[governance] Anti-Nationalism, Public Service & Voting Rights

[Eric Dierker]

Vanda,
 
I not only agree with you, being young and brash, I can even make the following statement:
"Given basic Human Rights we as humans are far more likely and inclined to do good, rather that wrong".  
 
I am not so naive to think there are not bad people or good ones that do bad. I am not blind that one man will mistreat his neighbor in a conflict and competition for more. And I have seen what the poverty of ignorance can cost a whole society. 
But more often I see:  Unlearned learn from wise, those that have,, give, those that thirst are quenched ---  If and only if the most basic rights of Speech, Assembly, Nondiscrimination and the right to Learn are present. Thus your platform is created.
 
In leading the thought, debate and action in Internet Governance I hope these good leaders continue to strive to lead by example and let all speak here, assemble here, be treated equally here so that all can learn. Even the wise from us unwashed.

I, with enough age to have seen some years of absence of freedom in the country ( though mild than our neiboughrs here in south america) , believe freadom is the basic asset any human being needs to live.  all other needs of assets will come with the help of this plataform.

Very cool emails on the cause of the "South", Rod's upcoming testimony and Human Rights. I think many should be proud and answer the recent q'aire in very much an affirmative when it comes to impact.  Personally my impact is never measured as I don't ask for anything except the freedom to speak. But I do demand my right to vote. And I do demand my right to enjoy public services just like anyone else.
 
A big thank you to all of you out there pushing the causes of a free society. And thank you for taking that vital time and effort to bend an ear or pound on a dinner table.
 
I do not agree with many of you, but I do agree to this:
Article 21.

(1) Everyone has the right to take part in the government of his country, directly or through freely chosen representatives. 
(2) Everyone has the right of equal access to public service in his country. 
(3) The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government; this will shall be expressed in periodic and genuine elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret vote or by equivalent free voting procedures.
