Actually, the world IS upside down, topsy-turvy and just plain wrong. There is state of war declared against us by Mother Nature.  We have those earthquakes a lot of us don’t pay attention to anymore and tsunamis.  Some tsunamis could begin just a short distance away.  We have global warming that may or may not have much to do with the number of weather storms we have summer and winter.  And, we have the disaster of our political systems that fall prey to fighting one another over old or perceived hurts, fighting that turns out to be a third world cataclysm instead of  local terrorist conspiracies or out and out civil wars to wrest control over incumbent plunderers of generic country’s treasuries or resources.

Let’s really turn the world upside down.  Let us look at it realistically.  What we see are countries trying to be born, fighting countries that were cobbled together out of former empires years ago.  Ethnic groups were crushed together to form new nations that never before existed.  Fighting, instead of cooperating to make the best of new conditions became the norm and it goes on and on.

In the last days of World War II and during the first heady days of the establishment of the United Nations Organization (that last was dropped) it was believed by some that we had achieved a world government.  Instead of world empires like the Roman, the Mongol, the Napoleonic and its descendant, the Hitlerian and the present ascendancy of the U.S., we would have world peace because we had a world government with its Security Council and General Assembly.  Instead of a League of Nations that was mostly a place to hold debates, there would be teeth in the United Nations.  The United Nations had a police force with Blue Helmets and could be sent on flying missions to hot spots around the world and dash water on them before they became too big.  In fact, feuds between nations and feuds between ethnic groups forced to live together within shaky nations could be adjudicated because there was a World Court.  It made sense.

I look at it this way. Let us turn the world upside down in a real revolutionary sense.  Let us give up our sovereignty to the UN and make it the One World Government for all the peoples that we once thought it was.  And, let us use our armies at home to quell hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis and shortages of fuel and food in those places where nature has failed us by causing draught or an overabundance of water.  Let us put our natural intelligence to work to bring food to the hungry and listen to the complaints of those who have been disenfranchised in a world that is hungry for the democratic process – rule by the people instead of people being ruled by dictators or single party apparatus’ controlled by the few who take care of their friends.  Let us try to make the UN our world government and turn the world upside down. It wouldn’t hurt to try.
