Welsh/Scot Gender Balance Will Move Eng, US, Indian "Kings and Royal Courts" to Share Office With Women and Common Men of Partnership -- "Remember the Ladies" or Resign Graciously

(It has already aways existed unofficially in the golden rule-dreams of fair citizenry of every land). But unless English, US and other English speaking officials from Canada to Australia to India want to continue to be known worldwide as pseudo-nations of self-and-earth destructive male dominators and female dumbbells-in-denial, they'd better catch up to the North Sea Countries and mainland Europeans on gender balance very quickly. And, unless the UN wants to be considered HIStory, a thing of the past, and a danger to present and future, it also needs to catch up to gender balance, as well, and cooperate with the IPU and many ngos (see links below) in worldwide transformation. It's time everyone, especially political sons, daughters, wives and colleagues, yes, that includes Cherie Booth Blair and Hillary Clinton, Tipper Gore, Kim Campbell and Laura Bush together, in both already and not yet but soon to become gender balanced countries and political parties, to publically invite the excess, often "old-boy" men kings or pharoahs -- starting with those in English and US office-- to either quickly pass the baton to balance, or resign gracefully in favor of their already eminently educated and qualified women, and also men as well as women of color and working class men, whose years of disinclusion should be all be rapidly remediated. That way, the "old boys" can culminate their public careers graciously, being remembered as gentlemen, instead of as graceless grabbers who needlessly endanger the world for the sake of their sexually insecure or mutuality-incapable egos. 50-63% presence of the male gender should be more than enough for any decent man; the women of political royalty must be among the first to say so or their silence on the matter is equally egregious now. Women and the fairer and younger at heart men of gender balance like the Rhodri and Julie Morgan couple of Wales, the Ewing Sisters of Scotland and their profeminist brothers, and Raymond Lloyd George of England and others in many other lands, are like Marion Braidfoot and her beloved husband William Wallace (Braveheart), and Maid Marion and Robin Hood, restored and reborn peacefully -- insisting simply on balance, partnership in peace, and freedom from the royal male-privilege domination --- not female domination. They show us what Abigail and John Adams would both be saying now, in time for July 4th in the US -- "This must be the time to 'Remember the Ladies'. Americans and Canadians must understand that if they do not do this now, everything they once gained in democracy and human rights protection from English royal privilege will be utterly lost. Without gender balance, not only the best sections of the US and Canadian Constitution and Bill of Rights, but also the Magna Carta, and also, both Gandhis' and Jinnas' and Meirs' and Nassers' -- male and female -- attempts to raise the level of all, especially the common person, male and female, in their countries, are effectively undone. Without gender balance, the men of the world become the eunuchs and the women the consumer-harem of a small club of male dominator male billionaires and CEOs. This is not freedom, and it will destroy nature and bring regression, famine and death. Malections were and are not real elections. Patriarchy as a viable method of government is over. Patriarchy hurts common men as much as it does women, and makes the world unsafe for all children. If officials do not transform from patriarchy to partnership, they and all will likely soon find their countries transformed from rich to declined and fallen, and the earth transformed from hospitable to uninhabitable. God/Nature will see to this, if necessary, but it would be the ultimate tragedy for earth. It is the failure to end patriarchy gracefully and willingly that invites "the fire next time". Any further public pretending -- by office-holders and by citizens -- that gender imbalanced officialdoms are real governments is an invitation to increasing global economic depression and environmental disaster. The true gender balanced government of the world already exists -- officially in many capitals, and most universities and civil life worldwide, in every region and continent. For the sake of earth's very life -- accept no substitutes as real "government". God/Nature have already voted for partnership, not patriarchy, in the new Millennium. That is the True Supreme Court for all the world, and that Judgement and Verdict is already "in". If it isn't gender balanced, it's domination that endangers both self and other, both nation and world -- not government. http://www.ipu.org/wmn-e/classif.htm http://www.guardian.co.uk/women/story/0,3604,952106,00.html http://www.engender.org.uk/scotparl/ http://www.un.org/womenwatch/osagi/fpgenderbalancestats.htm http://cm.coe.int/stat/E/Public/2003/adopted_texts/recommendations/2003r3.htm http://www.geocities.com/theuniversaldeclaration/thedeclaration.html http://groups.msn.com/shequality/_homepage.msnw http://www.geocities.com/inallherandhisnames/seeing.html http://www.idea.int/gender/index.htm http://www.wedo.org/news/Jul01/csw.htm http://www.geocities.com/ark_earthinbalance/home.html __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
