Re: [Biofuel] Imposing democrisy

[Keith Addison]

Hi Bob

I spelled it wrong, I meant to say democrisy, sorry.

As a democracy New Zealand ranks 5th, after Norway, Iceland, Denmark 
and Sweden, with Australia 6th, and the US 19th, after Uruguay and 
the UK.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_Index

I'm not sure if that makes New Zealand 3.8 times more democratic than 
the US, nor whether Mr Rudd would currently agree about Oz.

New Zealand ranks 32nd on the per capita GDP list:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita

However, it gets a "poor" rating in the Happy Planet Index (HPI):
http://neweconomics.org/sites/neweconomics.org/files/The_Happy_Planet_Index_1.pdf

New Zealand is coloured dark orange on the map, far below green.

In the rankings chart (p57), it ranks 11th in the Western world, but 
only 94th worldwide, after Jordan and followed by Japan.

Countries in HPI rank order

Reasonable ideal
Life Satisfaction 8.2
Life Expectancy 82.0
Ecological footprint 1.5
HPI 83.5

New Zealand
Life Satisfaction 7.4
Life Expectancy 79.1
Ecological footprint 5.5
HPI 41.9

Godzone?

I think democracy is a denatured concept these days, especially 
considering what's done in its name. Maybe it's hit its use-by date, 
as have nation states, surely, in this living world where everything 
is connected to everything else. We need something better than 
nations and democracy, more local and more global.

"The major western democracies are moving towards corporatism. 
Democracy has become a business plan, with a bottom line for every 
human activity, every dream, every decency, every hope. The main 
parliamentary parties are now devoted to the same economic policies - 
socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor - and the same 
foreign policy of servility to endless war. This is not democracy. It 
is to politics what McDonalds is to food." - John Pilger

"I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist 
due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too 
important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for 
themselves." - Henry Kissinger, prior to the CIA overthrow of the 
democratically elected government of socialist President Salvadore 
Allende in Chile in 1973, to be replaced by the murderous Pinochet.

"Its easier to kill a million people than it is to control them." - 
Zbigniew Brzezinski

"No man is an island, intire of itselfe, every man is a part of the 
maine. Any man's death diminishes me, for I am involved in Mankinde. 
So seek not to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." - 
John Donne

Time to dump Leo Strauss and look to Georgescu-Roegen.

Sorry!

It doesn't mean you're not allowed to like it.

It's the last two paragraphs that I'm on about, mainly.
