				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">As a young man came up to the door today introducing himself as an ex-gang member, with the tattoos on hands to prove his point &#8211; he began to relate his story &#8211; troubled upbringing in the bad areas of central Chicago growing up and being forced by the government to relocate from project to project where each were no better than another.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The young man in his 20&#8242;s was a proud father of a little girl whom he said <em>he was out to better his life and make something of himself so his daughter wouldn&#8217;t grow up falling into the same traps he did</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The magazines he offered were of little use to actually helping a human being achieve such lofty goals &#8211; when mentioned how this will help him pedaling magazines that not many would ever consider &#8211; we talked further. When finished, he walked away disappointed that magazines were not purchased and his problems remained. Could anyone actually purchase enough magazine subscriptions to fix his problems, better his life and help his daughter avoid the traps he fell into?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If this is the answer to help the youth of today <em>to make something of him </em>(or her)<em> self</em> and avoid the <em>traps</em> that lay ahead, then there is little hope for those who&#8217;ve known poverty and know the inequality as they walk from home to home and city to city knocking on doors let alone all who do not have shoes to walk.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Until there is no poverty, there will always be inequality and while there is inequality there will always be poverty.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">How much better off would our humanity be, as a whole, if young people everywhere knew they would always have access to freely available food, clothing, health care, basic education and had a home to stay in and raise his or her children without having to do such innocuous tasks just to survive- How many &#8220;gang members&#8221; wouldn&#8217;t need to be trying to escape but would never have joined to begin with under more globally humane circumstances?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When this world figures out that when <em>We The People </em>treat anyone poorly <em>We The People </em>are treating everyone just as poorly and doing a disservice to all mankind in the process- this world will be a better place. There is no reason <em>We The People</em> cannot help the poor, sick, uneducated, afflicted, incarcerated and impoverished to be able to help them know they are a treasured part of humanity and an important part of the only &#8220;family&#8221; that matters- our global family of fellow human beings&#8230; but it doesn&#8217;t take magazines; it takes a Government with a plan and the willingness to be, not just act, Humane.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In this <em>election</em> year, wouldn&#8217;t it be nice to be given the choice to elect someone who could put this, our global house, in order? Doing for humanity what it can&#8217;t seem to figure out how to do so for itself, without selling ones soul, miserable jobs, breaking banks, starting wars or losing personal value.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Listen to the <a title="MWAW Radio Show Home Page" href="http://marvelousworkandawonder.com/radio/index.htm" target="_blank">MWAW Radio Show </a>on Sunday evenings and listen to a spokesperson with a message from those who really do know poverty and inequality who does provide us with the solutions that ANY leader could follow if he or she wanted to do the right thing- he explains poverty and inequality in a way all can understand and provides a way by a simple plan to eliminate them both and all the ugliness that is bread from it with the marvelous purpose of elevating our humanity into its genuine potential, even a <em>world of opportunity,</em> potentially a century earlier than it will finally be, if the people elected early, to do so. No need to wonder how this can be accomplished; call in and ask him yourself!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">-When a starving person dies alone, is there anyone to hear?<br />
To know the answer, one must ask; Why not prevent the travesty in the first place and make the answer <em>Impossible! No one starves any more!</em></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong></strong>President Obama today announced that he now supports same-sex marriage, reversing his longstanding opposition amid growing pressure from the Democratic base and even his own vice president.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In an interview with ABC News&#8217; Robin Roberts, the president described his thought process as an &#8220;<a title="Timeline of Obama's 'Evolving' on Same-Sex Marriage" href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/05/timeline-of-obamas-evolving-on-same-sex-marriage/" target="_blank"><strong>evolution</strong></a>&#8221; that led him to this decision, based on conversations with his staff members, openly gay and lesbian service members, and his wife and daughters.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors, when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together; when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that &#8216;don&#8217;t ask, don&#8217;t tell&#8217; is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I&#8217;ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married,&#8221; Obama told Roberts in an interview to appear on <a href="http://gma.yahoo.com/" target="_blank"><strong>ABC&#8217;s &#8220;Good Morning America&#8221;</strong></a> Thursday.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The president stressed that this is a personal position, and that he still supports the concept of states&#8217; deciding the issue on their own. But he said he&#8217;s confident that more Americans will grow comfortable with gays and lesbians getting married, citing his own daughters&#8217; comfort with the concept.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>&#8220;</strong>It&#8217;s interesting, some of this is also generational,&#8221; the president continued. &#8220;You know when I go to college campuses, sometimes I talk to college Republicans who think that I have terrible policies on the economy, on foreign policy, but are very clear that when it comes to same-sex equality or, you know, sexual orientation, that they believe in equality. They are much more comfortable with it. You know, Malia and Sasha, they have friends whose parents are same-sex couples. There have been times where Michelle and I have been sitting around the dinner table and we&#8217;re talking about their friends and their parents and Malia and Sasha, it wouldn&#8217;t dawn on them that somehow their friends&#8217; parents would be treated differently. It doesn&#8217;t make sense to them and, frankly, that&#8217;s the kind of thing that prompts a change in perspective.