As problems are
brought to the attention of centers...
And
volunteers.
Any
ideas, opinions, problems and solutions should be shared and discussed...
With all Community
Centers,
Around the world.
In this way, the
best possible solutions to problems can be...
Combined... Introduced... And put into
practice anywhere.
"Men, women and children made problems...
Have, men, women and children...
Created Solutions."

IDENTIFYING the BASICS
the
NECESSITIES OF LIFE
Anything that you
need to live a pleasant...
Comfortable,
earth-friendly, pollution free, lifestyle...
Should be
considered a necessity of life.
Any of the
necessities of life that you might be missing...
Should be entered
into your neighborhood...
Community Center
filing system.
Using the local
network of centers...
Assistance,
material goods and services...
Can be gathered
together...
To be shared
individually in your neighborhood...
Or globally using
Regional and Continental Community Centers.
The
necessities of life should be built, shared and delivered...
To those who are in
need...
And to any other
Community Centers to distribute to
the people in their area.
The how's to do
this... Will take courageous...
Far-sighted individuals...
With
a positive world vision.
New changes in
basic thinking will be needed.
These changes will
take heroic courage...
Great effort...
And daily work and
love by all earth's citizens.
This courage, in
combination with an enlightened global and cosmic acceptance of all...
And a "live and let
live" attitude...
Can
create a more harmonious planet for all.
The why's behind
a need for sharing are evident in the daily...
( Bad ) News from around the world.
It is not
necessary to do... Yet another exaggerated...
Intensive,
expensive study or evaluation of most problems.
This evaluation
process serves only to prolong...
Taking simple... Common sense
actions... Necessary to
solve problems.
Page 63
We should begin to
evolve through...
Love
and Action.
Using neighborhood
and world education systems, connecting at centers.
We
can learn from our
past mistakes and move forward.
Earth citizens will be able to count on each other...
And be self
reliant, through action, in their daily lives, in their Community.
If there is a
dispute over the basic operation...
Of a
Community Center...
Ideas for helping
people or more than one person vying for elected office...
Instead of debating
continuously about who is right or wrong...
Initiate both people, all plans and ideas and see how they work out.
Maybe they can work
for the benefit of various people and problems in different ways.
Ideas that
work, will flourish and the ideas that don't, will fade away.
Using this formula
the need for lawyers...
And paper shufflers,
continuously disputing ideas...
Promoting studies,
and debating issues...
That do not produce
any real work...
Or usable product.
Can be reduced or
eliminated completely.
A Global Network of Community Centers...
Is only a common
sense plan... For the human race to progress...
Towards a better
future for all human beings...
Rather than waiting
for non existent...
Immediate, perfect, utopian answers.
The following... below
Is a guide to the necessities of life.
Earth citizens should include their needs and ideas...
To this listing... At their local Community Centers, web site.
Page 64
FOOD
The basic right to nutritious foods for all earth citizens
Is one of the
primary goals of all Community Centers.
This should include
education...
And equipment
needed to grow, preserve, transport, store, prepare, and serve foods.
This education
should be shared...
Not only locally,
between neighbors...
But also
globally... On a neighborly
scale... Around the planet.
Food growing on
the local community level should be started...
Immediately, around the world.
Food growing using
hydroponics...
And local community gardens... Should be started.
Gardens set up in
parks, in and around homes...
On roof tops, in
and around schools, universities...
And on areas of
land specifically designated for the purpose of...
Ending local and
world hunger.
Can now begin...
Earth
Citizens who
have any of the needed education to fulfill these goals...
Should share with all
their fellow men and women...
His or her
knowledge, as a Community Center volunteer.
This knowledge and
the growing of food should be a part of all school systems.
Sharing education
about food, individuals can begin to produce...
Some of their own
basic food needs...
In or around their
own living space...
Or they can combine
their efforts working at community garden centers.
Education should
also include ways to prepare the soil...
Using non chemical
fertilizers, and natural erosion control methods.
WE should set up
nutrition, education programs...
And have
community food serving kitchens...
Available in
every community.
Page 65
These programs should be for anyone...
Who is without food...
And for people who enjoy eating together.
These kitchens
should also deliver meals to people...
In their homes,
when needed.
New ways should
also be found that promote positive eating habits...
And ideas to
discourage the consumption of junk food...
That has no
nutritional value to the human body.
And...
We should eliminate
outrageous advertising practices...
That encourage and
push children towards junk food.
That have
little or no nutritional content and contain chemicals.
Combining community
work and knowledge about foods can lead to an areas ability...
To buy and grow
food in larger quantities...
Contributing to
lower food costs.
The results from
lower food costs will lead to better physical...
Emotional and
spiritual health...
Thereby, strengthening...
The individuals, the community and all of humanity.
Local family farms,
farm cooperatives and new local neighborhood food growing centers...
Should be started,
protected and saved around the world.
New community
gardens and farms should use volunteer help to plant and gather crops.
Planting and
harvesting should be accompanied by celebration...
Dance gatherings
for everyone.
Farms in the
city or in the country and farm work should encourage a pleasant...
Sharing
lifestyle...
With a decent
income for farm workers...
Or the
necessities of life... As payment for
work performed.
Farms should be
the center of a community or neighborhood.
Page 66
In
the beginning, some of the land around the gardens
Can be used to
house volunteers...
Who help with the
planting, harvesting and care of the crops.
These dwellings
