We women and men from various ethical and religious traditions commit ourselves to the following Universal Declaration of a Global Ethic. We speak here not of ethics in the plural, which implies rather great detail, but of ethic in the singular, i.e., the fundamental attitude toward good and evil, and the basic and middle principles needed to put it into action.

Beginning with the notion of diminishing resources and increasing population and then the influence of the Malthusian principle behind "sustainable production," the only way to improve the lot of all about the globe is the reduction in the non-producers or the net-consumers, as it were.

India is joining the WTO through copyright and patent agreements that will cut off the largest supply of generic drugs in the world, which will surely lead to more terminal sickness and deaths; the U.S. is rapidly accepting the idea that a life dependent is a life unworthy of support what with a steady abortion rate, more "right-to-die" cases coming down on death's side and dire warnings that our safety net is shredding from side to corner.

There may be an upside to this in the short run, perhaps a return to the so-called nuclear family, but, as we all can see, sometimes the work to keep it all together is just too hard, given all the opportunities to have fun.

Way back when, it was famously said that when there was dirty or unprofitable work to be done, or one was just plain lazy, that one should just, "Let George do it."

I think George has joined the union.
