Dear fellow Evolvers, with the recent developments in the Middle East, and in the rest of the world, in mind, I just created this petition http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/we-demand-real-democracy.html - please sign it with me if you agree!!

I know that there are a lot of problems with democracy, and many so called democratic societies are not really democratic. For this reason I wrote that the demand is for real democracy, based on the Declaration of Human Rights. And - democracy is still better than tyranny... On Go Petition one can also leave a comment with one's signature - I hope for good discussions and exchange of ideas to come out of this =)

PETITION:
"I, citizen of the world, demand that real democracy based on the Declaration of Human Rights should be implemented in the nation in I which live, as well as in all nations around the world. I demand that this process start immediately, and that it should be done as quickly as possible."

DESCRIPTION:
I believe that a society functions best when all of its citizens feel safe, and free. I believe that this is best achieved in a truly democratic society with laws based on the Declaration of Human Rights. There might be a better system, but I believe that the best way to find that out is for all of us to be safe and free enough to discuss this.

If you believe the same, please sign this petition - no matter where in the world you live. One of our main resources is the human resource. Lets together tell the leaders of the world that we want societies in which we can harvest this resource in the best way possible.

If you have a suggestion on how democracy can work better, in the world and/or in your country - use the comment field and add your thoughts. If the space there is not enough - write a blog or similar, and post a link in the comment field.

Please note that GoPetition.com save your IP address when you sign- they do inform clearly about this and have a good privacy policy. Nevertheless, be aware of this - no one can guarantee 100% internet security.

SO MUCH LOVE, to all of you!!

“If the diction is not

Absalom — Apr 01, 2011

“If the diction is not correct, then what is said is not what is meant; if what is said is not what is meant, then what must be done will remain and be left undone; if what must be done remains undone, then all morals and art and science will deteriorate; and then justice will go astray and the people will be left to stand about in a state of helpless confusion. Hence, it is paramount that there must be no arbitrariness in what is said. This matters above all else.” – Confucius

Okay so when you're asking for "democracy" and your asking for exactly what you're getting. You can't ask the king to build your kingdom for you.

Agreed =)! I'd like all

Agreed =)!

I'd like all people of the world to get to build the world themselves. I think we can govern ourselves, but we need to talk to each other first, and at this time, so many people cant even participate in the conversation. Maybe if more people would have some basic civil liberties, we can figure out better systems than democracy - together.

Maybe our sisters and brothers in the Middle East can teach us something about real democracy btw. So many of the states which call themselves democracies based on the Declaration of Human Rights are nothing of the sort. I have strong belief in the young (most of the revolutionaries are young), strong people I see fighting for liberty in the Middle East every day. I mainly wrote this petition with them in mind...

Thanks for the video, very interesting!

When 20% of the world's population controls and consumes 80% of the
world's resources and 80% of the population has to compete for the 20% left... well,,, that is a recipe for chaos, corruption, famine, etc, etc, etc...

The way we can tame all this turmoil is by being fair, honest, honorus, etc... there is no magic formula... it takes hard work.
The things that we do, we have to do them with integrity, small steps...

much love to you too

Taking the petition down soon....

Susan Florries — Apr 28, 2011

This initiative has awakened discussions, more than one can see here, and that is just great. But this petition wont take off - that has become clear to me.

I have learned very much. Most importantly in this context, I have learned that this might not the best way - why should some people demand democracy in the whole world, maybe some countries/cultures does not want democracy as people understand it today?

I had hoped for more of a discussion on what "power to the people" really means, and that this petition would inspire talks about democracy as a concept. For me, it was all the time more about people to get to have a say in how their country is run - not necessarily making a "Western" type of democracy everywhere. But many people have understood it differently, and to inspire thought exchanges, I should have formulated the petition in another way. It was, it seems, too much of a spur of the moment kind of thing. Still it feels great to have done it.

One thing I got reminded of, is that it feels much better to set an action, "fail" and thus evolve, than to not set actions at all. This has inspired me much, and I feel more decided than ever to go on setting more actions from this point.

I wish you all the best with the actions that you set in your lives, and THANK YOU for your support and great feed back!

Peace

And so it was revealed to me, that god is not a male person at all, verily she is not even a grownup. The goddess of goddesses is a little girl, so small indeed, she does not grow a single hair between her holy and virginal legs...

So we do...

After much thought I've decided to let this stand

Susan Florries — Jun 28, 2011

Whatever, I decided to let this petition stand as it is online... If anyone wants to add thoughts, they can do so =)

And - it seems to be in the air now anyhow - wonderful!
