We are all responsible and empowered to co-create our shared future. We have the power to make our world better and the power to make our individual lives better.

What price do we pay for not taking healthy action? What price do we pay for remaining silent while governments and businesses use mass media to turn people into passive, obedient, ignorant sheeple?

Many allow themselves to be divided and conquered. They blindly accept the lie that they are superior based on their religion, race, and nationality. The masses are kept ignorant and arrogant — so they are easily divided and conquered. "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." (Thomas Jefferson)

The world spends over $1.3 trillion a year on military. At the same time, governments approve billions in business with the same nations that they spend billions preparing to fight. They get the poor to kill the poor. In the last century, governments organized the killing of over 100 million through war and genocide. Hundreds of millions more were injured and impoverished. At the same time, personal fortunes were made in every war. International bankers and arms dealers helped all sides — as they still do. "War is a racket. The few profit, and the many pay." (U.S. Major General Butler)

Today, half of the world's people struggle to live on less than $2 per day — while the handful of super rich keeps growing. The middle class that remains in some countries is being squeezed out of existence. Around the world, class extremism is growing — and the police state that it needs for protection is growing along with it. Clever excuses are made for slowly stripping away people's rights. The ignorant masses believe the lies that mass media feeds them. They are being obediently programmed by TV and radio news and entertainment. And they are losing their rights to privacy and self-protection.

Democracies are being eroded into business-controlled empires, where the laws place profit first and people second. "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism, because it is the merger of state and corporate power." (Mussolini, the father of fascism)

Today's richest global businesses are in oil, banking, and medicine. At the same time, more people are struggling to afford fuel, to pay debts, and to buy medicine. People are working more, but they have less. Where is the reward of their effort going? Why don't governments protect the people? Do governments of so-called democracies even represent the people?

How much more will people pay before they finally take healthy action? And when they take action, what will they do? New politicians and new parties do not work. Communism does not work. Democracy with easily corrupted elections does not work. Religion-controlled government does not work. What will restore people's power to govern and protect themselves? Finding answers is the focus of what you are about read at www.improvingourworld.com. Here's a sample:

SOLUTIONS TO MAJOR SOCIAL PROBLEMS

Use only legal and peaceful ways.

CORRUPTION OF DEMOCRACY
Continuously conduct new experiments in democracy. First
try them in a few cities, and try the best of these at higher levels. Residents
vote on results. Experiment with: lotteries (sortition) and elections to select
officials; term limits for more offices; limits on campaign contributions; equal
media time for qualified candidates; representatives may advance in government only
one level at a time.

IGNORANCE
Spend more to make higher education and Internet access at
very low cost for all.

OVERPOPULATION
Boycott products made in countries with the fastest
growing populations. Reduce trade with overpopulated countries until they
reduce birth rates. Have a global minimum wage of $5/hr for employees of
companies based in nations having a greater minimum. Prices will rise; so be
willing to pay more or consume less.

CORPORATE GREED
Boycott the greediest corporations. Require corporate
charters to be rewritten, so public interest is placed ahead of profit, as it
was in the first charters.

WAR
Reduce corruption of democracy.
