Boycott America? Not yet. We have seen the consequences of electing wrong presidents: rhetorics of fear, unjustified and dangerous preemptive wars, huge financing of friend's army industries at the expense of global agreements and institutions (the foundation for peace in the last 50 years) and the environment. It is time to make sure the right ones get onboard.

In an ideal world, ~30% of the votes in any country should be given to the world population. After all, citizens of other countries are directly affected by one country's foreign policy, which makes them stakeholders in elections. This probably will not happen for a while, but as the current US administration proved it can be a danger to the world, it is everyone responsability to help countries elect officials that will care for their population as well as for the good of the global civil society in the longer term.

The internet makes this more possible. Watch and buy:

Child's pay
What are we teaching our children
What I have been up to..
