Editor, The Times, Nanaimo, B. C., May 11, 1996.

In the April 16 edition of your newspaper, there was a column, by David J. Weston, titled: ``Driven to insanity. Ours is a culture pervaded by competition and violence.''

He says (we suffer from) ``...violence perpetrated by the political and economic system under which we struggle.'' Then, he adds another quotation: ``We are driven to acts of collective and personal insanity by the constraints of a system of our own devising...time is holding a good seed for the future which it will eventually reveal to us.''

I'm going to reveal that ``good seed'' in this letter to the editor! Read on!

Mr. Weston says, ``The challenge for us as humans is: Are we willing to question the political ideology that has been imposed on us by an elite, which drives us to violently compete with each other to their advantage.'' Hear! Hear!

It may relieve Mr. Weston, emotionally, to cite things that are wrong -- kind of like a Hyde Park spout-off -- but that doesn't present any solution.

What is urgently needed in these times of social disintegration is a blueprint of social operations that is in intellectual and technical accord with our new age of technology.

Technocracy has such a blueprint. It is time that every citizen make it a point to find out what that blueprint has to offer -- then get active; investigate this Organization's solution to get things moving in a sane direction.

Science applied to the social order -- versus politics and philosophy -- facts, not beliefs,'' is the power that will cause us to move, together,..............Technocracy represents the ``good seed.''