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">How nice it would be to truly let all our fellow neighbors live free and in a way that made them happy without having to comply with the rights of the democracy in being forced to be someone they are not- the right to be with another human being should not be something the majority gets to dictate to others but should be available for anyone and everyone to choose for themselves how they will live their lives- doing so would make this a better world &#8211; and far less hate. This world will never be at peace until we make peace with one another.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a title="Anti-miscegenation laws in the United States" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-miscegenation_laws_in_the_United_States" target="_blank">Miscegenation laws</a> which regulate marital &amp; sexual relationships between persons of mixed races have existed in the US as early as the 1600’s beginning with the colonies of Virginia and Maryland.  Seaborn Roddenbery, a Georgia Democrat, proposed a miscegenation amendment before the House in 1912 &amp; 1913 stating among other things “Let us uproot and exterminate now this debasing, ultra-demoralizing, un-American and inhuman leprosy—Congressional Record, 62d. Congr., 3d. Sess., December 11, 1912, pp. 502–503.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In 1935 the National Socialist government enacted a miscegenation statute as part of the Nuremberg Laws of which the German title for the precise law translates into English as “The Protection of German Blood and German Honor Act.” Under Apartheid South Africa passed its Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act in 1949 and the Immorality Act of 1950. Egypt reviews all marriages between Egyptian men and Israeli women on an individual basis to decide whether to strip the men of their Egyptian citizenship. Saudi women are prohibited from marrying outside of the GCC (Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf) countries except with special dispensation from the king. Even today, same to same or same to different race, <a title="Same-sex_marriage" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-sex_marriage" target="_blank">Same-Sex Mariage</a> is still a penalty of death in some countries.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fortunately, people’s common sense inevitably challenges such laws and causes their demise just as Richard and Mildred Loving would even if they had not intended to do so when they married on June 2, 1958. After marrying in Washington D.C. they returned to their home state Virginia in which their mixed marriage was illegal. In the very early hours of July 14, 1958 they were awakened in their bed by a sheriff’s flashlight and taken into custody. Sentenced to one year in prison, it was suspended for 25 years on the condition the Loving’s leave the state.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A country girl at heart, Mildred was unhappy living in the D.C and being unable to travel together to Virginia to visit relatives, Mildred wrote to Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy who wrote referring her to the American Civil Liberties Union. To make a long legal story short, their case, Loving v. Virginia, culminated in the US Supreme Court which on June 12, 1967 unanimously overturned their convictions and ruled that the anti-miscegenation statute violated both the due process and equal protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On the 40th anniversary of Loving vs. Virginia Supreme Court decision Mildred stated:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">“My generation was bitterly divided over something that should have been so clear and right. The majority believed that what the judge said, that it was God&#8217;s plan to keep people apart, and that government should discriminate against people in love. But I have lived long enough now to see big changes. The older generation&#8217;s fears and prejudices have given way, and today&#8217;s young people realize that if someone loves someone, they have a right to marry.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">Surrounded as I am now by wonderful children and grandchildren, not a day goes by that I don’t think of Richard and our love, our right to marry, and how much it meant to me to have that freedom to marry the person precious to me, even if others thought he was the &#8216;wrong kind of person&#8217; for me to marry. I believe all Americans, no matter their race, no matter their sex, no matter their sexual orientation, should have that same freedom to marry. Government has no business imposing some people’s religious beliefs over others. Especially if it denies people&#8217;s civil rights.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">I am still not a political person, but I am proud that Richard&#8217;s and my name is on a court case that can help reinforce the love, the commitment, the fairness, and the family that so many people, black or white, young or old, gay or straight, seek in life. I support the freedom to marry for all. That’s what Loving, and loving, are all about.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> The good news is peoples prejudices and archaic beliefs can and do die with them, leaving newer generations to forge pathways to greater equal protection and freedom of choice for all humans. As it was with miscegenation so it will be with abortion rights, gay marriage and many other human rights presently denied. Eventually the time will come when all will see the only truly peaceful way to live is when we see each other as equals, no more judgments against one another but for one another.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If <em>We the People</em> give the WUF a chance, we&#8217;ll all see how quickly this can come. However, until the people in power who are the older generation&#8217;s fears and prejudices, finally give way and see things as the young people of today do or are at least persuaded to vote and act that way, meaning, if someone else thinks differently, then that person has just as much right to pursue their happiness just like they do, then these archaic laws will continue to take generations to change instead of days&#8230; at least we know, eventually, sooner or later, they will be changed!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">As January 2012 commenced, the counting down to what <em>some</em> believe and fear as the inevitable conclusion of human existence has begun. While <em>some</em> others are taking a far less dramatic or gloomy view of December 21, 2012 supposedly predicted as the end-of-time by ancient Mayas.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Religions often prophesy of humanity suffering a terrible cataclysmic end. Such sensational drama seems to appeal to human natures intrinsic impulse to know and be assured of the future, often inspiring fear and fascination at the same time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Maya scholars and scientists on the other hand, counter such beliefs on the basis of missing evidence to prove such prophetic thinking – maintaining that the Maya calendar merely represents the conclusion of a unit of time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Pop culture uses apocalyptic fever as yet another game, that of sorting out activity options for the end of time; an individual for example can:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">Book a room at a former monastery turned luxury hotel &amp; spa on the Amalfi Coast .<br />
