Subey Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Right now every nation is like a little cultural sandbox where they explore various issues. Some examples are "Gay Marriage, Euthanasia, Prostitution, Drug laws, penal codes" etc. What about a G-8 like group where everyone got together to explore and share these issues as a group rather than as seperate ships in a convoy? *** On a semi-related note. What about an earth version of David Brin's Uplift concept? Only applied directly between Canada and a specific voluntary third world nation. Right now foreign aid seems to be a pretty hap hazzard affair with no specific goal insight. By focusing aid within an Uplift framework perhaps that would result in the most advantage gain.

geoffrey Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Uplift framework=white man's burden. We'll be back at imperialism before we know it... though I guess if it makes people better off, I'm behind it. Canada needs its warm water ports and a place in the sun.
