War, war, war! The Palestinian children kicking a poor Israeli captured child is sick. We must realize that this puzzle does not need to be a riddle and we can avoid making it an enigma. What do we want future generations to reflect on about this horrific conflict that has two peoples at each other’s throats? How about this as a peace plan: Gaza gets evacuated for one thing. This stretch of land that has been a hotbed of suffering and a shameful tribute to what the United Nations was supposed to be taking care of and failed miserably at: getting the Palestinians out of their open prison and freak circus of refugee camps and secure a land, a territory, a country for the most abused people on earth: the Palestinians. Fellow Arab nations have been silent in watching their brothers and sisters playing Russian Roulette in this pit called Gaza with the Grim Reaper's pendulum slicing through any sort of decent life fit for a human being. As a human community we should all be ashamed to not fix this hole in our legacy that will echo in eternity. What is a peaceful way out of this and that would stop Hamas in its tracks? Make Gaza a wildlife sanctuary for endangered species of plants, animals, amphibians and aquatic life which are disappearing at an alarming rate. Our progeny would look back on us with pride as the generation who found that avoiding war could be done with creating wildlife reserves that both sides of any conflict respect and protect at all costs. We are talking about getting Jordon for example, to help us out here and cut off a slice of their huge country to allow the Palestinians to join their brethren in The West Bank. We are asking the Arab nations to put aside their prejudices and help their brothers and sisters with temporary housing until new homes and structures can be built. This could lead to one day in the not-so-distant future of Palestinians, Egyptians, Lebanese, Syrian and Israelis tilling the soil and helping maintain what could be called a Galapagos of the middle east. It would bring more tourists than the pyramids; it could help heal the deep wounds that senseless conflict has rendered on people who deserve a better chance at having a good life. It is doable.

Dear Mr Anderson and Mr Murray, you always present your discussions in a balanced and fair way Mr Anderson, and Mr Murray has an eagle eye for pointing out the inconsistencies in social issues that besiege us. One new reality we are all facing is that the LGBT community are now having children and becoming parents. My question or topic today deals with a woman being married to another woman, or as is in your case, Mr Murray, perhaps you are in a permanent relationship with your partner who is another man or intend to make it legal one day. Please understand that what I am about to say is with complete respect of every human being’s personal choices and the choices of every man and woman in the world. My point of contention is this: It is none of my business – or anyone else’s for that matter-- that a person has a relationship with another person of the same sex, or if a person decides to change their sex… the list goes on. But shouldn’t we think of our children in all of these groundbreaking events involving the LGBT community? I don’t think anybody is taking into consideration the effect of a man saying he is married to another man or a woman saying she is married to another woman on the fragile young minds of boys and girls of, say, 5, 6, 7 or even 8 years old. What do I mean by that? It is my belief that it is too complex for children of a young age to really take in what it means that a man is married to another man or a woman to a woman, or whatever other kind of relationship that is not a man and a woman. Adults can barely handle what is happening to society; children cannot be expected to comprehend abstract issues their parents are often puzzled over. What’s my point? We need new terms for the new relationships and the people in and around them. I am an inventor. If I invented the word—to marry—for example, to mean the civil union of a man and a woman, I would not want it used differently. Here is my proposition and please consider it as simply a proto-type or suggestion of how the unions between same-sex couples and the names of the people involved could be named. (Prototype terminology for the Lesbian, Gay, Trans community and other sexual identities that may be coming down the pike.) Lesbian relationships. Lesbiate = marry, a lesbian who wants to marry another lesbian, Lesbiated = a lesbian woman who has joined in civil union with another woman, Lesbiage = a marriage between two women, Le-fem = wife in feminine sense of lesbian (Perhaps some lesbian relationships would prefer to have a sense of <wife> for the opposite partner. Le-hom = husband in feminine sense of lesbian (Perhaps some lesbian relationships would prefer to have a sense of <husband> for the opposite partner). Children of Lesbians could call them their ‘Lesrents’. Now for Gay relationships: Gayriate = to marry, a gay man who wants to marry another gay man, for example, perhaps you and your partner are Gayriated = a gay man who is (married) joined in civil union with another gay man. Gayriage = a marriage between two gay men. Ga-fem = the wife sense of a gay man’s partner (Perhaps some gay relationships would prefer to have a sense of <wife> for the opposite partner) Ga-hom = the husband sense of a gay man’s partner (Perhaps some gay relationships would prefer to have a sense of <husband> for the opposite partner). Children of a gay couple could call his father and father his ‘gayrents’. Please forgive me if I have offended anyone. My goal is