Debate between New York (Charlie Rose Space) and Bethesda (HQ of open space, future history, phosynthesis energy scriptwriters and roundatble hosts) and DC, ecosaintjames and London (hubworld for organisational democracy, US alumni of deep democracy and carnivals as a way local communities connect with joys of global innovations)

I have been reflecting on Bush's open space race to end addiction to petroleum economics. This connects with these Charlie Rose Threads http://boards.charlierose.com/board/forum.asp?fi=24 -see page 2, 3 if not on page 1:
-the role of Exxon - this thread
-the threads on Thomas Friedman, eg Green is Next Red, White & Blue
-the threads on Norman Augustine and other nap.edu advisers to the President's Gathering Storm

It seems that everything converges on one missing question which someone needs to brief Charlie on: are you on 6-year race or a 25 year race

We can assume - even from its current advertising campaiogn - that Exxon is on a 25-year race and will do everything it takes to spoil the 5 year race. If I am wrong, and that is not why CEO Raymond is one of Bush's 20 Gathering Storm leaders, please do inform me.

Let's be clear: the 25 year race uses patents and other blocks to collaboration everywhere that money can pay for them; it is entirely possible through photosynthesis energy to turn the corner on America's addiction to petroleum energy within 6 years, but it will take the mother of all collaborations. On my side I am happy to write to the 21 presidents men and women to ask which race-timeliene they are on and to publish replies or lack of them. If you believe there are other people I should include in this open survey, please say who they are. Or mail me at wcbn007@easynet.co.uk if you have any ideas on what we ordinary people can do to cheerlead those who are on a 6 year race.

This mail ilustrates why a key question every intercity ambassador needs to relentlessly explore is what 2012 timelines will the world miss unless our citizens mobilise the future that is already happening around what we know most or most passionately wish to train for. London has already decalared 2012 to be a carbon-free olympics; for this to happen we must collaborate with anyone else on this smae timeline to end petroleum economics addiction. Is your city in or out of tis open space race?

Worldwide, club of city supports collaboration and networkers: to pose serious questions, notably on future curves that seem to be trending down in many places and communities. How do all peoples and media 1 2 3 turnround such examples as:
  • Healthcare – ever increasing costs
  • Children – increased family strain, lost safety of community
  • Professionals- loss of Hippocratic oath, ever more bureaucratic
  • Water – Clean water is getting scarcer
  • Transport – getting slower
  • National Government – Increasingly powering over instead of facilitating what people need next Mass media – dumbing down, loss of social space and transparent debates
  • Food chain – cost of good for you food going up
  • Nations Cultures- love of each other’s diversity going down
  • Pensions (investment in sustainable growth) – going down
  • Adult confidence in making a difference with lifelong learning potentials – seems to be going down
  • Insurance – cost going up, learnings across biggest tragedies seem increasingly blocked
  • Underclass – compounding underclass- their loss of hope in life and mutual risks to all of us in a hi-connected world
  • NGOs/Charity – Global*Local infrastructure further removed from depth of grassroots needs in crisis or sustainability turnround challenges
    We are interested in any city network that either recognises any of these as a problem which it wants to question or has some answers they are happy to share with the world
