savethehumanrace.org
is an open dialogue dedicated to developing ideas and strategies for social
and economic reform.
Over the past century we have witnessed
incredible advances in our knowledge of science and technology. Yet for
all these advances millions upon millions of people worldwide continue
to suffer from starvation, homelessness, and oppression. We continue to
release toxic chemicals into our air, water, and land although we know
we cannot survive without the elements they provide us with. Too many
people seem intent on enhancing what they see as their position among
men and their personal lifestyles at the expense of the rest of mankind.
Is it just me or is there something wrong with this picture?
This is not to say that there is nothing good
occurring in the world. In fact there are many wonderful people and
organizations out there dedicated to helping others and protecting the
ecosystems we depend on for our survival. And it's not that people are
necessarily aware that the actions they take may result in causing great
distress to others. Or that anyone recognizes the possible long term
effects on the environment produced through new technologies.
Perhaps the concern here is not that
there are people who are unaware or fail to recognize these
consequences, but that there are too many people who either don't care
or don't feel as if they have any ability or power to change the
situation. If man is ever to realize his full potential and that of his
creations, then his societies and his concepts of economics will need to
evolve along a higher level of ethics.
The challenge is to see past all the political
and corporate agendas, and promote the basic needs and respect all
people deserve for a healthy and fulfilling life. This is not a task for
a single individual to dictate, but a monumental effort to bring people
of every background and culture together to help create the future we
all deserve today. The more of us that are involved in this effort, the
more significant the results that are produced will be.
To that end, we open this site to anyone and
everyone to bring forth their concerns, ideas, and strategies they feel
need addressing in creating a world filled with peace and abundance for
all. If all you wish to do is complain, degrade, and lay blame, please
take some time to reconsider and find a more constructive way to express
your concerns. There are many problems in the world, but it is not our
place to lay blame, merely to find solutions.
Send your comments, concerns, and ideas through our
Feedback Form;
as long as they contain nothing hateful,
destructive, or violent in them; and we will post them for discussion on
our
Forum Page
link. The
intelligence, creativity, and innovative capacities of the great wealth
of common people that exist on this planet far exceeds that of any
government or corporation ever conceived of. And the only outside
influences we have to take into account are our families and friends and
their well being.
In addition, we present a page of
Site Links,
from our own research and your suggestions, of sites that are compatible
with creating a better world for all. And last but not least we present The Art of
Survival,
a philosophy of sustainable
economics, which led to the creation of
this site.
"Unless someone like you
cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to get better. It's
not." -
