The Next Step
Democracy is an interesting prospect, and one we can finally make an effective move towards. Not just voting in the next dictator. We have the tool. It is the internet. It is no secret to anyone who has kept their eyes on the news and the dealings of governments around the world that democracy is not the power at work guiding the future of the world. One way to describe it is greed and profiteering, coupled with misinformation and propaganda designed for ultimate control. It is not what we want. But it is beyond my power to make that call, to say that the people of the earth generally want peace and the absence of rulers who would push anyone to kill another. All I can say definitively is I want that.
That's not to say that some aren't fighting "the good fight" as I see it. Many are. I would invite you to share as many examples as you can come up with. But it is time that we are all heard. Here is what I propose.
The design of a global internet forum for the sharing of and discussion of ideas. Ideas voted upon, tagged with relevant topics, discussed at length by anyone and everyone. Presented as a combination of those springing up locally; both on an interest and geographical level, and then being viewed, shared and overflowing into adjacent areas if enough interest is shown. From there the ideas on how to improve the system is left to said: anyone and everyone.
There will obviously be immense difficulties not only in keeping some asshole from getting a final say, trying to impose any concretely decided matters onto the established ruling body, I could go on and I'm sure you'll share yours. As a central apparatus for the people of the world to get together (quite literally) without regard of age, gender, social status, religion, political upbringing, poverty status (pending the initial stages which will hopefully help solve this problem) - and express their ideas openly without fear of physical retribution - it could be an ocean of global consciousness, distilled.
The natural evolution of such a system may (or inevitably) will see the rise of a ruling elite. But they won't be lobbyists, or corporate interests, or idiots with money/guns, they'll be smart people who are doing everything they can to make The Earth a better planet to live on. They won't be elected, but will precipitate for their ideas in a dynamic manner. People like Gandhi and the Dalia Lama, people persons. Of course that would be my wish, it may not be the rest of the world's. Our choice.
The globalists have said we will have world government, whether by consent or conquest. This can be our own UN. Why have delegates, we all live on this planet. We can all speak for ourselves. The first order of business I would propose would be to allow unlimited and unrestricted access for each and every human being.
This won't happen quickly, there will be lots of inadvertent philosophical education as a consequence. As a planet we need to decide where humanity will go. People are already buying chunks of the moon. We've got to learn to take care of ourselves and our planet before we fuck up the rest of the solar system, or will we all vote for the construction of mega space ships to colonize and convert or kill every intelligent life in the Universe? Remains to be seen, I just don't want to see some fucker making that call without me having a say first.
Ending notes: I don't think I am the first person to suggest such a system. If I had the programming knowledge I would have started already. If such a system is already being designed please point me towards it. Of the many responses I have already received from friends and family to whom I have proposed this idea, I shall summarize and rebut in a quick couple of sentences,
We could call it anonymous?
I am reminded of Bill Hicks' closing remarks. Added for those unfamiliar.

Doubters: "You are crazy [dragon], this shit is never going to happen, and if it did the [bad people] in the world would take over and make everything worse for everyone else. Because you must well know that the claim of good intentions and for the common good have been used by all of the worst institutions the world over to cover up heinous inhumane crimes."
Me: "Inaction will surely see our demise. Throwing out the whole dozen because the first egg was bad could be premature but killing the chicken is considerably more so." (OK, so the conversation never went like that. But you can probably piece it together.)
