13. We need to be concerned about every person and species on the planet.

14. We need to become vegans for ecological, ethical, and health reasons to promote sustainable practices in consideration of future generations.

15. We need to value democratic world government built from the bottom-up instead of having a new world order imposed on us from the top-down.

16. We need single-payer health insurance or Medicare for All.

17. Instead of charging students for higher public education, we should make it free. In fact, we could even pay students and older adults for their academic achievements, if we truly value education.

18. We need more Americans to demand workplace democracy.

19. We need to demand that our government stop intervening into the affairs of other countries in order to implement our own business agenda at their expense, to their detriment.

20. We need to lead the world in reducing all military spending, and in dismantling all nuclear weapons that are currently on the face of the earth.

We need a president who--being open, honest, and transparent--will say, "I will do everything in my power--to get military spending drastically reduced worldwide, and I will work to dismantle all nuclear weapons on earth." We need a president who will be sorry and apologize in an individualized way to each country of the world for the pain, suffering, and loss of life that the United States has caused throughout many generations.

Imagine what it would be like if our nation, or the world, had free public education at all levels, free health care, and free public transportation, with the wages of the highest paid worker no more than 3 times the lowest earning income. We could drastically reduce the need for militaries, the police, cars, and health insurance companies. We could start avoiding all fossil fuels. We could provide incentives to voluntarily reduce world population, as the need arises.

If the United States will follow the recommendations stated here, it can help make the world great for the first time, and it can give the world a reason to love us for the first time, for all the right reasons. Creating a world that is open, honest, and transparent is the most important thing we can do. It will allow us to love and accept ourselves and others. It is our intentions and motivations that create our destinies. I am not absolutely certain that aliens have visited the earth, but with everyone we encounter, we can always try to be kind to set a good example. Every nation that helps the world live and work together in harmony will be appreciated by the world consensus, for example, by the General Assembly of the United Nations.

February 11, 2023 I grew up in a church that said you had to speak in tongues to get saved and go to heaven. I often prayed fervently starting at the age of 5 for the experience in the prayer room at church, where people would cry and wail, (more...)