Take the Belize Maya Heartland Tour 2012 visiting ancient cities and sites.<br />
Ride the new stand-up Apocalypse roller coaster at Six Flags D.C. or the Drop of Doom at Six Flags Valencia CA.<br />
Attend the &#8216;Rave to the Grave&#8217; dance music event in Oslo , Norway .<br />
35,000 dollars reserves a share at an underground shelter network for long term survival of future catastrophes and for the one percent a cool 1 million buys a half-floor unit (2 million for a full floor) survival condo at a former missile base in Kansas, just to name a few.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fun &amp; games aside momentarily, interestingly, interpreters of the ancient hieroglyphics do suggest it predicts the arrival of a deity &#8220;linked to warfare, famine, and social strife&#8221;. From the looks of things currently, this deity is and has been ruling with great blood and horror on this earth long before now.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What further insightful proof into human imposed suffering could be required – the continuation and increase of which easily causes the human family to wish for a speedy end.   Ending all war, famine and social strife by implementing the Plan of the WUF in 2012, would be the revelatory calm and happy ending worthy of revelry to end all 2012 revelries and indeed be a welcomed &#8221;conclusion of a unit of time&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When December 21, 2012 comes and goes without global human conclusion, remember, the WUF plan will still be here waiting to be put into action as the true beginning of Human Happiness&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Maya the WUF be with you- <img src='http://marvelousworkandawonder.com/wufblog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">No need for humans to worry about earth’s mythical destruction in 2012, although some may predict or even wish for it, such an outcome would simply be too easy a way out for the 7+ billion children who currently inhabit this planet. No, truth is we’re all just going to have to stick around while we create even more miserable inequality for each other.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Holiday times are often overly stressful for people, the very opposite of the happy portrayals they are given. USA Today Dec 22, 2011 &#8216;Just Say No To Christmas&#8217; reports on some folks who have decided to reduce their stress &amp; spending by foregoing Christmas all together. Others on Facebook’s social network post that they “despise almost everything about Christmas: music, shopping, family gatherings, trees and lights.”   The first Friday after Thanksgiving is now known as Black Friday, a color most appropriately describing scenes taking place in shopping establishments across the nation of people seemingly at war&#8211; as it were&#8211; fighting, hitting, stampeding and even pepper spraying each other during frenzied buying chaos.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It appears as though the joy, peace and good will of Christmas is losing the human race to record breaking sales, personal financial stressful hardship of unemployment and the increasing consumption of humanity by consumerist commercialism.   As 2011 comes to a close, folks everywhere celebrate the beginning of another year by adding personal resolutions to the spending mix; many if not most all of which will go unresolved.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“Saying no” to further human disconnection from artificiality and frivolity might begin with a closer introspection as to what Christmas is about. Named after a man honored, revered and worshipped by Christians the world over, the modern vernacular asks the same question in the form of “what would Jesus do?”   Christianity’s purpose sets about to encompass the entire world with accomplishing it&#8217;s mantra; &#8221;Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.&#8221; With that in mind, keeping of course, its message simple and true, every believer would support as did its namesake, who was no respecter of persons, every human being having basic food, clothing, shelter, health care and education.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Taken as a determination and decision to reduce things into their simpler forms and thereby improve oneself by reducing stress, be healthier or happier in whatever ways an individual holds firm to accomplish, resolutions seem to make human sense in spite of the fact that most go by the wayside.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Inherently our human nature desires the best of its own existence and to that end perhaps if the individual would seek to improve itself while allowing all others the same innate desire, beginning with meeting human existence&#8217; simplest needs, the resolution to end all resolutions would be accomplished.   Rather than gloom filled warning predictions or further commiseration of doomsdays our human family could resolve and gift to each other the easiest way out and simply do in this New Year what Christmas would do and have a worldwide celebration!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After thousands of years of these unresolved resolutions; failing to eliminate poverty and inequality, failing to stop wars, failing to feed the hungry to clothe the naked, to heal the sick, to provide education to the impoverished, even eliminate incarceration through better living, isn&#8217;t it about time we achieve the New Year&#8217;s Resolution to end all resolutions keeping it for all the New Years and generations ahead.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Together we can actually have a truly and lasting Happy New Year by our united resolve to make, accomplish and keep the only humane Resolution each of us as members of our global family ever needs; enact the WUF &#8211; enable permanent resolution.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Human ingenuity, invention and innovation resulting from the human creature’s singular ability to change their environment, for personal comfort, satisfaction and pleasure is everywhere and all around. This isn’t to say that ingenuity or invention has proven satisfactory, pleasurable or comfortable for all humans at the same time. Too often human innovation benefits a few while mostly harming a majority of people even as such outcomes may be unintentional as indicated by the following examples from Science &amp; Nature titled “10 Useful Inventions That Went Bad” July 19, 2009.