1. Gross human rights violations are a sufficient justification for a country to bring down a tyranny by military force even when there is no consensus within the international community.
2. It is justified to use military actions (strike, intervention and occupation) to foster the economic interests of a country.
3. There is a danger of over-using military force in "the war against terrorism" so that the effects may become counter-productive.
4. The present way of global economic liberalisation fostered by IMF, World Bank and WTO is focused too much sole on the terms of global capital, at the expense of local communities, consumers, producers and workers.
5. The present political and economic system of the USA should be adopted by all the other countries in the world.
6. The present US electoral system is in need of a fundamental reform, based on preferential voting and / or proportional representation.
7. Abortion, when the life of the mother is not in danger, should be illegal.
8. Practice has shown that drug policy based mainly on restrictions and punishments creates more damage than benefits. It also contradicts the values of individual freedom.
9. A house of the people, inside the United Nations, elected by a worldwide free and fair elections would further assist democratisation of non-democratic countries.
10. A global greenhouse gas tax, to generate a stable and independent funding for the United Nations, would be an idea worth exploring.
