We support a sustainable development<br \/>\nwhere everyone pays what he REALLY uses &#8211; in form of ressources, bad<br \/>\nused ressources and the resulting pollution in ANY way. This would<br \/>\nfor instance result in heavily raised costs for not-sustainable<br \/>\nressources like oil, coal, gas and uranium. On one hand, the<br \/>\ntransport-costs would raise, but also would the construction and<br \/>\nproduction of less consumpting cars, planes and ships.<\/li>\n<li><b>Pay for Consumption<\/b><br \/>\nThis goes along with the sustainable development, and makes it<br \/>\npossible to work. People generally don&#8217;t give a piss about<br \/>\nanything, unless it touches their purses. This way it is possible<br \/>\nto tax consumption of non-sustainable goods, while ecological more<br \/>\neloquent products get off cheaper. On the other side, people<br \/>\nshouldn&#8217;t pay for their production &#8211; it&#8217;s economical nonsense.<\/li>\n<li><b>Freedom of Consumption<\/b><br \/>\nThe measures mentionned under (1) and (2) will result in some kind<br \/>\nof Freedom of Consumption. Of course can you drive a Sportscar<br \/>\nthat uses 20l\/100Km &#8211; but you&#8217;ve got to PAY for that gas. You&#8217;re<br \/>\nstill completely free to buy what you want, as long you can afford<br \/>\nit. You might want to eat heavily herbizidized (but wonderful-looking)<br \/>\napples &#8211; but the apples from biological planting will be cheaper&#8230;<\/li>\n<li><b>Freedom of Production<\/b><br \/>\nNobody will mind that you repair your house, since production will<br \/>\nnot be taxed. Do it yourself, it will be cheaper. You want to sell<br \/>\nsomething? As long as you already have it, you will have to pay<br \/>\nnothing, since there&#8217;s no consumption. If you want to produce and<br \/>\nsell, lets say chairs, you can do it. All you will have to pay for<br \/>\nthe ressources, BUT NOT FOR YOUR TIME USED FOR PRODUCING SOMETHING.<\/li>\n<li><b>Freedom of Information<\/b><br \/>\nThe most valuable thing on earth ever been is KNOW-HOW. Knowing how<br \/>\nto make a fire, knowing how to plant&#8230; Information is maybe the thing<br \/>\nlinked to humanity the most. Information is power, time, money,<br \/>\nbusiness, survival &#8211; nearly everything. It ist understandable that<br \/>\none will protect its own knowledge for the sake of his business,<br \/>\nfor instance. What ist not understandable is the protection of<br \/>\ninformation which the producer wanted to see free. This is just<br \/>\nwhithelding information from the public &#8211; called censorship.<br \/>\nWhether this is done to protect some &#8216;moral minority&#8217; or to protect<br \/>\nchildren from getting access to\/viewing it, its just stupid to<br \/>\nwhitheld it. This applies also to violent\/pervert and otherwise<br \/>\nnot liked pictures, movies, texts, books, online-Information<br \/>\netc. If you want to protect children from things like this,<br \/>\ntake care of it yourself &#8211; the state ist not responsible for<br \/>\nprotecting your child from REALITY!<\/li>\n<li><b>Freedom of Speech<\/b><br \/>\nFreedom of Speech, and Freedom of Information, these two go very<br \/>\nclose. Since if you want to say something not only to a specific<br \/>\nperson but everyone, it is considered information. But there has<br \/>\nto be still a fine line &#8211; if one says that the governement consists<br \/>\nof idiots, it should be allowed (even stronger expressions). But<br \/>\nif one appelates to shoot the government because it consists of idiots, that&#8217;s quite another thing. The same goes to fascism,<br \/>\nracism, sexism and the like (But they surely won&#8217;t mind if I<br \/>\nanswer on a abuse of strangers with an abuse of racists, don&#8217;t<br \/>\ndo they? :)  After all, the best answer to a bad book is a good<br \/>\nbook.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Peter Keel,<\/p>\n<div id=\"date\">1996-12-28<\/div>\n<p>(probably)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Making the World a better Place Sustainable Development Economy and Ecology ARE the same.