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">“Fritz Haber was a Nobel Prize winning Jewish scientist who created cheap nitrogen fertilizer and also made chemical weapons for the German side in World War I. It was his creation of an insecticide mainly used as a fumigant in grain stores that was responsible for the deaths of an estimated 1.2 million people. His Zyklon B became the preferred method of execution in gas chambers during the Holocaust.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">Richard Jordan Gatling invented the Gatling gun after he noticed the majority of dead from the American Civil War died of illness, rather than gunshots. In 1877, he wrote: “It occurred to me that if I could invent a machine – a gun – which could by its rapidity of fire, enable one man to do as much battle duty as a hundred &#8211; that it would, to a large extent supersede the necessity of large armies, and consequently, exposure to battle and disease would be greatly diminished.” The Gatling gun was used most successfully to expand European colonial empires by ruthlessly mowing down native tribesmen armed with primitive weapons.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">Sir Marcus Laurence Elwin Oliphant was the first to discover heavy hydrogen nuclei could be made to react with each other. This fusion reaction is the basis of a hydrogen bomb. Ten years later, American scientist Edward Teller would press to use Oliphant’s discovery in order to build one. However, Oliphant did not foresee this – “We had no idea whatever that this would one day be applied to make hydrogen bombs. Our curiosity was just curiosity about the structure of the nucleus of the atom”.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The consistently popular belief as demonstrated on the current (December 2011) cover of Forbes magazine is that “Innovation Saves The World.”  The magazines content is almost exclusively about how innovation can drive global business and improve the quality of life for all and yet as business minds create evermore micro-funds in developing countries, charities and companies with the intent to solve the world’s oldest problems – it hasn’t actually happened and perhaps in its increasing escalating misery the world wonders why.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As human innovation persists and fails at trying to save the world, more than a cursory consideration of the unequal application of existing technologies &amp; innovation is needed for successful accomplishment. No debate exists as to every human’s basic needs for food clothing, shelter and health care, which by no coincidence- the lack of- are the world’s oldest problems.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Business minds who would actually save the world, or in other words, advancing humanity might begin by applying ingenuity and innovations towards the equal and free provision of basic necessities for all humans and greatly profit from an idea whose time has come to free the world from all its problems.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Applying the previously innovated Plan of the WUF can actually do what Forbes says innovation could do - <em>save the world. </em>Without it all we&#8217;ll have is more unintentional outcomes for the masses and a very dark history lesson.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Would anyone really object if the perfect government was established? In light of the ongoing multi-candidate trash-talking never-understanding and never unanimous elections, perhaps if the current candidates weren&#8217;t the ones actually elected then they might object- but that aside; what if we had the Perfect Government in place? Even one that in principles those running for office could also agree on; what would it require?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Try this on for size and see if it makes sense to you:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This &#8220;Perfect Government&#8221; would have but one purpose and one priority in which are incorporated all the laws that manage this government and cause it to function for the purpose for which it exists.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And that purpose for which it should exist is for the perpetual happiness of those whom it serves.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The perfect government is set up with 3 simple principles and laws. The first principle and law is that this government shall never be self-serving, or in other words, it shall never act in and of itself and of its own accord for the sake of its own existence.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This perfect government would be restricted in its power according to the restrictions that are necessary to ensure that it abides by this first principle and law.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This perfect government would serve those that benefit from its existence, and those who benefit from its existence are those who give it the power that it has received. And the power that it has received has been given to this government to serve those who have given it its power.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The second principle and law of this government would be that it will guarantee the freedom, or the free agency, of all those whom it serves. And this free agency that it guarantees, restricts those whom it serves from infringing on the free agency of another, or from having another infringe upon the free agency that each of those it serves possesses.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This government could not do anything that infringes upon the free agency of those whom<br />
it serves, except in defending the free agency of another from being infringed upon.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The third principle and law of this perfect government would be that it shall provide the means whereby those whom it serves may have an equal opportunity to experience the happiness that they desire. And because it was not the choice of those that it serves to exist, this government must provide those things that are necessary such as all the basic necessities of life, food, clothing, shelter, health care etc. to fulfill the measure and purpose of their existence, which purpose is their individual happiness.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Even though this could become the perfect principles of a ruling government in which it could provide the means whereby we might find perpetual peace and happiness for all generations to come, it cannot compel anyone to use those things which it has provided for to find the happiness that anyone might desire. If this government were to compel anyone of us in any of these things, then it would break the second law that governs it, by taking away our free agency.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Upon enacting instead of just dreaming about these three main principles and laws of a Perfect Government, which could control all aspects of life on earth, our lives would quickly become a lot simpler, a lot more peaceful and a whole lot more fun to live in.