[GMW #1958] Comparing Paltry UN Budgets With National Budgets

When I was transferred to another post, my former colleagues in the Budget said that it was the end of the "Spring of Prague" and Secretary General U Thant welcomed me as his new assistant with these worlds: "I am sure you will be happier here than in the Budget."

Special mention must be made to C. V. Narasimhan, Constantin A. Stavropoulos, Bohdan Lewandowski, Bruce Turner, Brian E. Urquhart, Robert Muller, William Powell, and Yasushi Akashi." "A new quality of planetary imaginations demanded from all of us ... an open acceptance of belonging -- as in fact we all do -- to the human race as well as to our local community  ... the mark of the truly educated and imaginative person facing the twenty-first century is that they feel them self to be a planetary citizen. ... this concept of world citizenship ... building the future World Community."

She says, "Life requires access to clean water; to deny the right to water is to deny the right to life." In her work she particularly advocates for the world's poor, who in some cases pay more for potable water than do wealthier people in the same communities. She travels and lectures widely, arguing that water is a basic right and should not be a commodity. Ms. Barlow is the National Chairperson of The Council of Canadians, Canada's largest citizen's advocacy organization with over 100,000 members. She is also founder of the Blue Planet Project, which works to stop commodification of the world's water. She is also a Director with the International Forum on Globalization, a San Francisco based research and education institution opposed to economic globalization. Ms. Barlow is the recipient of numerous educational awards and has received honorary doctorates from four Canadian universities for her social justice work. She is the best-selling author or co-author of fourteen books. Her most recent publications are Blue Covenant: The Global Water Crisis and The Coming Battle for the Right to Water, Blue Gold, The Fight to Stop Corporate Theft of the World's Water (with Tony Clarke), now published in 40 countries; Profit is Not the Cure, A Citizens' Guide to Saving Medicare; Making the Links: A Peoples' Guide to the WTO and the FTAA (with Tony Clarke); and The Canada We Want: A Citizen's Alternative to Deep Integration. She was awarded a Lannan Cultural Freedom Fellowship in 2005. Ms. Barlow resides in Ottawa, Ontario. You may learn more about this and other events on the Lannan website.

[GMW #1955] A Proper Earth Government That Ends Warrings, Divisions, Waste And Duplication

[GMW #1955] A Proper Earth Government That Ends Warrings, Divisions, Waste And Duplication Monday 10 May 2010, Editor: Easy | RobertMuller.org | Contact | Subscribe | Unsubscribe | Biography | World Core Curriculum | Store | Facebook | Twitter | GMW Blogs: English | Portuguese | Spanish | Tagalog | Dutch | Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500 ~ Idea 343 ~    18 June 1995 The world of today is in the same state as were the American States when great leaders stood up and declared that the warrings and divisions between the states could not continue, that America was in a chaos, with utter waste and duplication between the states.  A Constitutional Assembly was held in Philadelphia which met for ten years of bitter debates until it finally produced and adopted the US Constitution with its wise system of balance of powers. The world needs today pressingly a similar initiative.  There is need for great leaders of this planet to decide that a world constitutional Assembly be held to draft a constitution for proper Earth government. Perhaps it might take longer since the world is much more complicated than were the American states.  But it is also more urgent because this time the whole Earth is in jeopardy and danger of terminal illness. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,   Volume II Chapter 14 - Of Writing How many great thoughts and beautiful statements I had in my head during my youth and many years of my life.  But I did not write them down, and most of them are gone for ever.  Always carry with you a notebook to write down the flashes of truth, the observations, the ideas and dreams that come to your mind, heart and soul. UN News Sources - UN Chronicle, United Nations News Service , UN Wire News Archive References: Earth Charter, Universal Declaration of Human Rights Rights of: Children, Women, Indigenous People To Be Written: Rights of Nature, Birds, Animals, Fish, etc. Rabindranath Tagore’s Birthday May 8 Rabindranath Tagore’s compassion ran deep and permeated his writing. In 1891, he went to manage his father’s estate, living close to villagers and developing sympathy for them which became the keynote for later writings. Although he was awarded the knighthood in 1915, he surrendered it four years later to protest the British massacre of Indians. In “Mind Without Fear,” Tagore shares his dream of a world that’s not been “broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls." According to the Bengali calendar, the date of Tagore's birth is 25th Baisakh, 1268. It is uncertain where this date falls on the Gregorian calendar, May 8 being one of the possibilities. For photos, selected works, and Tagore's conversations with Einstein and H.G. Wells, please see this Rabindranath Tagore webpage. Titled Prayer in the original Bengali poem. Tagore translated the poem to English with the title Where The Mind Is Without Fear Mind Without Fear Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments      by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth; Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection; Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way      into the dreary desert sand of dead habit; Where the mind is led forward by thee into      ever-widening thought and action -- Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake. The last line, for these times, could also be: Into that heaven of freedom, the planet can awake. Books recommended by Robert are here.

Constantly battling the "bulge," I hated these temptations, but nevertheless often gave in to them. Finally, I decided to put out a jar of my own "feel good" stuff, with no calories. I bought a beautiful jar and spent one whole weekend at home cutting up colorful strips of paper and writing inspiring quotes on them. I filled the jar with quotes and placed it on my desk for people to help themselves to. It took a while to catch on, but soon, everyone was stopping by for my "food for thought" jar to fill up on something much better than empty calories! [ more ] Books recommended by Robert are here.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,   Volume II Chapter 14 - Of Writing A good writer must convey hope and happiness.  The reader wants to be reassured about life, aggrandized, not diminished.  Why should he receive your unhappiness and adversities?  He has enough of his own.  You might interest him, but he will put your book aside and never return to it.  He will re-read only inspiring, positive, hopeful, helpful books.
