Dan: Well thought out response.

Your friend may have turned a good corner, but there are only a few. The world will not become a better place if abortions are made illegal, even if the intent is a righteous intent. Some things we need to leave to a higher court than what we can create on this world.

I am quite aware that systems cannot change overnight. If the TDG is fully implemented tomorrow, it will fail. Make no doubt about that.

In Chapter 6, I discuss a 10 to 20 year transition process to effect the change. There are skills the people--and their elected representatives--need to learn. Western democracy will continue to run the nations until the TDG reaches a certain maturity.

There have been some fairly abrupt changes in western governance over the centuries:

1. The English Parliament in 1688.

2. The American Revolution in 1776 and its constitution of 1787.

3. The European Parliaments after WW 2.

4. The Fall of Communism in Eastern Europe in 1989.

In all cases, there were lots of naysayers. And success was not guaranteed (we could say #4 is still in transition). But somehow, someway the new systems prevailed.

Someone like Mr. Trump would not have been elected 15 years ago in a modern democracy. To me, that is a sign that western democracy is evolving in a bad way. Making the kind of changes in a previous post are not going to help much, especially when 32% of Americans approve of that presidency and the insurrection attempt that followed.

I started this TDG project in 1997. I thought the world had enough time to implement the TDG into a workable solution. I'm not so sure we have that time. But I shall prevail as best I can.

Maybe the USA truly needs to revert to an oligarchy before my ideas are taken seriously. Sad.
