[GJM] POSITIVE ACTIVISM, AND MONETARY REFORM

[robert searle]

Dear Marguerite Hampton,

             I am well aware of gaian democracy.
However, there are ofcourse other enlightening models
for social, economic, and political change all of
which are basically very similiar. New wine in old
bottles.

I wish you would write an entry for Wikipedia on
Holodynamics as there is a special spot reserved for
it. If you can express it all in a few paragraph plus
the basic terminologies you would be doing everyone a
favour. 


Robert Searle.
