| ~ Idea 1851 ~
There is a project to make of the Presidio in San Francisco a second world center for the United Nations on the US West Coast I suggested to the sponsors that they could also consider making it a center the Pacific Community. Earlier in these 2000 ideas I have expressed the view that we should go beyond what the military have done with NATO, with SEACOM and other regional military alliances. We should create peace and cooperative alliances of all the riparian countries of the seas and oceans of this planet: a PACOM, Pacific Community, a NACOM, North Atlantic Community, a SEACOM, South East Asia Community, a MEDCOM, Mediterranean Community. This could be the basis for a new world community tomorrow. The military themselves could consider transforming their military regional alliances into peace communities, because soon they will not have anything to do anymore in an increasingly peaceful world.

We need peace for disarmament
And we need vision for peace.

I once said to John Denver that in my view peacemakers and peace-institutions were marginal and powerless because evolution did not want us to go too fast.
He responded:
"This is no longer true. There is such an upswelling of consciousness in people all around the world today that peacemakers and peace-institutions will soon have the upper hand."
Indeed, he is right. Only individuals have life. Without them institutions are empty shells. The main agents of peace and cooperation are therefore the five billion people inhabiting this planet.

"I think that people want peace so much that one of these days government had better get out of their way and let them have it."
Dwight David Eisenhower, 1959
