be a good subject for the Panel of personalities under former Secretary General Boutros Ghali appointed by UNESCO to look into the subject of democracy.  I will send them my ideas on the subject.

To be negative is naive and repels.
To be positive is interesting and attracts.

Inspiration of the Day:
Snapshots from Japan: A woman opens up her home and bathrooms to weary travelers walking hours home. A baker gives out free bread. Customers at the supermarket pick up fallen items and quietly stand in line to buy food. An old man at the evacuation shelter asks, "What's going to happen now?" And a young high school boy nearby responds, "Don't worry! When we grow up, we will promise to fix it back!" Among the tremendous ripples of Japan's tsunami are some of the most strikingly powerful yet simple moments of human grace. [ more ]


Be The Change:
When faced with adversity, remember the potential in life's small moments of grace.
