Observable evidence would highly suggest, with almost absolute certainty that humanity as a whole is good, but there is an element of evil that cannot be eradicated fully on this physical earth, ever.
I agree to this point 100%. For the community to determine who is evil and decide from who the community needs to be protected, I think we require some centralised and independent body to determine who is evil and how the community needs to be protected from such evil. Such centralised independent body could be implemented differently than we have today, maybe with direct voting for members, and members rotating, maybe by combination of suggestions made by such body and community voting.
I would encourage any idea that promotes solid principles of individual freedom. Speaking from an historical perspective, this concept is impossible. Even in the short term. Why? Because mankind has an Achilles heal .. or heals! Lust, power, envy, resentment, distrust and on and on. True peace cannot be reached without knowing where it comes from to begin with. So, that is the question.. where does "Peace" come from? Lets go there! :) Peace and grace to you beautiful soul.

That would be great! Although I don't think 100% freedom is ever possible. Caring for our loved ones is something that in my book belongs to creating overall and individual happiness, but not always we like to help and support that family member or friend or even our own child at that given point in time, therefore one can never be 100% free. Also we have to have some rules with our community members, our neighbours, with those we live side by side. We always have to respect the other, and by giving that respect, we loose some of our freedom.
Super topic! Not sure though where it comes from. I know that it starts at myself. I think we first need to love ourself, then we can love others. When we know what real love is, then we can understand the true meaning of respect. And when we understand that, we are able to create peace, for ourself, for and with others. But I must say, I need to think this through further to understand better how I think Love, Respect and Peace are influencing each other, and how to stimulate this in others around us.

Agreed--Super Topic!!! Love is always the answer and loving the self is the place to begin. We will not achieve freedom, in my opinion, until we address our own dysfunctions and take responsibility for making personal change. Also, raising a new generation of loving, empowered children is our future, so parenting is key. We must look at all the ways we influence, control, manipulate, coerce, bribe, indoctrinate and suppress them--which takes an incredible amount of insight and dedicated focus. Moving away from the things that simply entertain us and keep us distracted will free lots of energy to do the real work. Instilling a sense of well being will be natural when we ourselves are well.
