- Greetings are in order, and welcome. My forte and work for the past 37+ years has been in the area of Social Justice, and Human Rights. Did you know that every Nation that is a member of the United Nations is in violation of the UN Charter and the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights? That is a good place to start, should you not have identified where to formulate your theories, etc. Human Rights should be the basis of Citizenship Rights of any country in the world.
We must neet. Do you have a regular email? Mt email address is wayofahuman@gmail.com
Also, what is your phone number? My nimber is 202-396-1179. This is my office phone. I do not use a home phone. I should have a new cell phone number soon and i will relay that too you.
Since you are so close now, I will view you as both an associate and a student if you don't mind.
I am preparing to make a presentation before the Washington DC City Council today, this afternoon; so I am having to cut short this message. Look for another connection next week, if not before.
By the way you also, have a good weekend.

- Dear friend,
On March 21st 2009 a World Wide Hug Party will take place in clubs and galleries all over the world. We invite every city, village or town to join this initiative. Will you organise a World Wide Hug Party in your hometown?
We are all part of the collective consciousness, in which everything is connected with the universal energy. We are able to heal our planet and unite everybody in peace and tolerance. So let us demonstrate our unity, let us show our fellow-human beings that we all are One, no matter what kind of religion, race or culture we represent. We are able to love and respect each other.
In the evening of March 21st in Oceania, New Zealand and Australia people will start the Hug which will go around the world in 24 hours, the biggest chain of peace that you can imagine.
The idea is as simple as it is effective: just hug! When we hug each other we open our heart and we can feel the loving energy pounding between us. When we open our heart we unite our energy.
Be part of this event!
Be a witness of this event!
All the events will be broadcasted through the internet, to watch, to be watched, to hug and to be hugged.
On the website www.worldwidehugparty.org you get information about how to organise your own World Wide Hug Party, how to add your video stream on internet and how you can watch the other events all over the world.
Go to:

- Additional message. I am also talking with another person in Africa. Please note my message to him that I cutting a pasting here. I will be in touch:
Forgive the delay in getting back to you, as I want to continue this interaction on a timely basis. Right now I am having technical difficulty, and I have some work that has to get out. The new President here has created an environment conducive to real changes, and so I am seizing the moment. I will keep you posted on this as I complete this work I must do within the next 5 days.
Then I can get back with you. Have you ever consider the thought of a common world citizenship? There is such a thing as Humanity. What we all have in common anywhere in the world is that we are Human. And Humans though different in colors of skin, religion and culture have the same basic needs, wants, and desires.
The United Nations is one of the most dysfunctional organizations in the world that can potentially help humans all over the world.
They are dysfunctional because of the representatives of the different countries that are members of the United Nations.
I am going to send you in a minute some work I am doing on Poverty and Humanity, and Human Rights and Citizenship Rights. I am sure you will find it interesting as well as relevant to your area of the world.
I believe that America can change the world, but America must change. Nowhere on this Earth is there a true democracy that is a government of, for, and by the people. Just the same America has its hands in every country of the world. American citizen that represented the rebellious 1960s and 1970s are being revitalized as many of their concerns in the past are still there concerns today. The government has not change and before the newest President, the government had gotten worse.
The latest generation here warrants special attention as they are picking up the issues and causes that their predecessors stood for. There is a mergence of these two generations.
I will only say further, as I must go, is that as a Social-Cultural Anthropologist, I have studied Generations. In this focus of my studies I have concluded that each Generation has two highpoints that contribute to the growth of Humanity in the world. Some are subtle, and some are poignant. My Generation that represented the events and changes in America and the world during the 60s and 70s, first high point was the 60s and 70s. We are due for one more as we proceed to pass on. The new Generation is preparing for its first highpoint, and I see their developing highpoint being related to my Generation’s second highpoint.
I do hope that this is not confusing. I am a bit rushing as I have a lot to do today and I have to complete it all. I will follow up with you in a few days; however I will be monitoring emails from the Peace and Collaborative Network, so you can respond normally, and I will do my best to keep up in this period of accelerated work I must accomplish. Thanks and have a good day.

- I have some thoughts that I need to share. A possible project I can assist you with. Leadership has become so arrogant, and those that oppose leadership usually become like the leadership they oppose. However, what I have come to realize is that leaders are intimidated by the truth and from large numbers that represent the truth.
What I am preparing to do here is to teach those in need of change to advocate for themselves while defragmenting themselves and forming large groups that have common interest.
In do this I am preparing to help people write the stories of their existence....2 too 3 pages at the most. Depending on these stories contents and the articulation of them will determine the venues I will use to disseminate this information.
So there are three things I want to focus on with you:
1) The need to form groups with different interest; however their different interest are from a common source.
2) focusing on common problems and common solutions
3) Organization aroound citizenship development.
I will clarify these three areas later, but this might get us started to share more and to help each other in our common pursuits.
I got to go. Take care and please have a good day.
