In ‘Issues and Challenges’ I have presented my opinions about several matters I consider need unemotional discussion, not to cram those opinions into the minds of others but to introduce them to others, with the aim of provoking the needed discussion and, if possible, consensus.
Looking disinterestedly at the current western democracies, it is difficult to be pleased with what one sees with their silly, almost childish, squabbles and, often, their concentration on emotional matters that are really of little importance to the future of the human race. Other leadership systems that have been tried – fascism, communism, religious leadership, hereditary royalty, and leadership based on wealth or military power – have all shown themselves to have even worse flaws than democracy in the past, and, where still practised as they are in North Korea, in China and in the Middle East, continue to show flaws. Is it possible that the main shortcoming with all these systems does not lie in the systems but with the human animals leading those systems, and those that give those leaders their power? Is it possible that the human animal is a squabbling, conniving, greedy, militant and inherently nasty creature, and that humanity living peacefully on our planet Earth, and advancing science, art and architecture, is only a pipe dream? On the other hand is it possible that the negative traits of humanity can be kept under control? Could balanced, universal education bring about a better humanity, a humanity that could live in productive peace for a fulfilling future on our one and only planet? Or are we doomed to continue despoiling the planet, and will we continue to kill each other with our ever more sophisticated weaponry? Humanity needs to examine these matters and to arrive at answers.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Chiron Media, Wallingford, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
