Forum for the Fundamentalist Review of Science, Art and
Philosophy
AGRICOLA 2000
Cultivating the land is fundamental to existence. The good
health of land needs to be maintained with care to nourish the
seeds into good harvest.
Neglected land yields only weeds.
It is the living generation's task to keep the human culture
healthy, free of weeds, wild shoots and suckers to ensure it will
provide the strong and pristine foundation to build on by
generations to come.
The harmony of good foundation with superstructure is the
guarantee of endurance.
In our world and time the personal insecurity is rampant, there
are too many grievances, too few opportunities, too much of
bizarre and violent, too little beauty and contentment.
The good common sense exists only in memories.
Poor leadership, rampant fringe interests, socio-economic
instability and weapons of global destruction pose too many
threats to the individual, human collective and culture.
The culture and world we live in need to be reviewed, weeded
and renewed.
You are invited to participate in the task.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Adopted and proclaimed by General Assembly resolution 217 A (III) of
10 December 1948
PREAMBLE
Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and
inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of
freedom, justice and peace in the world,
Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous
acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world
in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom
from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common
people,
Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as
a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights
should be protected by the rule of law,
Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations
between nations,
Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed
their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human
person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote
social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,
Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation
with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance
of human rights and fundamental freedoms,
Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the
greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge.