should be tucked into the landscape...
Maintained and used
as permanent homes...
Thus sharing the
extended world community...
Family farmland.
Once we begin to
accomplish these goals...
We can then make
nutritional education...
And distribution of
food supplies, a global priority.
This will further
insure that future generations will be able to... Survive and
prosper...
Understanding the
importance of sharing their own...
And all earth's
resources with one another.
People need to feed
their heart and spirit on a daily basis...
Have a home, food
on the table, access to education...
And the other
necessities of life, including hope.
As the necessities
of life are worked for by all earth citizens...
Crimes and criminal
behavior against society will diminish.
Page 67
WATER
Water must be conserved and not contaminated...
By
anything, anywhere, anytime.
The oceans of the
world must not be used as a dumping place for waste of any kind.
Through Community
Centers and the New United Nations concept.
Immediate plans
must be put into effect to recycle water...
Resolve water
pollution problems...
And promote the
conservation of water, in all forms and ways.
CLOTHING
Clothing should
be a statement of an persons individuality...
And
not a statement of conformity.
Most clothing and
shoes can and should be made
from natural, local materials.
This will keep the
work force that produces the basic necessities of life...
In the community
where it belongs.
Unwanted clothing
can be donated to people who are in need...
Or they can be
recycled...
And used for new
clothing, rugs, draperies...
Or other not yet
invented products.
Page 58
LAND
Land is an absolute
birthright... For all Earth Citizens
And must be shared on
an individual and group level...
In all
neighborhoods, villages, towns, cities, tribes and countries...
Around the world.
It is absolutely
wrong and detrimental to a peaceful planet...
For some people,
groups of people or governments...
To collect... land,
homes and buildings and
control acres and acres of land...
While other earth
citizens or groups of earth citizens have... None.
These inhuman
policies practiced by individuals, towns, cities, tribes or governments...
That divide up... Land
on earth...
And are dependent
on a person's financial situation...
Should NOT continue...
No matter what kind
of policies...
Or thinking
patterns perpetuates this wrong.
Through
neighborhood Community Centers...
People can combine
their efforts and unite to initiate change...
And protest these
unequal land distribution policies.
We must find new
ways for all people to own or share land...
In their area...
For the peoples
individual or family use.
The policies now in
effect around the world...
That
don't allow every person born
On
earth... Access to...
Or
to share or own land... Must be replaced.
These policies are
keeping many people without hope...
And is one of the
main...
Reasons for poverty.
On the local and global
scale...
The practice of
war to steal or control land...
Is no longer
acceptable...
And should not
be tolerated by united earth citizens, community centers and nations united.
Page 69
Fair Land distribution ideas... continued
The
time has passed when any country, group of people or individual
Because of wealth,
their size, superior weapons, self righteous thinking or...
A conquering and
domineering national or individual mentality...
Can continue to
control or dominate...
Stolen, occupied or accumulated land.
Nations or
individuals can no longer forcefully take over, occupy or effect...
Any other countries
population or homelands without serious consequences.
The consequences
from any such actions taking place now or in the future...
Should include high
pitched... Condemnation by people at centers...
And an all-out
world demonstrations by united earth citizens.
These new
protesting earth citizens...
Connecting together
through the three kinds of Community Centers...
Should use new...
Creative,
protesting practices...
Along with the
people's right to non violent...
Civil disobedience...
Non cooperation...
And non
participation...
That will draw
attention to these unjust policies around the world.
Old world
philosophies of conquering and controlling land through war...
Are major obstacles
to world peace.
The justification
of the war/land monopoly also makes possible...
The formation of
secret police organizations...
That use torture,
murder and manipulation of government policies...
To protect the
powers...
That
Be...
The Powers That Buy and Control...
And...
Promotes modem day slavery in neighborhoods around the earth.
To the best of
their ability, countries, cities, towns, villages and individuals...
Who now have
unjust local or national policies of... Land control...
Should find
more fair solution to this unholy, unjust situation.
These old world, land control and poor living
arrangements...
That keep people landless...
And force middle
and low income people into the streets...
Landless and Homeless...
Must be changed.
A piece of land and
a home...
For all people born
on earth...
Must be a (
realized ) Birth
right.
Page 70
Food, Land and a Home...
Should be a Birth Right... continued...
Land controlled by
force...
And land
distribution systems that only allow some people to own their own home...
Must be changed...
No land should be
controlled by another nation, persons outside the area...
Or absentee
landlords.
People from all areas
of the world, are capable of managing their own land and affairs.
Land that was
stolen in the past by governments or individuals...
Should be returned
or shared by those who now have...
With those who have
not.
Land returned
should be a gift not a loan.
The value of
something given, is in the giving...
And
will create a feeling of goodwill and more peace.
In some cases, long
term payments can be made to achieve...
A more balanced
distribution system of land reform or...
Whatever.
To eliminate war
and to fulfill all earth citizen's birth right to a parcel of land on earth...
People can make new
laws and rules that allow all people to share the earth.
People around the
world have the intelligence to oversee and distribute land fairly...
To all people on
the planet in a variety of ways...
To fit each
particular circumstance.
Each earth
citizen's birthright to land...
Should be made
available to that person at any age...
When they are able
to share...
And understand the
responsibilities of... Earth care.
Page 71 Is blank... Or lets say it is...

