  The idea of global currency has been put forward for years now. But what is global currency?  A world currency refers to a currency that is transacted internationally, with no set borders. While it is true more and more firms are becoming multinational and must deal with a number of monetary systems, it is not always feasible to develop one monetary system to do away with the exchange rate. On March 26, 2009 a UN panel of expert economists called for a new global currency reserve scheme to replace the current US dollar based system.  Other proposals have been put forth but the all have some difficulties.   The well-known economist, Keynes, advocated a global currency and argued that it wouldn’t suffer from inflation and many argue it would make conducting business more efficient.  However,  other economists argue that a single world currency is unnecessary because it would bring little benefit and increase costs.

Only an acorn and things akin to it can dream the greatness of pure wilderness upon the earth. Untouched by man, the laws of nature, first and foremost, support the systems they serve; the floral and fauna thrive under the direction of nature’s laws. Plants and animals lived accordingly, nourishing the earth and allowing it to grow and flourish. Water systems give freely of themselves, nurturing the soil and plants along the way, while continuing their journey, bringing fresh cool water for animals waiting near the water holes. The rain replenishing the water reservoirs as the wind transports the seeds of new life all nurtured by the heat of the sun. In perfect harmony, the wilderness survives on its own.    The mos...

                               “ My Hope ” March is coming ! It will be spring once again, a time for new life, new understanding.  It will be yet another opportunity to come together as people of planet Earth to explore our relationship with our planet and with one another.

I am seeing the death of humanity! I am questioning all that we are as human beings and I am desperately looking for signs that humanity still exists.  I am seeking evidence that there is hope for us as a species, as a people, as gift to the world. But as I look for such signs, I see signs of more hate, destruction and something I do not recognize, something I cannot yet name because I honestly do not understand how a species can allow its...
