Statistics Of Shame

Imagine if our future descendants in millions of years time had exotic technology to enable their colonisation of other planets. Assuming this happened, it is likely they would also possess highly advanced telescopes that could look at Earth today, in the same way we can look at stars now as they appeared millions of years ago. It is quite likely this technology could even allow them to read our minds. Would they be proud to be called Human Beings or would they stare in disbelief at some of the shameful statistics below?

200,000 people rule the World. Grade 'A' rulers hold the key to eliminating war and extreme poverty by December 2012. Grade 'B' rulers (The Corporate World) hold most of the purse strings. If these 200,000 individuals worked together, with our help every conflict that is itemised in section 5, every environmental issue itemised in section 3 and extreme poverty would disappear off the planet within a few years.

12-12-12 gives various opinions, presented in an unusual way, describing how it can all be achieved by looking forward rather than back in any great depth to attribute blame. But before reading it, please review some of the shameful statistics below.

Help! Our Baby has fallen into the swimming pool

Everyone would agree that if a baby fell into a public swimming pool, a rescue attempt should be made to save its life. But while it's drowning...

Would everyone point at everyone else and say "you jump in"?

Would there be a big debate as to why the parents were at fault?

Would the lifeguards be blamed for not stopping the accident?

Would lawyers think about the legal implications for what is happening prior to allowing a rescue attempt?

Would the swimming pool rules be changed first?

Would the fact that the swimming pool was a bit cold make a difference?

Would the fact all the people are on their way to a hairdresser convention make a difference?

Would the fact a business appointment will be delayed make a difference?

Would the local or national government be blamed for mismanaging swimming pools?

Would the local pious religious clerics point to mixed sex bathing being the root cause of the problem which had to be addressed before ANY rescue attempt?

Would God be blamed for allowing the tragedy or not designing water babies properly?

The baby in my example is the poorest quarter of the human race. I direct everyone who can swim jumps in NOW for three reasons: firstly, it's the right thing to do, secondly most people will feel happy inside for even trying, and thirdly… the baby may grow up and return the favour by saving the life of its rescuer.

Let's save the baby's life now and deal with the questions later. Specifically one that is not on the list above: How will such accidents be stopped from happening in the future?

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?
