The Global Community Tribunal

What are you going to do during the year 2008 that will entitle you to the oxygen and other scarce resources you will be consuming? This is an important question. Earth is highly over-populated, our habitat threatened and natural resources dwindling. We can’t afford passengers any longer. If life to you, is just about satisfying your biological needs of feeding, drinking and sex, you are worth nothing to this world. You are only a liability. It would be better if you would make space for some more deserving person.

No, do not retaliate by saying that you are working your ass off or that you are providing so many others with jobs and a livelihood. They may be just as much a burden on this planet than you are!

No, you see, times have changed. During previous eras human life was important and valued. You could not value a human life in pecuniary terms. Sustaining human life by creating development and producing anything that would provide sustenance and fulfillment were reckoned to be worthwhile occupations.

In the meantime our numbers have escalated to the extent that Earth can hardly support us. We have used natural resources at such a rate that it is becoming depleted. The environment - our natural habitat - has been recked and raped by us that it may well soon not be capable of sustaining healthy, happy human living.

But the most important reason for human life losing its value, is the way in which we value and treat human life. People are murdered and killed for no reason at all. Politicians like George W Bush and Tony Blair have killed more than a million people for a few years of oil reserves. In Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe has unashamedly declared that that country can do with a smaller population. Mbeki of South Africa, his Minister and Commissioner of Police have no qualms about the murder of 20 000 people a year.

So, do you have a political cause? Don’t try to win your opponents over. Kill them! Look, we did it with Benazir Bhutto! If you’re a Muslem, God invites you to Paradise for killing off yourself and as many of His creation as possible. It would seem that even God considers human life worthless and a burden on creation!

So, don’t consider yourself any different. The cruel fact of the matter is that the world would be better off without you. So, unless you get out of your comfort zone and make your existence meaningful, you will remain worthless and just a burden on this planet.

What do I suggest you should do? Simple. Help to add meaning to human life by defending it. Promote our civilization, values and those things that are beautiful in human beings. Stop accentuating and bringing out that what is bad and ugly in all of us. Reduce your demand on resources and your impact on the environment.

Consider a post-modern dispensation where officials of the UN keep a close watch on you, me and the rest of humanity to identify and eliminate the oxygen thieves who do not contribute anything to our common good. They come around at night and eliminate those individuals who are of no positive consequence to this world. Working just to enrich ourselves or to maintain ourselves and our dependents, unfortunately do not impress them.

So, every night of 2008 when you and I go to bed, let’s ask ourselves the question: What did we do today to make ourselves indispensable and deserving to live tomorrow?
