As I mentioned in my last post, I am running for president.
One of the most serious courses of action a President must consider is going to war. On the planet Ecpealuf, they came up with a solution to this problem that eventually eliminated war from their world. When ever a nation or part of a society initiated violent actions against others, non-involved nations pooled their resources and instead of sending soldiers bearing weapons, they shipped massive amounts of medicine, food, electric generators, appliances, construction materials, etc. to the involved parties.
The warring nations, suddenly overwhelmed with gifts that allowed the common individual to raise its level of survival, became confused, their purposes for war diffused, the violence dwindled away. Eventually, all the citizen of Ecpealuf were lifted up beyond the restrictions of not having enough to survive everyday, they began to share more and more with each other and their world changed forever...
The questions arises: Will acting out of generosity and kindness solve the problems of this world? Things are never that simple and yet. Don't you want a being in the White House, who, along with having the wherewithal to destroy their enemies militarily, was also be willing and able to act diplomatically with true friendship and tolerance. Ultimately, we must show that the United States cares more than it hates. Builds more than it destroys. Accepts differences more than it discriminates.
If you cannot chose me for your President, then, at least, consider a candidate who will incorporate this option into his or her strategy. But really, you should elect me!

Announcing Candidacy For President
Hello. It has been a while since my last blog. I have been at a "conference" in a galaxy far, far away. One item on the agenda was this planet. I have been allowed to increase my involvement.
Something I have not mentioned before is that in recreating a body for living here on your Earth, I incorporate small bits of local DNA. This enables me to better understand the local environment. In this case, I utilized native plant species growing in the soil of the United States. So in a way, I was born in this country.
Legally, according to some constitutional lawyers I have consulted, I can run for president of the United States. Today I am announcing my candidacy. My mind and experience maybe extraterrestrial, but enough of my body was born in the good ol' USA.
I shall be using this space to publish elements of my platform.
Today I want to touch on EII! EII is Energy Independence for the Individual! If elected I will initiate an energy project to create true energy independence for the individual citizen. Energy costs should only be the result of maintenance because there is so much free energy available. Here is a part of what I would do:
Solarize the roofs of every major mall in the country. Millions of roof acres would suddenly be producing electricity. Secondly, every farmer (rancher, vintner, orcharder, etc.) in the country would receive a home-scaled windmill for producing electricity. (For More about Renewable Energy, see Harvest The Sun.)
This is just the start, Elect Aleya!

Sapienthologist speaks at Quincinera
A few days ago, I donned a more human disguise (See earlier posts regards my ability to change my appearance) and went to a Quincinera, which is a 15th birthday celebration of the coming of age of a human female. After a brief ceremony at a Baptist Church which included a communion type ritual, the family and friends went to a dance party. At this event, held in a Masonic Lodge, I was asked to and gave the traditional toast.
What a break for a Sapienthologist to see the religious and dancing ceremonies of young women. I am wondering if my toast captured the human perspective and have decided to print it here. If anyone feels that I missed the saucer because of my off-world perspective in this speech. Please let me know. As this is a speech, it may read best spoken aloud...
"Tonight we are here to honor and recognize the coming of age of Kayla G--- W---,
Daughter of Vivian, Granddaughter of Gloria, Great grandaugher of Mary, Great great granddaugher of Refugia and way back, down the generations, mothers and daughters, back to Africa and Lucy and beyond. This is a special event marking your move into womanhood, Kayla.
"Quincineras are special. But there are other cultures that mark the transition from childhood to adulthood. There are tribes that give their young females a cooking pot, a coconut and a stone. And send them to a small deserted island for a few days to contemplate their approaching maturity.
"Or maybe I am thinking of an episode of Survivor.
"Anyway, today, Kayla, we welcome you to your new status as a young adult. Your world is forever changed. Tomorrow you will begin to make more of your own choices as you take over the responsibility for your own welfare.
"For that's what adults do - they take care of themselves. And when school starts again, you won't need to be told to do your homework. You will choose to do it, because it is in your own self-interest.
"And tomorrow your chores will disappear. To be replaced by duties. Now you will chose to clean you room and wash dishes and all those other things, not because you are told to, but because your are taking on the responsibility for your family's welfare. And that's what adults do - they take care of others.
"But don't fret this adult stuff too much. It takes years to reach full adulthood. There is a learning curve. In fact, there are those amongst us tonight who are still very childish sometimes.
"And I think you know who I mean...
"Those of use who are older than you, Kayla, know the joys & sorrows, burdens & freedoms that await you. Don't be afraid to listen to us sometimes and seek our advise - adults do that, too.
"Daughter survive!
"Because of the nature of this universe - there has never been a time and space like this one now. You are taking another step on your personal journey through life that is special and unique. Kayla, you are special and unique. But look around here - you are not alone.
"With love. Everybody, to Kayla!"
I did some dancing, too. Although I miss the music of my home world.