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These three principles and laws of a Perfect Government could exist to serve those whom have established this government; they could exist to assure the freedom of those whom this government serves and they could exist to provide equality for all those whom this government serves; if We The People so want them.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In contrast when our leaders depended on their own wisdom to come up with countless ways to obtain greater riches from the earth at anyone&#8217;s expense it cannot succeed simply due to the enemies it creates and must like all other forms of selfish imperfect governments before them, fail. History has hundreds if not thousands of governments long gone to prove this fact.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Setting up a system of law that serves a particular society, any society, and its desires, even the desire to get gain and hold on to this gain for the benefit of their residents, then having to use the treasures of the earth, I.e., with money, oil, gold and silver, they spend their resources buying up the means of force, and the means of justice and laws that all those whom it served would be subjected to through the governments and religions of men, and ultimately end up reigning with blood and unspeakable horrors upon the earth just to keep what they want and by exclusion, deny others from obtaining the same.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Simply put, all governments and constitutions and laws of the same, must support the principle of freedom in maintaining rights and privileges for all. And any law or constitution given by a government that guarantees these rights and privileges of freedom shall be supported and befriended by all as it pertains to the laws of man, for whatsoever is more or less than this, brings destruction and cannot provide perpetual peace and happiness  that all of us inherently seek for.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As the political comentaries and speaches flow year after year- ask which one of these candidates will last &#8211; which law will never be changed, which government will never fail, which principle provide truths we can all stand for and when will war permanently be over and peace finally prevail?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The answers are as simple as 1, 2, 3!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Sound familiar? A recent statement perhaps? Or perhaps it was coined during WWII in the 1940&#8242;s? Maybe it was earlier during WWI? Perhaps it was even earlier than that? After countless WAR&#8217;s, battles, skirmishes of so many kinds from centuries long past, surely it isn&#8217;t the first time they&#8217;ve been uttered by man<em>kind</em>. Undoubtedly as well, we&#8217;ll be hearing and reading those words, &#8220;The WAR to END all WARS&#8221; well throughout this century and into the next at least until war is finally ended or better still, no longer needed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We have the very weapon-of-mass-destruction anyone ever needs <em>to end all wars</em> finally and <em>for all,</em> today! Not at some future <em>unobtanium</em> futuristic dreamy type vantage point but today! This weapon is not actually a weapon at all, nor can it be used for destruction, unless it is not used or if you think of it as WAR being the only possible casualty, instead, it is a single <em>tool-of-mass-construction</em> crafted by a small handful of men on a little boat off the San Diego California harbor back in March of 2006. Today all that&#8217;s needed to implement this is quiet reflection and personal resolve, a few minutes to create a true life altering thought from each person initiates the process which will put a stop to the worlds most destructive actions and immediately begin making lasting peace a reality.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">War is completely unnecessary, it is not something we have to do but a choice we make to do. It is something wanted- not needed; we have alternative choices.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Not sure of the difference? Is water a necessity or a want? How about Air to breathe or food to eat? Necessity or want? Healthcare, necessity or want? Shelter, necessity or want? These; water, air, food = Necessity &#8211; Healthcare if no one ever get&#8217;s sick then it&#8217;s not wanted or needed but when you&#8217;re sick, it&#8217;s a necessity! Shelter- even a cave is a shelter- can&#8217;t survive long without protection from the elements- so we&#8217;ll throw in clothing too both those are necessities. How about a new car? Necessity or a want? It can be needed for transportation but thousands of years have gone before us without them so it must be a want. New TV? New House? New Clothes? Wants for some necessities for others but what about WAR? Necessity or want?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>War</strong> &#8211; Did we really have to spend a trillion dollars on a single war to hurt so many people on both sides of the table and is so long term destructive (like uranium bullets) to the planet? Is that a MUST DO? Or is it something we have agreed to and chose to do? What if we chose not to make enemies but to turn the other cheek and seek forgiveness instead?<br />
What if? It&#8217;s something to think about.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Life</strong> &#8211; What if we had instead spent a trillion dollars on a war to fight poverty and the injustices of the world, instead of killing unknown <em>enemies</em> because of a geographic location or perceived threat; couldn&#8217;t we have tried making friends instead?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If the USA had (Or will!) opened up its borders and welcomed everyone in who wanted to be fed, clothed, housed, cared for, healthy or not &#8211; have all their basic needs met while leaving their poverty and inequality behind them then those who wanted to stay behind and fight with one another could be left to themselves to do so.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This world does not have to be the way it is- it&#8217;s a choice people are continually making daily to accept and condone the way things are instead of personally deciding to make a change for the better, to not fight their neighbor &#8211; even to look upon their neighbor as their own kind- even as their own family, even as they themselves wish to be treated.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There is a WAR that&#8217;s not even a WAR at all, yet if begun in earnest could end ALL WAR; it&#8217;s simply the ability to <em><strong>eliminate Poverty-on a global scale</strong></em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Think it can&#8217;t be done today? If we didn&#8217;t have the technology or the resources to do so then it would be easy to laugh at the plan and scoff it away as foolish ignorance or another American futuristic <em>Dream</em> &#8211; but its not! We do have the means to make it happen, none can be found who can prove otherwise;  which leaves humanity without any excuse for the mess it&#8217;s finding itself in.