Hope.

My main premise is that the political parties are the disease of western democracy. If we keep the parties, all the 12 limitations will still be around. Even the Nordic countries, with their social democracy, have these limitations.

As for tread carefully, the TDG will be built outside the current political structures. As it perfects its methods, it will be seen to be more credible. And then there a natural drive to western democratic structures with the TDG.

I estimate about 20 years to take the TDG to that position. That is lots of time to "tread carefully."

Today is my birthday. I turned 64. I hope this system gets going before I am not longer here.

Tell all the younger people in your life that there is a crazy guy from Canada with some crazy ideas. But he's the only one with a solution.
