The earth crossed the line of sustainability!
At this time, when we are nearing the 2015 initiative to make poverty history,
the increasing unsustainable growth of humanity is squashing that dream of ever being realized.
Seventy five percent of the human population is struggling to survive.
There simply are not enough resources to continue feeding the world at the current poverty crises rate;
Let alone when poverty is history and everyone can financially afford to buy food.
Humanity has to reduce its birth rate and strive for a zero population growth.
There is not enough space on earth to grow food to end hunger without destroying
our natural resources that is already at unsustainable level.
There is an urgency to address two main problems.
1. The glut among high earners and
2. The birth rate of the poverty-stricken masses.
We need to strive for only live child per woman.
Every birth should consciously be planned and every child should have the right to enjoy all that the earth and her environment has to offer.
It is time that we are educated to become responsible for the space we occupy on earth.
The power of the future should be in our hands.
Have you ever thought how much fish the world harvest from the sea for human consumption each day
LET HE WHO HAS EYES TO SEE ACT NOW

Strike while the iron is hot!
While the television broadcasting corporation in South Africa is under scrutiny, it may be the right time to take responsibility the role television to can play in educating and guiding a nation.
What is regularly shown on television may have a long-term impact on the minds of the viewers.
“What we view on television today becomes our reality of tomorrow”
The power of audiovisual stimuli should never be underestimated; it can make or break a nation.
Television could be utilized to close a gap in education for both adults and children.
Taking responsibility, for the quality of programs to be offered to the public, need not break the budget.
There are many volunteers who will volunteer their service for little more than gratitude -- Volunteers who will welcome a chance to make a difference.
Free training and VBEE (Volunteer Broad-spectrum Economic Empowerment) points which could be cashed in for *government favors. (Like VBEE points in the piggy bank)
We could start moving away from financial rewards for all jobs done.
People no longer need to travel to capital cities and stay over in expensive hotels to conference, or having the inconvenience of leaving their home towns.
Conferencing can take place in 'virtual conference settings' using computerized electronic media.
Volunteers can overview what is being offered, to the public, on the television screens. A team of psychologists, elders and other experts can determine the effect the viewing will have on the nation.
They can be trained and provided with the necessary computer equipment to attend virtual meetings or conferences.
Electronic conferencing can be launched from local libraries if the volunteers are unable to participate due to insecure living conditions or computer-illiteracy.
There are many ways to get the elders and other experts from all over the world together to nation-build.
Local librarians and teachers can be trained to help the volunteers with this task. It could be considered their duty to nation-build without expecting remuneration.
A VBEE piggy-bank system can here also be implemented to be used as bargaining points for promotion.
Africans can help other Africans to become proudly African again. They can learn to respect themselves and others again. We have so many damaged people in the country and on the continent.
People are damaged because of their past experiences as freedom fighters, child soldiers, poverty, drugs, immorality, illiteracy and violence. They need to learn what is normal and what thoughts are healthy and what is destructive to them and their environment.
We need to heal in order to respect and honor again.
We need to reach out to fill education gaps when a system breaks down or is not yet in place.
Television can become a powerful nation-building tool.
A few local soaps with a morale building script, instead of one that is based on divorce, back stabbing, murder and cheating can provide a great influence on the minds of the viewers.
People follow the examples of their idols.
We need to create heroes with a high code of ethics -- Heroes who are nation-builders.
----------------------------------
* VBEE points could be given to people who make a difference without receiving financial rewards for their service.
Suggestions of how volunteers can be remunerated by using VBEE points (Volunteer Broad-based Economic Empowerment) points
VBEE points could be like money in a bank and could be electronically loaded onto a debit card.
VBEE points could be used to increase one’s VIP status.
VBEE points count towards job promotions.
VBEE currency could buy a percentage of their rates and taxes.
VBEE points could buy entry to government and municipal facilities like museums and reserves.
Etc.

LET THE EDUCATED AND THE ELDERS RUN THE COUNTRY
Babies being born into some Indian tribes in the Amazon are buried alive. This is a practice that is being covered up by the Brazilian authorities out of respect for tribal culture according to newspaper reports. The tradition is based on beliefs that babies with any sort of physical defect have no souls, and that others such as twins and triplets are also "cursed".
In Africa it has been reported in the past that the belief that raping babies or virgins will cure or prevent aids.
If Africans with a similar naive tribal belief cannot yet understand the technology of modern medicine; how can they be expected to understand the running of a modern government with all its complexities? With one-person one-vote these people can be bulldozed into voting for any unscrupulous politician. To harvest political votes in Africa must be one of the main methods of pre-election political farming. Fear of course is another. Let the best political farmer or bully wins. During the first open election the people expected to receive houses immediately, as was promised. Many of them are still waiting and some of them literally died waiting for houses nearly seventeen years later...
The solution may be to give voting rights to people with a predetermined educational standard or of mature age. This will put the decision making process of he country (or continent) back into the hands of the educated and the elders. This can only be done if there is free and available schooling for all children. It will also encourage people to reach the predetermined educational standard in order to have a say in the running of the Country
