Grassroots Government:
The World's Ombudsman.
(an on-going draft)
Today most people are not represented in their government
properly, if at all, regardless where this might be in the
world.
Even in the most advanced democracies of the "first world"
countries it might take a long time before wrongs being committed
on minorities are addressed to a satisfaction; Wrongs committed on
individuals might never be considered at all, in most instances,
mostly due to the impossibility of people having an equal access to
justice.
This pattern is common to even the most humanely advanced
societies; A pattern that is impossible to imagine to ever
improve.
The most salient characteristics of today's forms of government is
that there are no provisions for improving the system to be more
efficient and more just in any satisfactory way. Inefficiency and
social injustice are permanent fixtures that are to stay with us
forever, unless a radically, and a long overdue change for much
better happens in the way that we govern ourselves.
What is really needed is that instead of leaving behind in our wake
all the detritus of imperfections and injustice, these should be
ideally dealt with before those ever happen. There has to be
a way of dealing with any kind of problems as soon as
their very possible existence is suspected!
The only way to accomplish that is to get every citizen actively
interested in their government by making it possible for every
citizen to have an equal say in governing themselves! Then it would
be every citizen's own responsibility and a duty to look
after their very own interests--they would then have no one
else to blame than themselves for any (other than natural)
misfortunes!
Of course--before all of this happens, this project could be
started as a universal Ombudsman(1)-like entity (but far
superceding the "ombudsman" definition!) existing as a network on
from local to global level that would deal with any complaints and
suggestions pertaining to the welfare of society, and offer
wholesome re-solutions--optimally suitable realities whose
implementation would rely on their moral and factual strength only.
But this would be enough at the beginning, and it would be
something that a small number of people could start.