And lives in the streets... On

House
building teams and the new peace building community military...
Home building
battalions can be assembled...
Through this
New... Global Network
of Community Centers.
Trades people who
have the skills necessary to build homes...
Using non
polluting, earth friendly materials...
And renewable power
sources should be contacted.
And asked...
If they
could be hired or if they would be willing...
To volunteer their
time to help build or oversee the
building of these new homes.
The local community
building teams should then arrange times...
With volunteers
from the center...
For building the
new homes.
These volunteers,
along with building the new homes...
Should teach their
trades to each other... if needed...
Using
apprenticeship programs.
This will increase
the home building capability around the planet.
Building low cost,
small, energy efficient homes, for individual earth citizens...
Can be accomplished
in a matter of days, in many cases.
All people with any
skills or talents needed to complete a home...
Should make their
time available...
To assist each home
building team.
Volunteers should
help with the interior finishing work...
And can provide the
necessary furnishings in many ways.
Earth citizens
should also assist in starting home hydroponics gardens...
And earth
gardens... For each new
home...
And for homes
already established.

Homes and buildings already in place
Should replace and use low
energy light bulbs...
And should be
converted to individual...
Home power sources.
Homes should be
powered by... "state of the art"
Sun, wind, water or
other renewable... Earth friendly
source.
Each
home building event...
Should be enjoyable for all involved...
With
music, dancing and food for all.
Earth citizens can
then enjoy the...
Spirit of ( World and
Local ) Community.
That brought these
homes together.
The centers need
the physically challenged people of the world...
Who have their own
special wisdom... And can add to this
adventure.
Once people attain
hope...
Food, Land and a home...
Crimes and criminal
behavior against their neighbors...
Will diminish...
And this will
also... Eliminate the need for, every ones
tax money...
To support homeless
and landless people.
Because they will
have, food, land and a home.

GLOBAL HEALTH CARE
and
MEDICAL ATTENTION
Leaders of
countries, politicians at all levels, multi-millionaire, corporate owners...
And all government
workers...
Should use only the public health facilities...
That
are available to the poorest of... Earth Citizen.
This will give
these people in positions of power...
The needed insight
into the health care systems...
That they oversee... And are responsible
for.
Medical attention
of the best quality...
Without
discrimination of any kind...
Must be a basic,
global
human right.
"state of the art"
Professional and affordable medical care...
Is
another... ( neglected )
Birth
Right of all
Earth Citizens.
In the recent past... And today...
The cost of medical
care and supplies including prescription drugs...
Has escalated
astronomically.
This is causing the
poor, the very young, middle income...
And the elderly to
seek poor quality...
Or no medical care
at all.
UN-HEALTHY medical
policies around the world...
And governments
neglecting their citizens...
Are partial reasons
for the breakdown of the family unit.
These policies let
greedy people, groups of greedy people, companies...
Multi-Nationals and
inefficient government medical programs...
Abscond with the cash.
The high medical costs... Also
reduce the income...
And life savings of
elderly earth citizens..
Robbing people of their
possessions,
health, pride and spirit.
These unhealthy medical practices...
Leave little
wealth to pass on to the next generation.
Inherited birth
rights... Should be available to get young people started in a home...
On their own
land...
Beginning their
new... HEALTHY adult
life.
Page 75
Through the
use of Community Centers
We
can oversee the medical facilities of the world.
By sharing and
ingenuity we can improve medical care...
Including the best
possible humane treatment for the mentally
ill.
The education of
medical personnel, caregivers, drug companies...
Medical equipment
manufacturers and doctors...
Should include ways to lower medical costs.
Thus making
excellent...
World
Health
Care...
A practical
priority...
And available to
all people.
Through a
HEALTHY... World network of Community Centers
And all school
systems... Young people should
learn the importance of...
Helping and caring
for the elderly.
Then... In the future... When today's young
people become elderly...
The next generation
of young People... Will be the ones
able...
And educated to
help You.
This will establish
the knowledge and create the awareness of the responsibility...
To improve health
care on the individually, community and global levels.
This can be a
valuable.. Life lesson... And...
Healthy People... Will Build...
A Healthy Planet...
For All People.

INSURANCE and COMMUNITY
NOTE:
INSURANCE should be... ASSURANCE...
That
by helping others... In
their time of need...
You
to...
Will
be helped in... Your
time of need.
Most large
insurance companies tend to spend the insured person's money...
On investments that
cause harm to the planet...
And its people.
The motivating
factor behind these companies...
Is
to make as much money as possible.
They have devised
ways to eliminate responsibility...
By any governing
group, individuals or stockholders.
And these policies
practiced by any company...
Lets money...
Dominate social
values...
And steers the
world toward...
Insured...
Destruction.
