Re: HOMESTEAD: Glossary on the Just Third Way, Binary Economics & Capital Homesteading

Norm,

 

Thank you for your comment on the 2004 election.  Let me echo what I stated last year, that perhaps a discussion which COG should headline is in all groups is how to attain campaign fianance reform so that our proposed solutions will at least be discussed.  The set of contributing organizations and individuals seems to have a stranglehold on what is currently discussed, keeping the realistic options offered on this list off the table.

Dear Dan,

Here's something you may post on your excellent homepage of globaljusticemovement.org.

Few would dispute the claim that those who control money power can control politics.  As citizens of the most powerful nation in world history, we can see this happening before our eyes in the 2004 presidential campaign.

By the same token, those who control the definition of terms largely control the ideas held by citizens and their leaders.  And ultimately ideas shape the quality of global civilization.  We can see in the vacuum of vision among all world leaders in influencing Iraq's future, evidence that existing paradigms of thought divide rather than offer a solution to the ideological disorder that breeds global terrorism.

If this is true, then we need clearer definitions of terms, particularly terms that would lead to better understanding of the new paradigm conceived by Louis Kelso and how it can bring Peace through Justice to the world.  As far as I know, no one has ever developed and published a glossary of key terms that are necessary for understanding the best writings on this new paradigm of Louis and Patricia Kelso, Mortimer Adler, Robert Ashford, Rodney Shakespeare, and other binary political economists.  I am proud to announce that such a glossary now exists in our new book, Capital Homesteading for Every Citizen, and an even more slightly improved one posted this week at

 http://www.cesj.org/definitions/glossary.html

Please feel free to add this to your home page and recommend that others in your growing network do the same.  It goes without saying that I think this glossary may be the most important piece on CESJ's virtual library on how, in the words of Bucky Fuller, "To make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone."

Warm regards,
Norm