Compassionate Non-Interferance
The possible doom of the human species is looming in all sorts of different ways: The creation of a bio-engineered deadly diseases, nuclear proliferation, global warming and contact with a hostile intersolar species are all real threats. It does not surprise me that I get contacted with the following question: "Why doesn't the galactic league step and in and help planet Earth?"
Most galactic species that have managed transportation between the stars, have come to the conclusion that they have enough problems of their own without taking on the problems of other planets. There is dificulty in predicting what the results of interfering in the internal affairs of another species would be. So most interstellar races have developed a policy of "Compassionate Non-Interference." (Watch out for those star folks that do not have this policy - they can be vicious.)
Most intelligent societies have this basic struggle: Evolve towards the unique individual or evolve towards the group mind. On the planet Drallab, for example, the people there began to put silicon chips into the brains of criminals to control their behavior. This worked so well, they decided to implant more complex chips into the brains of their newborn. Eventually, everyone was "wired" and controlled by a central authority. They became a Hive People, all working for the common society. They stopped being very creative and have not changed for eons, but they are very efficient at raising and gathering food.
We could impose our will on the planet Earth, but the potential of stifling your unique potential is high. What a loss of inovations and creativity, if you did not manage to make it to the next rung of civilization on your own.
What does Compassionate Non-Interference mean? Generally, physical help is only provided when there is a conscious world-wide request. On the other gripper, guidance via communication is usually acceptable. For example, I highly recommend that all of your buildings incorporate Hybrid Solar Lighting. It will save on your energy usage.
And I highly suggest that you begin to develope social solutions that DO NOT INVOLVE KILLING EACH OTHER! Just a thought...
Anyway, one of the purposes of this blog is to toss out signposts to those who will read them. Of course, the skyrocketing death of your fellow lifeforms - frogs, birds, bears, sharks, whales, etc. may trigger a harsher scrutiny of your planetary situation. But I believe you can take care of yourselves and this world...

Minimum Living Standard
Much has been made in the aftermath of the US Elections about a minimum wage for workers. I am reminded of the planet Amuart which not so long ago was politically quite similar to the planet Earth.
Amuart is a world filled with nation states. At the time of which I speak, each country was responsible for their individual citizen's quality of life. In some countries, most people did well. In other places, there were constant deaths that were easily preventable. Nowhere was poverty, starvation and poor health eliminated completely. The citizens finally got tired of always worrying about the welfare of their parents and of their children and especially of themselves.
"What if I lost my job or broke my paratel tenticle?" they wondered, "And no longer made enough to cover daily concerns?" These citizens demanded that their leaders provide a Minimum Living Standard or MLS for everyone.
What is the Minimum Living Standard? For the Amuartians, MLS meant running water for drinking and cleaning, sustainable daily calories and shelter for the night. Additionally, basic health care is included.
At first, only the wealthiest nations implemented an MLS plan. They issued to each of their citizens a card which could be used to access food, water and plumbling, sleeping rooms at night, as well as access to medical care. Then through treaties, international loans and some tenticle twisting all the nations of Amuart raised the quality of life to the Minimum Living Standard.
How was this paid for? In the begining, the MLS programs was paid for by taxes on the richest 3% of the planet's people. Then as the MLS began to eliminate unnecessary deaths, medical problems, crime and wars, it was easy for all the people to take up the small burden of maintaining the MLS. In fact, today Amuart's individual and collective taxes are at their lowest level in their history while their quality of life is unprecedented.
While I think an increase in your Minium Wage will do great good, I wonder if you will soon talk of a Minimum Living Standard?

Ending the Middle East Problem and other conflicts
There is a simple way to end the war in Iraq, the violence in the Middle East and elsewhere.
The entities of the Planet Burgone learned this life lesson eons ago by observing a species of insects on their world. (Your philospher Thoreau learned his own lessons from watching ants!) These insects, known as Krembles, are flying hunters much like your Terran Dragonfly. The Krembles are individual insects that hunt and devour other insects around them. They also have the habit of landing and resting on the skin of warm blooded animals.
Ninty-nine percent of the time, when a Kremble lands on a Burgonite, nothing happens. The insect inspects the surface for a moment or two, then flies away. Surprisingly, Butgonites do not slap or shoo away the Kremble. Nor do the less intelligent animals on Burgone bother a Kremble that lands on them.
Why? When a female Kremble mates, she needs to ingest the fluids from a warm animal to complete the fertilization process of her eggs. But unlike your mosquito which leaves an itching bump and carries diseases, the female Kremble's bite leaves a gift - an antiviral/health serum that is a powerful cure-all for most diseases inflicting the Burgone people and animals. A great boon, except for that rare occassion, about once in 1,000,000,000 bites, when the injected serum causes death!
After living with the Krembles for thousands of years, the Burgonites one day realized that the insects were showing them a peacful way to live. They had learned tolerance by allowing the Krembles to land on their bodies unmolested. Now when Burgonites are together, they went about their business respectfully ignoring each other. This is how humans act when they shop at the grocery store, politely tolerating other shoppers as they gather food.
The Burgonites learned to help each other as the Kremble helped them with its curative bites. And they discovered that death can come even from the best of intentions, but that does not keep you from being tolerant and helping others.
Simply put, can you and your leaders learn to act with respect for others. To give a gift when the time is right. To forgive the damage when interactions with other humans causes harm... IF you can do this individually, then collectively, the World Peace that occured on Burgone can be yours as well.

What Can I Do?
In listening and watching your American election campaigns, I have noticed much talk about you war in Iraq - how it is an important issue.
This "war" appears to be in bad shape. Why? I suggest that it is because only your politicians and a few businesses own this war - the American people have not taken responsibility for this war.
Have you asked yourself this question: What can I do... to help the Iraqi people?
Perhaps everyone in Iraq needs sunglasses; perhaps it is clean, running water. Perhaps it is safety in walking the streets. Perhaps Iraquis need to be reminded of their opportunity of building a great nation. Perhaps every child in America needs to donate a week's allowance to hire and train Iraqui police. Perhaps orange trees need to be planted along the Tigris.
What dream can you imagine that can turn the acts of war into the acts of peace. What can you demand of the American Government that will help the Iraqui people create their nation with schools and malls and individual freedom. What can I do... in this election and in the coming months, take ownership of this war, consider what you can individually do to create an Iraqi nation and demand the same from your elected officials.
