As a futurist, I believe we need a long range view that considers the impacts of today’s decisions on tomorrow’s reality and the well-being of our people and planet. Following are some of the future ideals upon which this website stands:
Communities and families that are safe and nurturing
Freedom and the pursuit of happiness as embodied in our United States Constitution
Pursuit of knowledge and wisdom beyond narrow ideologies
Freedom of speech, but within an atmosphere of civil discourse
A free society where the rights of the individual are balanced with the common good
Recognition that our earth is a precious resource and a gift we must use wisely
The triumph of kindness over cruelty and altruism over self-centered interest
Equal opportunity, tolerance and compassion for all peoples
A government of the people, for the people and by the people
Government that is representative, responsible and responsive to average citizens
Government that is open to effective public scrutiny and oversight
Media that embodies truthfulness, accuracy, objectivity, and fairness
A system of justice that deters and constrains harmful behavior
