The following is excerpted from Chapter 1 of SIMPLE SOLUTIONS for Humanity:

The world today can be represented by what came to me through the internet. If the world population could be reduced to 100 people, there would be:
o 60 Asians
o 14 Africans
o 12 Europeans
o 8 Latin Americans
o 5 U.S. Americans and Canadians
Or looking at population another way:
o 82 non-white
o 80 live in sub-standard housing
o 67 non-Christian
o 67 unable to read
o 50 malnourished
The United Nations has 191 members, and, according to the chapter on the Blue Revolution in Book 1, this could increase to thousands with each floating city becoming independent. So much for one global government. However, strength in number of members could well someday mature into one governing body. Either this model or a dominant global corporation, for one of the simple solutions to ending wars will be one ascendant and benevolent government. Then there will someday be colonization of outer space and the whole cycle begins again. But that’s a millennium away.

What a day. The Federal Reserve surprised many by dramatically cutting its key interest rate to 0.25%, the lowest ever in history. This was the tenth reduction in only 15 months. Banks lowered their prime rate to 3.25%. Thus, the Dow Jones Industrials soared 360 to 8924. Even before the Fed action, world markets mostly increased today. Interesting that this rate cut will mean that the American dollar will decline to both the Euro and Yen, which continues to confuse me because our affordability when we travel to Europe has improved, while to Japan has worsened. Oil went up almost a dollar to $44.41/barrel. Gold increased $17/toz to $853.

By the way, in case you are sailing east from Luzon (Philippines) or south from Japan, Typhoon Dolphin is meandering around at 75 MPH in a northeast direction away from land.
