Inhaltsangabe

In Blueprint for World Peace, I argue for an overhaul of our global political structure which in its present state appears helpless to prevent the storm clouds of hostility from erupting into WWIII. The short-run solution lies in improving the relationship between the U.S. and China; the long-term solution requires something more serious---changing the way we perceive people from cultures "other" than our own. The second essay (Dealing with the Unfairness of Life) addresses a problem found in our own country and globally as well. It is the problem of equity and the role that luck plays in dividing a nation's citizens into haves and have-nots. I offer a solution. In the third essay (Criminal Justice and Free-Will) I confront the mess we have made of our criminal justice system by erecting it on a foundation of Hammurabi-style retribution rather than a more humane and effective basis of rehabilitation. The final essay (Walk on Water) explores the possibility that when seen through the lens of modern physics rather than the 17-18th century physics of Isaac Newton, miracles no longer need be seen as gifts of the gods or as violations of physical law. That in turn raises the possibility that paranormal events lie within the capability of all healthy human beings.