not to diminish the importance of the new society being created, but to put new names on the diverse relationships that are being created. We and especially the children of these relationships need new ways to call the people in their orbit. They are finding themselves in situations that have never been seen in the public arena before, and they are living situations the friends in straight couple relationships cannot relate to. I have invented these proto-type names as a way to have children see complex things in a way I believe they need to be able to distinguish for them to understand. The whole idea is to simplify in easy-to-under-stand terms so that young children can easily distinguish people in heterosexual and homosexual relationships and civil unions with new terminology that is tailor-made for their mindset. Children need to have different words to say that a man and woman are married, or a woman and a woman are lesbiated, or a man and a man are gayriated etc. Lastly, kids from same-sex parents could use this terminology: Co-pere for the ‘father’ or dominant figure in the relationship. Co-mare for the ‘femine’ or passive figure in the relationship. Your son or daughter, Mr Murray, might say to his friends in reference to you that he was going to the ball game with his Co-mare or Co-pere tonight. Again, these are examples; people will come up with their own words once there is a change in terminology. Kids will invent words too. The English language is rich, and new words get invented often. My only hope is the LGBT community and traditional society will appreciate that this is for the children and that they will consider adopting new words that I offer in the Linux way i.e. for the good of humanity, as a way of cementing their relationships so that young children will be better able to understand the world they live in . Please Mr Anderson and Mr Murray, could you give us your feedback at some later discussion? Be well.

Dear Mr Anderson and Mr Hanson, Thank you Mr Anderson for your intuitive and informing interviewing style, and thank you Mr Hanson for your courage in trying to flesh out what will be best for your country and the world with your brilliant analyses of current affairs. I am not in international affairs other than an armchair commentator, but the artist and inventor in me keeps coming up with ideas for example, on how to level out the political tsunami China is posing to the West, or how to rid the world of homelessness, or how to fix it so everyone gets a fair shake at having a good life. Already you can see that any one of these problems is gargantuan--let alone solvable. First, I believe that the core cause of problems in our countries and the whole world is that our economic system does not have what it takes to bring humanity up to the level it needs to be to sustain the Earth’s ecological dilemmas and the socio-economic Armageddon that appears to be hemorrhaging at this writing. It has permanent faults. And yes, I believe a new economic system tailored to having everyone on the same page as far as opportunity is concerned would iron out the Chinese threat, and seriously downgrade or at least reduce the possibility of global conflict by removing the economic incentives for going to war. Well, you are probably scratching your heads saying, “who is this guy?” And I don’t blame you, because I'm not someone of international standing in business or financial matters, but my solution to world peace and ecological sanity is in a book I have written and hopefully, soon to be published from Austin McCauley Publishing. It’s called “The Treatise of Teknomix” and I don’t profess to be an economist so the utopic economic system outlined in my manifesto will certainly have fatal flaws in it. However; my hope is that it will spur discussion and that it could be a road map towards exiting from the inefficient consumer capitalist model we are living under at this moment. My own opinion on how to deal with China is to realize that China can only become a diplomatic nightmare if we continue using the same way of dealing with authoritarian regimes as we have in the past. We need a new approach and this approach could be to mirror their stealth-like ability to influence our citizens into submission by also using subliminal messages. We have to remember that the next battleground is in the virtual world. We have to make products that are competitive, and again adapt our enterprises to be able to equal if not better the Chinese model. The most important thing is that we have to find a way to get the message through to the Chinese people that the West is not out to overtake them but to help them achieve equality through democratic means. They are of one mind with Emperor Xi. We have to show them that one person, one party should not be the only way for a country to be ruled. The Chinese people must be provoked into seeing that they are the ones who should be setting the rules. We have to meet them at the crossroads of the future, and by this, I mean counteracting each incursion by the Chinese government into foreign territory with clear information showing the average Chinese what it the reality is on the other side of the border for each breach of sovereignty. A poker-faced negotiating style, without name-calling, wouldn't hurt either. If there is anything interesting in my analyses, that's great. If not, I don't mind not hitting the bullseye, because what we're up against in the Covid war and economic meltdown is peanuts compared to what could be waiting around the corner if we don't change gears and upgrade our way to getting to the future or there may be only an epitaph to write before long.