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Two hundred years ago we couldn&#8217;t travel around the world in a handful of hours in various relatively comfortable means of travel; planes, trains, automobiles- yet today millions of people all over the planet do it daily, oh yes, and the last few decades have brought us rocket ships bouncing back and forth to outer space, to the moon and beyond! Can you seriously think for a moment we just don&#8217;t have the brains to be able to come up with a solution to fix the problems of the world? &#8211; Well fortunately a few on that boat did!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Funny thing about this WAR on poverty vs. the WAR on people- it doesn&#8217;t cost anyone anything, no lives are lost, it requires no bullets to enforce, no borders to protect, no one needs to be killed or placed in prison to put it into action. If we want a better world and are tired of the way things are- <em>We The People</em> can change things- the <a title="The Plan to end Poverty and Inequality begins in Chapter 18." href="http://marvelousworkandawonder.com/HRBook3D" target="_blank">PLAN</a> is so very simple. It uses the very same types of funny money that&#8217;s been pulled out of thin air, then printed and virtualized to make the last trillion dollar WAR financially possible- only without all the complicated disasters of people being wounded or dying from it or fiscal economies flip-flopping all over the deck gasping for air; its accomplished by controlling inflation on a global scale, by implementing an <strong>International Anti-Inflation Law</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It&#8217;s being reported a lot lately that technology is such a wonderful thing in how it makes life so much easier (for those who have the money to afford such luxuries) yet if it works for the wealthy it would work for the poor. The &#8220;Cost&#8221; of Technology is not a legitimate excuse for continuing to perpetuate poverty and inequality.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If we are ever to Advance our Humanity to a <em><strong>true</strong></em> and &#8217;Modern age&#8217; where death and destruction, poverty and inequality, hunger, hopelessness, ignorance and want are actually eliminated, then we must do so with finding legitimate problems that we haven&#8217;t been able to solve and solving them&#8230; And when Answers are found that will work &#8211; to implement them!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When <em>We The People</em> have the answers and the very solutions needed before us, yet choose to deny or ignore them by putting our head in the sand, by pretending it doesn&#8217;t exist or saying it&#8217;s a stupid plan, or, it just can&#8217;t be done, all without real evidence; failing to see the answer WILL work, we are not using our humanity, we, become the very instigators of WAR, choosing instead to bury rather than to build.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">President Obama, and those like him who continually perpetuate war on political levels, the &#8220;WAR&#8221; will not be over- it will be moved to a different location. Death, destruction, hopelessness, despair, poverty, inequality are the continued choices made by leadership elected and those wanting to be elected officials; it doesn&#8217;t have to be this way.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">People of the world, elect people who represent your neighbor the way you want perople to represent you! Elect yourself to be the ruler of your universe and allow all all of humanity the same privledge &#8211; respect them as you should yourself and ask yourself&#8230;Who is my neighbor??? The answer of course is simple enough a child can answer; Everyone.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Stating the obvious; ninety-nine is one short of a hundred. Children as well as mathmaticians would agree that one is vital to completion of the sum. One percent can&#8217;t make it work and ninety-nine percent falls short; <em>ALL</em> one-hundred are needed to complete the sum.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Referring to the &#8217;99%&#8217; the economy protesters from around the world, those who are feeling fleeced, are beginning to see and use that number to signify the majority of the people who are suffering because of current leadership / economic policies favoring the supposed fleecing being done by the remaining &#8217;1%&#8217;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">An author who wrote a book in 2006 put it this way;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">“For every one person who can claim success in reaching the standard of accepted self-awareness and prosperity, ninety-nine others suffer from the means used to achieve this prosperity without the ability to attain it for themselves. In the race to be counted of worth in a world of values and standards set to benefit those who set them, no notice is given to the devastating effects of the contest.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">‘Freedom’ is an abstract idea perpetuated by those in power over others. Evident forced slavery has simply been replaced with tacit slavery. Rising to the sound of a rooster’s crow to harness the mule to the plow has been replaced with the obtrusive sound of an alarm clock that signals the beginning of another enslaved day. In both types of slavery, the wise ones are forced to work or they will die. The former was provided food, clothing, and shelter; the latter is given a piece of paper that must be exchanged for commodities owned by another slave owner.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">The slave’s desire to live enriches the landowner for whom he or she works, and also the merchant from whom he or she must purchase life. The former was forced into chains if work and rules were not completed as established by the master; the latter is locked in a jail cell for the same reasons. Neither chose to be born into slavery; each would have rather been born the child of a slave owner: one who never saw the butt end of a mule pulling a harrow, or the other who will never hear the sound of a time punch-clock.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">Though modern owners do not outwardly display their employees as personal human property, the slave trade has transformed itself into a shared commodity of the corporations and wealthy of the world. Within the commercial organizations that buy and sell goods, make products, and provide services, there exists a proprietary implication that if a slave refuses to work for one business, in order to remain alive, the rebellious runaway must submit to another. By running away from one plantation, the need to eat, and be clothed and housed necessitates the acceptance of another.