So disabled people? What do you want?

 - World peace. I'd like to see humanity move past war as a means of settling arguments through the creation of or perhaps the adaptation of the UN into a body that mediates international disputes making countries find a peaceful solution using persuasion, censure, cultural and economic sanctions supported by a world of nations working in concert.

- Reversing climate change.

- Curing pain. I'd like to see medicine advance so that no one should have to live in pain or with reduced capacity.

- Ending poverty. There's more than enough for everyone. No, Tarquin, you can't run your private jet while kids down the road are going without food.

- Build communities based on love. Friendship, tolerance, humour, compassion and romance. That's what we all should feel when we think of the place we live.

- Colonise space. Solve the FTL problem and find secure exciting frontier settlements for the adventurous to build new lives.


"Hold on," you say, "how can we possibly give you all that?"

Oh you misunderstand. We're not asking for you to give us all that. We're asking you to stop getting in our way while we work on giving you all that.


You're welcome.
