Why everything we do must be the most important anything to have value. Why does everything need to be the best? Our individualistic culture?

This admonition, which is found in some rest rooms, holds for the world as well. For me, this encompasses * environment (preventing or mitigating sprawl, deforestation, extinction of species, global warming) * humanity (promoting virtuous circles for peace, education; breaking vicious circles of crime and drug abuse) * culture (fighting destruction of archeological sites through land use or looting in Iraq)

How best to create a 100% debtfree sustainable currency system that is decentralized and public? unlike current system adopted world-wide from colonnial times where money is issued as debt through fractional-reserve based centrallized private commercial banks. And compound interest (usury) is charged on the credit/loan issued by private banks to people, businesses and government. http://pods.zaadz.com/conscious_capitalism

I have taught in Montessori schools for many years because I find truth there. We have the ability to raise mentally healthy human beings, that are free in intellectual pursuit, with the balance of personal responsibility. As John Taylor Gatto suggests, we crush so much potential in the way we currently parent and educate our children. While it may not seem an immediate solution to the worlds problems, the result of our lack of attention to human development is reflected our reality today.

Put pressure on the G8 leaders to achieve the UN The Millennium Goals they already agreed to. The plan to end world hunger. Join the Borgen Project & The Millennium Goals www.borgenproject.org. Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger Goal 2: Achieve universal primary education Goal 3: Promote gender equality and empower women Goal 4: Reduce child mortality Goal 5: Improve maternal health Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases Goal 7: Ensure environmental sustainability Goal 8: Develop a global partnership for development ABOUT THE MILLENNIUM GOALS The U.N. Millennium Development Goals represent the most significant opportunity in the history of humankind. In 2000, the largest gathering of world leaders ever assembled met in New York City and agreed to a time-frame for ending the world’s top global concerns. In this age of opportunity and technology, very little political effort is required to achieve the utterly affordable and doable goals.

the most important question in the world is: How can we match the feelings and diseres of the, so called, experience-society to the needs of our earth. The earth needs us and we need the earth, but right know most of the people don´t have any idea how to life their lives like they are used to live it and thinking about the our climate, earth, nature, etc etc etc.

The most important question in the world now... is: how can I make much money? I should be: Who am I? Because the answer of this question is the moment of reflecting acting.

The most important question... Is there a God and are there after-life consequences for our choices and actions made in this life? Of course, many will disagree. So many don't even believe in God anymore, let alone an after-life, ah modern times, ah rational humanism. So, the most important question really becomes a matter of viewpoint and priorities. Therefore, I suggest we form a "world committee" to study this question. Years and years from now, after the World Committee has heard all petitions and all arguments have been presented and carefully reviewed we citizens of earth will follow the World Committee's policy procedures. Of course, as the World Committee, acknowledging that over six-billion people have presented an overwhelming numbers of issues for consideration, has formed six World-Region Sub-Committees and now literally hundreds of national and local World Focus Study Groups, those policy procedures are likely to be quite extensive, complex, and contradictory. Both CNN and FoxNews are reporting that there could be tens of thousands of most important questions in the world by the end of the year 2015, when the World Committee Most Important Questions in the World Now Policy Procedure Handbook is slated for initial public release. Member of the World Committee have been quoted as saying they feel confident all questions, from all people, will be factored into their account, and further, that all questions will be acted on and solved.

making politicans like the liars Blair and Bush et el answerable - untill we can make politicans and those who have the power to create such carnage and horror in the world accountable to the laws like the rest of us, then nothing much will change in our world - justice is a key to a sane and just civlisation - while these men can order the death and desctruction of so many based on clear lies, then we have nothing much to build a humanity upon - yet men and women languish in jail for simply not having money to pay a fine - our humanity is in danger of disintergration

The fundamental first question: Who am I? followed shortly by: Who do I want to be? this defines how you think about and respond to everything else, how you define yourself as a poluter or a conservationist, as carbon neutral or excessively decadent.
