The idea of cancelling all existing debts sounds quite extreme, but poverty is an extreme problem so maybe it's appropriate. It would have to be very carefully managed to prevent the same situation from reoccurring.
It seems that the division between countries creates a lot of the problems. Not that large countries have always done well historically speaking. The "one consciousness" that Steve always pushes doesn't seem right to me but perhaps it would be good if everyone treated others in the world as "one of their own". This is in contrast to the common competitive approach.
I think we should be thinking more along the lines of how can we make the world better ... this job is accomplished at many levels personal,
family, community, nationally and
internationally.
