Ray: In 1986, I thought my contribution to a better world was with politics. So I joined a political party in Canada. After six years as a very active party member, I came to the conclusion that I had been wasting my time. Life inside a political party is dysfunctional. I could not change that.

But somehow I invented an alternative system of governance. I've been working on that system since 1997.

My system will built outside the current system. As it learns the new skills and attitudes, it will become a credible alternative to replace western democracy.

And then we can really deal with all these issues--like climate change--in a more humanistic way.

I have your April 8 meeting in mind. Not sure I can commit to it. We'll see what happens.
