>Bad capitalism is replaced by good capitalism. [13 ]

An Rx for Philanthropists

What follows next is a brief prescription for x initiatives that would need to be undertaken to dismantle America's corpocracy peacefully and legally and replace it with a true democracy. I will e-mail this Rx along with the entire article to Messrs. Gates and Buffett imploring them to undertake the initiatives.

1. Send a copy of my book detailing a model for a totally reorganized, socially responsible, and high performing corporations to the CEOs and Board of Directors' Chairs for all corporations. [14]

2. Buy out or build a model corporation in each of the 13 most harmful industries. For instance: 2a. Buy out or build a factory and hire at irresistible salaries factory workers for a war contractor and make "ploughshares" such as much need public works projects; 2b. Buy out or establish a major newspaper, television and film maker that gives the American people the unvarnished truths and avoids entertainment that enshrines violence and death by any means; 2c. Buy out or establish a major financial firm that does not bilk the investor or borrower, does not fund military operations and does not launder drug money.

3.Buy out or build an energy producer that produces environmentally clean energy.

4. Buy out or establish a charter school that teaches creative thinking and true and complete history.

5. Offer the leaders of the world's major religious organizations offerings they can't refuse to stop starting, endorsing, or tolerating military and other non-peaceful forceful operations.

6. Create and promote a new political party that seeks government reforms such as those I detailed in one of my early books, and that promises to establish a true democracy serving the public' interests, not those of corporations and other special interest groups detrimental to the common good. [15]

7. Convene a Constitutional Convention to abolish the version framed by and for oligarchs, such as the 2nd Amendment deliberately aimed at mustering arms to repel any widespread revolts by commoners suffering from tyrannical rule. Restructure and simplify the three branches of government that essentially prevent any unified action for the common good.

In Closing

I predict that if my Rx for the common good and philanthropists are totally adopted, the human condition will improve dramatically, and one or more forms of Doomsday will be avoided.

Will it come to pass? Will eventual Doomsday be voided? I seriously doubt it. I fully expect Messrs. Gates and Buffett to ignore my plea. They always have before.
