[discuss] Possible approaches to solving "problem no. 1"

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

I did not say i dislike my government, but I do distrust all governments 
including mine.  I think they have some limited roles and 
responsibilities in the well being of people according to Human Rights 
agreements, and figure it is the people's job to keep them on path.

And I do not believe in revolution but rather in evolution towards 
participatory democracy, a form of which is called multistakeholderism, 
in governments and in all other institutions.

As for not living in the same world as you, oh well, I can live with that.

thank you

avri
