This is a phrase I coined many years ago ... ...
A culture of excellence ... What is it anyway? ... 
... It is a culture that strives from its deepest core to always do the "right thing"! ...
It is a culture that enables everyone to be the "best that they can be"! ...
It is simply put a culture of Moral Compasses! ...
Is such a culture possible? ... ... Yes, indeed ... I do believe! ... 
... The promise that such a culture holds for the future of the world is simply mind-boggling! ...
Can YOU imagine? ... ... I have strived all of my life for excellence ... From the deepest part of my being,
that is what drives me ...
...
I wish to see the day the world embraces this culture from the depths of its soul ... The people of the world of "one-mind," but only as it relates to this culture of excellence! ...
Can YOU imagine? ... ... Isn't that what
John Lennon sang about? ...
Sometimes, "the world is too much with me" ... and I "despair" ...
But, from the depths of my being I continue to strive ... ...
To be continued ...

The World is Too Much With Us The World is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers:
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon,
The winds that will be howling at all hours
And are up-gather'd now like sleeping flowers,
For this, for everything, we are out of tune;
It moves us not.-Great God! I'd rather be
A pagan suckled in a creed outworn,-
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathd horn.
-- William Wordsworth Imagine Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...
Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...
Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

I wouldn't take the words literally in all instances cause I do believe in heaven ...
But ...
What
John Lennon was getting at ... well, it's nice to
"imagine" ...
----------
Everyone has a vision of
"The New World Order" and not everyone agrees, but let me simply say that it is capital and power and elitism that control much of what
we, the people, do not yet see, but
it is wisdom and experience,
and most importantly, it is character and heart, in short,
Moral Compasses, with God's help, who will lead the way to
a new way of living on this Earth ...
And, I for one can hardly wait ...
The power of the media and the printed word as well as movies and documentaries and other significant means of communication that will guide us all in the days ahead ... must be recognized and embraced,
hopefully by Moral Compasses ...
I
trust there are journalists and artists of all stripes who will step forward and lead us all to
the "promised land" ... however we each define all of the concepts we must each learn to recognize and embrace as we move into the future that most certainly is going to greet us all sooner than any of us think ...
And ... that, my friend, is my
"inspired" response to your most worthy post! ...
Thankyousoooooverymuch for visiting! ...

I copied this from the thread started by
"food for thought" ...
I thought it fit in quite nicely here ...
You see ... my thinking regarding
the "New World Order" is not so new ... I have been thinking about it for a very long time ... I remember when
former Representative from Arkansas Asa Hutchinson ran a Forum, we discussed the concept over many months ...
A culture of excellence as my vision of a "new world order" is NOT new! ... --------------------------------------- ---------
