luminous manifesto: Society Improvement

No, this is not "tool time" for politics - however many a man and woman "in charge" would do well to hear (or rather read) me out...

And then hire me as counsellor!
;)

How dare they lament my alleged "lack of hands-on experience" - when I have observed for so long now, I know their all of their tricks inside and out!

I know them better than they know themselves!
Vipers!

Ah, if I pulled the strings, behind the scenes... If I wielded the true power, yes - what wonders you would see, dear everyman and dearer everywoman out there!
;)

I tell you; Jesse Ventura has nothing on me (not even the body! Certainly not the mind - MUCH LESS the incandescent soul! Woooooooo! But I am digressing...)

And this Luminous Manifesto shall stand as the one and only of its kind - for it is not about dreaming nor is it about "Secrets Behind The Secret" either...! For HERE you obtain practical, factual, logical LUMINOUS ADVICE! The sort of advice that can reshape the world - and shape it up! Everything else... may be found here, also - but as a no-extra-charges bonus type of thing!

Be thankful for that! For all of it!

For the world needs such assistance at this point in time - it has reached a point from which there can be no return...

And so HERE I COME TO THE RESCUE! ;)

Don't thank me all at the same time, now... please!
After all, I will not divulge ALL the answers here and now - this is but a tiny sample package of clues, leads, avenues to explore for the betterment of ALL: but, for the full answers, you will have to pay the FULL PRICE as well!
That can be discussed later - and in private!
;)

Aye, here are but a few elements from my LUMINOUS REFORM PLANS...

* RENTAL PROPRIETY REGULATIONS

No longer would just any schmoe off the street be able to acquire property without being duly and meticulously PREPARED to do so - I am sure that, due to my long list of pre-requirements, the schlocks seeking only to make a fast buck off anyone willing to pay any price just for the luxury of having a roof over their heads, would get discouraged and give it up!

This plan would create JOBS - those of trainers for this NEW BREED OF LANDLORD WITH A CONSCIENCE, A HEART AND EVEN A BRAIN - THE BREED OF THE FUTURE! And those of inspectors also, who'd check on the few graduates and the pre-program landlords, mostly, to make sure they are NOT misbehaving in accordance to my new set of very rigid rules...

For instance - they would each select a SPECIALTY - and not be able to rent to anybody outside that established customer-base. Mixing and matching only makes for TROUBLE - you cannot expect the elderly to live nextdoor to bums! You can rent to bums - but then, your entire building will be BUMS ONLY! Capisce?
And just so that everyone gets the same prices, the bums would not be found paying lower rent than the elderly or low-income families - even if they are in a dump! Bums deserve dumps - agreed? Cool.

* TRADITIONAL JOBS REFORM

I would also re-establish some ancient job definitions that have, quite erroneously, been thought of as too archaic and even obsolete in recent years...

The Apothecary sounds SO MUCH BETTER, for instance, than the "druggist" or even pharmacist... The former retains a dignified aura that the more modern terms simply have not; and, besides, whenever "drug" is a part of the name, the mental image of a street pusher comes to the fore... That tarnishing is beyond repair now.

Also on my list: every artisan profession you can think of! For there will be an accrued demand for "hand-made products" when the New Earth arises from the ashes of the old, polluted, dilapidated one...

Last but definitely not least, an elite corps of new municipal workers would be established to further help cleanse the community - yes, you've guessed it, I proclaim the return in full force of the WITCHFINDER GENERAL position - along with his three, four or five deputees (up to a maximum of seven! A nod at my old Luminous Equation, aye; "Three Musketeers + Four Horsemen = Luminous Magnificent Seven!)

* WHATEVER AREA OR FACET OF LIFE IT IS - NO MORE JUDGING THE BOOK BY ITS COVER!

Ah, but the problem with this one is that most folks who preach for this STILL DO IT! Everyone, even I, is a prisoner to his senses and chief among those are the eyesight, to make a quick overview-type of evaluation, and the sense of hearing also, for the very same reasons... We are too quick to evaluate someone based upon the way he or she looks and sounds - whether a prospective employee or a prospective "mate"! We classify as "good" what is not, and vice-versa! So, I propose a radical change in proceedings here, one that will take much effort and call for the utmost DISCIPLINE just in order to "stick to it"...!

We have to evaluate through a MUCH, MUCH, MUCH THOROUGH AND RIGOROUS set of criteria; and this in a manner devoid of any prejudice, discrimination of any kind and favoritism/nepotism also, of course.

If we can achieve that, my son(s) (and daughters!) we will have become A MAN! Or a woman. Make that AN ENLIGHTENED SOUL - there!

I am not holding my breath for most of you peeps out there, though!
Oh no I'm not!
