Mr. Garry Davis had a great dream and imagined a better world...we need more dreamers like him in positions of power who can build and spread peace, democracy and prosperity across all nations. We can start by instilling in our children an altruistic sense and a desire to give back to their community... -------------------- "Mr. Davis was not the first person to declare himself a world citizen, but he was inarguably the most visible, most vocal and most indefatigable. The One World model has had its share of prominent adherents, among them Albert Schweitzer, Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Einstein and E. B. White. But where most advocates have been content to write and lecture, Mr. Davis was no armchair theorist: 60 years ago, he established the World Government of World Citizens, a self-proclaimed international governmental body that has issued documents — passports, identity cards, birth and marriage certificates — and occasional postage stamps and currency. He periodically ran for president of the world, always unopposed."
