What if you were put in charge of the World tomorrow? How would you run the planet?

If you have arrived onto this page from an external link or search engine, the material below will make no sense whatsoever unless you know why this site was created. A very brief summary can be read by clicking here

This globally popular educational and research website (stolen from www.12-12-12.org) lists every national and international problem in the world in a rather unusual and entertaining way, so remember to bookmark www.harryrings.org in your favourites folder! For the record: Harry Potbelly Lord of the Onion Rings has decided to take over the World because it is in a mess. He has decreed that by December 12^th 2012 there will be global peace and no more poverty. Stop doing what you were going to do today and read on.................

Harry Potbelly Lord of the Onion Rings as Director of the Human Race and Manager Planet Earth commands and Andronicos "The Cynic" responds as follows.........

I have worked with some of the largest computer systems in the World specialising in Problem and Change Management". Whether it be your PC at home or the biggest computer network for the biggest bank in the World, the following computer law is undeniable: "problems cause the need to change things and "things" that change sometimes become problems." Speaking from experience it is often the smallest change that causes the biggest problems to fix which impacts many, many people.

Genetically modified humans, by which I mean changing the DNA of a person or their future offspring is to be handled with the utmost care. You'll feel a bit of a twit in 10 years if the DNA "treatment" to give you a very macho hairy chest and huge muscles has the side effect of a minuscule penis and huge bunny rabbit ears.

I do not accept the idea that a rich ruling elite should be able to buy specialist DNA programming expertise to design and create customised babies. I will allow the technology, within reason, to be used to eliminate sickness and hereditary disease, but not to create super babies for the sake of it. Two olympic athletes who decide to have a family and give birth to a super athlete is fine, but two couch potatoes should not produce a laboratory super high jumper with 4 legs.

I direct that 12 eminent people, cautious, incorruptible, experts in their field, highly respectable and paragons of ethical virtue be appointed trustees of issuing global guidelines on these matters. Deliberation must take place in public. Only votes of 9 out of 12 or more will pass and will be final.

Could someone please provide some DNA to alter His Greatness’ brain.

Statistics of Shame

Ponder............
It will take an average person 12 hours to read and understand the contents of this website and listen to 'The Speech'. Is one hour a day for 12 days too long? Why don't you email the www.12-12-12.org link to 12 of your friends and discuss their opinions in 12 days time? Maybe the 7th person in your email chain can break the secret code and the 12th person, may hold the key to World Peace. Are you or someone in your family the 7th or 12th person?
