Global Stewardship Corp

[Magnet Man]

I saw a planet
under creative management
able to sustain
exponential growth
with endless multitudes of people
applying their genius
generation after generation
to use less and less ground space
to provide more and more air space
Stewards and Stewardesses
of the Globe
graduated from our Teens
rebuilding Eden
as a cultured pearl
earning the Key of Majority
able to seed planets amore

Nice post MM. I have been to alot of forums and see really brilliant people on them but I have to say it seems that all anyone really wants to do is talk. There should be some way to get them all together and actually do something. How would you propose to recruit people to get them to sign up for this? Is this an established program?

We have a non-profit Global Stewardship Foundation incorporated in the State of Nevada.

The Foundation owns a forty acre property, with a large ranch house and all facilities, butting onto on the border of California, near the town of Bishop in the Sierra Nevadas.

Our plan is to establish a global stewardship training institute on our property.

Via public donations we would like to offer free training in large scale planet management concepts in education, agriculture, housing and energy, to students from around the world.

We have started building a residency for prospective global stewardship teachers. As soon as that is complete, (2008) we will seek out prospective teachers and begin theoretical training. We will then start the campaign to raise the necessary funds so that a viable campus complete with technical facilities and accommodation will be available for the students. With enough public support we can begin training by 2010.

Graduate students will be assigned global stewardship projects around the world.

We already have an impovished Kingdom in western Uganda, waiting for our first large-scale national make-over.

Curiosity, how are you proposing to lure people to your global corp? And is Africa your first target because the white man has a long standing obligation to make amends for all that they've done there?

Wow TD, that's a loaded statement, what do you mean the white man has alot of make up for because of all that it has done in Africa? I think this could be a whole new thread....explain yourself please! ;-)

Well, white man has done a lot of things in the world that a lot ain't happy with. Slavery is one of them. Here in America, though it isn't neccesarily spoken of, there is the feeling of an undercurrent of unpaid debts. And in Africa (as in other places) Africans weren't just enslaved. During colonization, large amounts of population were displaced when they inconvenienced the white man.

This being a new thread, though, I don't know. I'd check it out if it were to come to be, though with my limited knowledge I don't know what I could offer.

Reperations for everything every race has done wouldn't solve anything. The best thing to do is accept the past as it was and move on. Besides, all those people who suffered aren't here anymore, so how can we heal dead wounds?

The past is always alive
It sustains the present
and reveals the future

Its wounds fester
and will kill if not attended.

That poem doesn't proove that the past is alive. Please ellaborate. I'd like to know why you think this way.

Ancestral worship in Africa is really important; wounds to their ancestors are wounds to their pride… Whether it is rational to hold these grudges and not move on like you say is a good argument, but our culture owes it to our fellow race to provide amends and good will first. We have indeed used them unfairly in the past, and generally, our interference in their culture is yet to be a positive one.
One the flip side, blacks all over the world, need to (and of course many are already) try to move on from these trespasses, and we must all try to integrate, and end racial discrimination in its entirety.
