It's beyond me how, at the threshold of the 21st century, our world still contains not only traces but chunks of uncivilized attitudes acceptable only in the stone age.
How can we, the people of the world, stop double speak and outrageous violations of the most basic human rights such as the right to healthy food and a peaceful place to eat it!??????
How can we unmask the political leaders of our world and put on the table all their hidden agendas?
How can we design our most desirable and achievable future!??????
Best regards (and still optimistic, despite the fact that the answers are yet to come).
