Thoughts to ponder July 2015

FREEDOM IS FOCUSING ON TODAY, AND TO DO THE BEST YOU CAN WITH WHAT YOU HAVE NOW.

Do not die fighting for freedom.   Bondage lies in 'looking over the shoulder to blame'.

War cripples a country and kills people you love.
War destroys the economies of nations.
We can not eat bullets.


Choose peace through education and employment.

Do not vote for militant self righteous leaders .with empty promises.

Learn about the economy.

Struggling companies can not afford wage increase, bonuses for management and an unfair gap between the workers and the bosses.

It is a good idea to consider the damage that a strike will do to the general economy.   It will affect the pensions that of the elderly and those who struggles and it will increase taxes.

If the union leader, who urges workers to strike, has a round fat shiny head,  he possibly lives from the proceeds of strife.   Think before you act.

The gap between the developed and the undeveloped countries

Change can only happen when people desire it.

The difference between developed and developing countries is determined how intelligent their decision-making processes are and their ability to manage their human resource.

Babies can not walk before they have learned how to roll over or sit up in their cradles.    

The maturity of leaders can be judged on how they are able to put their country or community's needs above their own.  
The old king-and-castle leaders are being seen as exploiters who feather their own nests at the expense of  their citizens. 
The first world expects their leaders to  promote their country as a powerful global co-operative player.   They see themselves as group players with their leaders the captains of their team.



Responsibility and control are two elements of maturity.

A self diagnoses of the maturity of the citizens in a region or an organization can be measured by the way they behave during strike action or protest actions:

A mature group will respect the right and possessions of other.
They will be non-violent.
They will not degrade their community or country.
They will not derail the country's opportunity to achieve or grow financially strong. (Strike action during global sporting of conferencing events)
They will not 'cut their noses to spite their faces' by burning down libraries or schools because they want a better education.
They will not ask the government to fix toilets or broken windows in schools before trying to do it themselves or by asking for help from the community first.
They will not steal from hospitals or institutions that is there to aid those in need.
Nurses will not desert those in their care to strike for more wages.
A first world country know how to maintain roads or public buildings.    Lack of maintenance is a sign of immaturity and in most cases not of poverty.
The gap between the living styles of leaders and citizens is another measure for financial abuse.

This post seems unnecessary for those who have the ability to think for themselves, but there are so many people in developing countries who are still using their combined power destructively.   The problem is that they are being driven by self centered leaders who should have more integrity.

A better world, faster.

When strike action turns to war action we do not need bulldogs with rubber teeth.

When strikers use live ammunition, or other weapons to inflict bodily harm, they are no longer strikers.   They have crossed the line and became terrorists.?

The minute a striker arms him/her self with a weapon or a fire lighter he/she should receive the confrontation given to any terrorist world wide.

Having said that, we need to address the real reason behind the violence.

The buck stops with the politicians.  

There should be a rule of as to how much company executives may earn as compared to the workers.  There should be an even gap between all ranks or earners, from the bottom up.    (Say a 15% increase in earnings between all grades and not 5% at the lower end and 600% at the top)

Neither should the earnings of workers (and executives)  be fixed, but should be determined according to the profitability of the mine or company.   Earnings should be based of net profits.   It could be high – low – or nothing, but the same rule should apply to all workers and executives.

It is time that the gap between glut and starvation is addressed.

Unfortunately it can not be done by reigning politicians because they will not be willing to give up their luxurious lifestyles.  This is something the country will have to vote for and it is something only a new parliament can implement across the board.

The best we can do, for now,  is to run a few pilot initiatives, just to test this new fairer profit driven even-gap system.

To strike oneself out of jobs

The strikers today, may become the unemployed of tomorrow.
Some employers will have to decrease their staff quotas.
Other may close shop altogether.

RESPONSIBLE STRIKE ACTION

Unions should be held accountable when emergency action has been interrupted due to strike action.
The cost of repairs for vandalism or other damage to property due to strike action should also be subtracted from any wage increases that has been negotiated. People should know that they could not gain from another's pain
