Who will lead? How about the U.N.?

This is part three of a series of articles
written by or responded to by me.

This response was submitted to the West Valley View in reply to my previous article entitled "Who will lead, if not America?" (posted below). I find this gentleman very respectful, very well-spoken, and very wrong. While I can appreciate this man's conviction and resolve, I can't help but fear for America's sovereignty as more and more people begin to take viewpoints like these. This man's worldview is very clear. He would rather be ruled by an organization that appoints and recognizes Lybia as the head of the Human Rights Council than by an authentically good, religious Texas cowboy.

"Let man solve man’s problems"

To the editor:

While I certainly do not believe that it would be apropos to enter into a protracted debate with Michael Gray in the “Letters to the editor” columns, I must confess that if I were to debate any person, I would much prefer it to be Mr. Gray, or somebody of that caliber.

Mr. Gray’s approach to discussion is civilized, urbane, honest and rational. If everyone chose that approach to debate, this would be a much nicer world.

With that in mind, let me respond to some of Mr. Gray’s — largely just — criticisms.

I do not believe that only those with Judo-Christian values “Trample the world in the name of dispensing God-given freedom.” But, I do believe that the fanatics of every religious persuasion seek to justify, instigate and promulgate wars on moral grounds. As for a better solution to resolving disputes between nations, Sigmund Freud said it best: “There is but one sure way of ending wars. That is the establishment, by common consent, of a central control which shall have the last word in disputes [between nations].”

I have long argued that only all of mankind — working together — can solve the common problems of mankind.

Fortunately, as I pointed out in my essay: “Novo Ordo Seculorum: A New order Is Born,” more and more of Earth’s peoples are coming to realize that mankind must re-examine the philosophical precepts … to acknowledge that instead of uniting mankind, religion tends to fragment and alienate peoples into hostile and warring camps.

Mankind now stands upon the threshold of a bright new world of peace and prosperity for all. The door is ajar. All that we need do is to push it open, step through and slam it shut forever on hate, bigotry, superstition and fear.
