Hi Pete
I'm not a member of Zeitgeist movement. I just watched the movies. Well made movies - mabe a few errors in there, but generally very good at trying to deal with lots of subjects etc.
I had a look at your e-book. Nice work. Some nice ideas. I think you mentioned something that seemed to be suggesting that if people want to vote for stuff in a political system (e.g. democracy) then the technology exists for them to vote via their tv remote controls. Absolutely agree. What you'd get there, is, people interested in a particular debate, would certainly vote. People who didn't bother to vote, would certainly begin to vote when they saw that things weren't happening to their satisfaction. Basically this works like a free market. Nobody can hijack the system.
Mike Gravel - senator for Alaska when running for usa president last year actually proposed something like this during a long interview. (Mike Gravel knows how rotten the system is and he actually tells people too - in public - at least, during this interview he did).
Having said all that, I don't like systems of government. Personally I think democracy is a crappy political philosophy. Republic may be a bit more sensible i guess if you must have a government. Remember Aaron Russo said that a democracy is like 2 wolves and a sheep sitting at a table discussing what's for dinner. He then said in a republic, the sheep would have a gun. Quite nice image.
Now, during your ebook, it seemed you may be a bit concerned about CO2 emissions. Be very careful here. (Of course you can believe what you want to believe), but distinguish between CO2 emissions and actual pollution - e.g. mercury in rivers and toxic chemicals in the air and so on. That is pollution.
CO2 is not a toxin - in the sense we mean here.
What has happened here with this "global melting" rubbish is that politicians have been allowed to dictate what science is. If that continues, we will end up in the dark ages - guaranteed.
This global climate shite is not based on science. There is no science to indicate either way. (In fact there is some science which may be indicating that we may be entering a cooling period).
This climate change rubbish is pretty easy to see through.
John Christie happens to be a real scientist - you may know of him. (Just one example of lots of real scientists trying to demonstrate real science instead of corporate propaganda)

http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/greenhouse_data.htmlSorry about going on about this - mabe you are already aware of what this climate panic is all about - I dunno.
Anyway, I enjoyed reading your ebook and I think it seems sensible enough to me....... A decent start, at least. You're right, that things will have to go through a gradual transition to a better state. - The masses couldn't handle being free all at once.
Thanks for telling me about it.
Cheers for now