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">Chained ignorantly without lock or key, the writing on the wall has little affect on the minds of the wise ones who see themselves as individual and equal human beings instead of slaves. Thus, have they been convinced and deceived. The very essence of their innate human nature disallows the possibility that they can be controlled. They are convinced that it is possible that one day they, too, might own a business and have others work for them, forgetting their immediate state of enslavement by the illusory daydream of financial freedom and wealth.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">Day after day, their minds are gratified and lulled into a tempered calm as they toil in the fields, cubicles, or other employment they do not enjoy but have chosen by force. The “Dream” satisfies their inner conflict by convincing them that it is possible to become a landowner; hence, they are indeed equal to their masters who were once enslaved like them.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">The wise ones are not isolated to being slaves to the rich and powerful, but have also become indentured to their own desire to become a master. “Getting ahead in the world” has become the model of individuality. It becomes easier for them to alienate their minds from the conditions of poverty and destitution required at the bottom of the corporate chain, because of the image in their minds of future success and the opportunity to jump from the ninety-nine percent to the one percent.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">The wise ones have become desensitized, and pay no attention to human history that has paved a path of awareness to the place where the thin thread hangs, and demonstrates that the set percentages have never changed, and never will—one wise one on top needs ninety-nine others below in order to keep them buoyed up on the sea of humanity.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">Many of the ninety-nine die with little notice or fanfare, and are soon replaced by other unknown faces, struggling to stay alive, and hoping to one day reach the top. The ones pay no attention to the loss of faceless individuals they knew nothing about. Clothed in robes of excess and prosperity, they find no relevance in any matter outside the walls of their personal kingdom of gratification and family. The robes by which they are clothed came at a price—the cost of other human beings whose every breath stitched the woven threads of their contrived tapestries.”  (<a title="Mark of America..." href="http://marvelousworkandawonder.com/666/index.htm" target="_blank">pgs. 38-40</a>)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">How wonderful it would be if people would not think of their neighbor as a commodity or competitor or someone to distrust or someone trying to hurt them or to be fought against. Instead to discover by helping their neighbor, even the very least among us, they, we, are really doing nothing more than helping ourselves and all of mankind. Conversely the same is also true; when we fail to do these things we do nothing to help ourselves or to help mankind as a sum.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When <em>We The People</em> finally see the  great <em>evil </em>of the current economic system and spend  energy getting it changed to benefit <em>All</em> instead of seeking to satisfy just our own immediate wants or needs, not worrying about what others are doing that may be contrary to their own happiness, people would begin to experience the true value of our own Human Resources and the Joy that comes from being one with all; <strong>one of the hundred</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There is only one human organization that has ever been founded on the premise of worldwide equality and the guarantee of food, shelter, clothing, and health care to all Humanity. This organization has the proper formula needed to succeed: It is The Worldwide United Foundation (wwunited.org).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This united effort is the last chance for all of us to stop human<em>kind&#8217;s</em> decline and spiral into further chaos, turmoil, and emotional and physical destruction. United, the people of the earth can solve our own problems and reinstate the preamble of our existence: We are free-willed beings with the ability to reason and use our free agency to establish our own individuality.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A parable given to shepherds reads&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doesn&#8217;t leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he&#8217;s found it, he lay it on his shoulders, rejoicing! And when he comes home, he called together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Likewise will all our joy be when <em>no one </em>is lost nor separated nor forgotten nor cold nor without food, clothing, shelter, sick or afflicted, ignorant nor imprisoned, but when we see each <em>one</em>, as sheep of the same human galactic fold, flocked together with one purpose in mind, to be free, rejoicing to be and do what makes us happy while being united as one of the ever equal ever important, <strong>one of the hundred</strong>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">We&#8217;ve been hearing it for generations now&#8230; <em>One day, I&#8217;d like to see World Peace</em>, or, <em>I&#8217;d like to see World Peace for just one day </em>along with countless derivatives of a similar nature. There are copious websites out there seeking similar sentiments, one of which is <a title="Peace One Day" href="http://www.peaceoneday.org" target="_blank">PeaceOneDay.org</a> it&#8217;s a website with lots of information about their now annual efforts to mark 21 September, as an International day of peace; &#8220;a day for wide-scale community action, and a day for UN agencies and aid organisations to safely carry out life-saving work.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It appears they have met their goal for a few years now- they have Concerts for peace, Films for peace, Education for peace, Celebrities for peace, Patrons, Corporate Sponsors and the list goes on. They are not the first, they won&#8217;t be the last.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Many websites like these exist all over the internet and have for a decade or more with many charities of every variety for dozens of years while some have even been around for more than 100 years! What is it they seem to be missing and why have we not obtained World Peace? Maybe it&#8217;s not really their goal because they would be out of a job? Or is it that their goal is to only have peace one day a year? We&#8217;d all like to give them more credit than that and with original intentions known or not, using our common sense we can ask ourselves;  Why would anyone settle for <em>Peace One Day</em> in any given year, which means a lack of peace for the other 364 days, when Peace should exist every day of every year?