Dear Robert, Complementing the sustainability concerns and other raised in the mail of Marguerite , I would like to request to think further on post perto-modern age..
I hope you understand..
Dear Marguerite..
While agreeing with the distress narrations,,I do not agree with your understanding of Islamic societies ..as you have indulged in homologation for religion and religious systems based on the understanding the 'hierarchical church'...
If you read the Quran, you will find that those who believe need to exhort each other for judgements based on the standards of "piety" only..
The book as is there on the link of library at www.witness-pioneer.org

Dear Marguerite,
I agree with alot of your sentiments. I
cannot answer in detail at the moment. However, you
might like to visit the Venus Project. com in which
advanced technology can be human, and eco-friendly.
You will be pleased to know that it does not believe
in the necessity of money,or competative capitalism as
we understand it today. I regard Transfinancial
Economics as A TRANSITIONAL SYSTEM to such advanced
forms of social, economic, and political interaction.
This is something I do not think you full understand.
I am hoping you might write an entry on Wikipedia
about Holodynamics presenting all the key aspects in a
short but easy to read form without sacrificing the
major, and minor of the subject (plus key terms). You
will be doing all of us benefit.
