Authority

About the Book

I admire and applaud the brave crusaders who try to influence, through protests people with authority. Environmental groups such as the David Suzuki Foundation, Green Peace, The Nature Conservancy and social justice groups namely the Occupy Movement bravely struggle to influence authority. These are the true heroes in our society. Numerous excellent documentaries, like Leonardo Dicaprio’s ‘The Eleventh Hour’ and Al Gore’s ‘An Inconvenient Truth,’ point out what will happen to our biosphere if we don’t change course. However, when push comes to shove it’s all very well to be informed about a problem but in today’s world being informed is a useless exercise because individuals have no authority to do anything about it. My thesis offers a possible solution by empowering individuals giving them full citizenship, responsibility, and ownership in these problems. This authority would empower citizens to exercise their authority by demanding truth and expelling ineffectiveness. Perhaps you’ve, watched such documentaries, read books or attended lectures about our ancestors to gain a tiny understanding of what it would be like to live in a world where there is no law against manslaughter, nonconsensual sex or genocide. It’s not hard to believe that the most dangerous, cunning and cruel creature on the planet is not the shark but mankind. Some say we are nature’s knives, put here to reduce the number of species on the planet. We are not only the most dangerous predator on the planet, but also the only predator of our own species. Our very success has come from this complicated survival strategy of killing our fellow man (murder) and having non-consensual sex (rape) to select the most intelligent beauties to reproduce. It’s quite natural for the Serbian soldiers to kill the men of a village then lock up the women to be used as sex slaves. Such practices were common for great warriors such as the Ottomans, Genghis Khan and the standard among ancient as well as modern aggressors. The best incentive to fight hard was the sex at the end of the battle. Our political system is our only defense against our potential malevolence. Politics gives us rules protecting ourselves from ourselves. At the beginning of the third millennia the beautiful intelligent people who occupy the biosphere of this planet, the end product of thousands of generations of manslaughter and nonconsensual sex, are responsible for maintaining this law and order. We know if we work together we can save the biosphere and in so doing save thousands of future generations of our own species. The solution to a stable world is inevitable. Are you ready?

About the Author

He has experienced the effects of a rapidly changing environment and watching helplessly as his fellow men, ruled by man made economics, have slowly consumed the best part of our world. A good boy scout always leaves his camp in better shape than when he arrives. Believing in the Boy Scout motto, with perhaps a decade of life left he leaves his observations and hopes for a better world. Growing up on Vancouver Island, working in health care, exploring the world by land and sea his brutal observations may come as a shock to those who have cloistered themselves into our opulent world. Time is the essence of all things and this is the time baby boomers should put some effort into leaving this planet better than when we arrived.