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Without an actual workable plan on how to accomplish such a lofty goal as World Peace, how can anyone possibly succeed?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If <a title="The Plan to end Poverty and Inequality begins in Chapter 18." href="http://marvelousworkandawonder.com/HRBook3D" target="_blank">the Plan</a> of the Worldwide United Foundation did not exist, it might be very difficult to filter out one charitable type group from another as they are all similar shades of Gray. Differences can be subtle or they can be dramatic in what they outwardly are trying to accomplish. No need to dive in and try to judge peoples intents i.e. if they are doing something for personal value/accolades or sincerely giving all to obtain that accomplishment as that does not matter to the poor and starving people of the world; only results will. As these different charitable type entities exist today; they are many &#8211; they are all similarly divided into different groups of supporters and others who think differently. All have this in common: They are trying to accomplish their own agendas and goals none of which have accomplished True and Lasting World Peace.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Stated on the PeaceOneDay.org&#8217;s lengthy partner supporters page is a comment that expresses the problem:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;"> &#8221;We are incredibly grateful to the following organisations for supporting Peace One Day, without whom our work would not be possible:&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What followed is a list of well known supporter companies and even individual patrons whose names may be completely unknown to the general populace. Yet in all they have, all they are striving for, they, like the United Nations, like UNICEF, like ONE.org, like Doctors without borders, and a legion of other &#8220;supporters&#8221;, <em>lack the most important piece of peace</em>; <strong>the solution</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Human beings will not simply stop fighting for what they believe in&#8230; <em>Unless</em> they themselves change their own beliefs to something else worth fighting for or better yet, something that requires no fighting for at all. World Peace for the masses is something of a World Dream- It&#8217;s something we all want inside we all know is actually possible and it is something we can universally dream about each in our own way - yet, when each of us wakes up to the current reality of the mess we&#8217;re in or the starving children sitting next to you or the war going on right in front of you, it stays only as a fleeting dream and not much of a lasting reality.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We can ask ourselves; what are we as human beings willing to do to create World Peace? The answer is quite simple, use a child as an example; if they get what they want, then they will believe they have fought and won whatever it is they were wanting to have or had believed they had a right to, to begin with and were deprived of or had taken away from them.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To guarantee World Peace do we really expect everyone to just stop fighting because  scattered groups of people want us to? Do we honestly think we can convince others to lay down their arms and no longer fight for what they believe they were fighting for? Do we honestly think if we asked them to, that they would expect us to do the same and yet not completely distrust the entire action along the way? Of course they would&#8230; <em>Unless</em> they had developed a personal trust in those making the request. Trust an enemy? How could that happen?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Could anyone convict anyone else of stealing an apple if there was no law against stealing basic foodstuffs? If food and fresh water were always available to every man, woman and child on our planet &#8211; who could steal it and sell it if it&#8217;s free to begin with? Crimes like these would all cease to exist.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Would a person rob or steal from someone else to pay for a Doctors care for their sick child if Medicine, Hospitals and the <em>Best</em> Dr&#8217;s healthcare were paid for &#8211; free for all mankind and available? That crime is not going to happen &#8211; more crime eliminated and more Peace would prevail.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Would a person be out on the street, hungry, helpless, struggling barley dressed if Food, Clothing Shelter and Health care were available to people free without charge? Again no, these types of crimes would become non-existent and more World Peace would prevail.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Wouldn&#8217;t there be less people convicted of these senseless crimes if laws were rewritten to ensure people had these basic Human rights?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The underlying cause of Non-World Peace is simply, Poverty. Abolish Poverty and we&#8217;ll all see Peace. If Poverty continues Peace will never last.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Plan of the Worldwide United foundation gives us the solution organizations such as those mentioned earlier and all other charities all aide foundations all religions, the entire world has missed! The simplest solution to lasting World Peace; <em>Provide the basic necessities of life&#8230; to all mankind&#8230; for free</em>! It&#8217;s not that hard! In fact it&#8217;s the simplest answer to the seemingly unanswerable problem.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We have the financial printing machine already in place, Capitalism is already well entrenched in societies around the world- we simply need an international throttling mechanism known as the International Anti-Inflation Law; the key part of the Plan that will stabilize the global financial markets and allow money to be spread throughout the world.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">From there we can use the other programs much of which are already in place such as militaries that cross the globe assisting people who are fighting just to stay alive!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Politicians Unite! &#8211; This time in your campaigns for Election or reelection, stand on a solid platform &#8211; stand on a Worldwide United Foundation and declare PEACE through Implementation of the Plan to save our Humanity, abolish poverty and build our global equality. Currently, only you have the power to set this &#8221;life-saving work&#8221; into a perpetual and unending existence.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">World Peace or Peace One Day; it&#8217;s within our global politician&#8217;s powers to make the difference last or repeatedly fail based on what they will choose to do or choose not do for the rest of us.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>No World Poverty - Know World Peace<br />
No World Peace &#8211; Know Poverty</strong></p>
