George, you would be much more convincing if you gave a brief outline of your ideas without expecting us to delve deeply into your website first.
Just to be contentious, I will give you a thought that is all-pervading with many of us. No matter how good your ideas, few if any of them will be achievable without first reforming the all-controlling and outdated present financual system.
But thanks. I will certainly search your sites when time permits. I do hope they include the Swiss system of binding citizen-initiated referenda.
Regards.
John R.

Subject: [socialcredit] A Democratic Socioeconomic Platform
Fellow Passengers,
It is good that you folks resurrected the discussion of Social Credit. I have now learned even more about that Engineer's ideas, and their relationship to other ideas of equal or lesser value.
Nevertheless.... I am assuming that no one here thinks anyone's ideas are the be-all and end-all of anything, most certainly not in the realm of psychopoliticosocioeconomics. Most certainly not this writer. I offer the following for your thoughtful consideration, keeping in mind that all that needless suffering out there really hurts.

The purpose of this communication is to present to you the following Democratic Socioeconomic Platform.
The purpose of this Democratic Socioeconomic Platform is to put forth a new, fundamentally just, democratic and systemically consistent political platform capable of, if implemented, satisfactorily resolving or significantly reducing a wide variety of contemporary serious societal problems, as well as effectively enhancing the General Welfare of All Citizens of a Democratic Society.
This Democratic Socioeconomic Platform (DSeP) is being respectfully submitted to all participants in, and/or affected by, the present local and global politico-socioeconomic systems and processes, as well as all political parties (presently “democratic” or otherwise), scattered about the global carnage, outrage and desperation, frantically attempting to “organize” all these puzzling political processes and puzzled potential participants.
Socioeconomic Democracy (SeD), which is the essence of the proposed DSeP, can be viewed as engaging in (among other things) Transformational Politics, that is, an evolutionary politics that consciously, openly, honestly, forthrightly, publicly, thoughtfully and successfully works to realize synergetic and significant inclusive societal improvement. It will be seen that SeD contributes significantly to the Positive Empowerment and Healthy Development of all participants of a democratic society.
A convenient, Political Convention-ready presentation of this Democratic Socioeconomic Platform is now online at the PelicanWeb. You are cordially invited to consider its suggestions.
Part 1 of this two-part DSeP is introduced in the July 08 issue of Solidarity, Sustainabilty, and Nonviolence online at:
<http://pelicanweb.org/solisustv04n07.html>
and the DSeP itself may be viewed at:
<http://pelicanweb.org/solisustv04n07george1.html>
Part 2 of the DSeP will appear in the August issue of the SSNV newsletter.
An earlier draft of the essentials of Part 2 may be seen under "Ramifications" at:
<http://www.centersds.com/briefintro.htm>
A recent article, “Socioeconomic Democracy and Sustainable Development” is available at:
<http://pelicanweb.org/solisustv03n12george.html>
as well as at:
<http://www.development4all.org/frameset-4.html>
It is anticipated that considerable developments in this DSeP, ranging from further theoretical and applied research to practical implementations, will soon result; these developments will be followed and made available as appropriate and in convenient ways.
We seek serious discussion and wide exposure of the ideas and possibilities of this DSeP. Collaborative proposals and opportunities are welcome and will be given serious consideration. For the time being, all correspondence regarding this project may be addressed to the undersigned.
As mentioned, this Democratic Socioeconomic Platform is presented in two parts. The contents are as follows:
PART I – DEMOCRATIC SYSTEMS
