The next leap forward in government will be when they outlaw leaders that are found guilty in the courts of law of repeating lies for political purposes, not in minor ways but after being challenged to modify or stop saying what is being said and is deliberately untrue. Diplomatic secrets should be outlawed. They are there to decieve the masses and the incompetence of politicians to deal with the truth. We need a body of influential people to work out the details of how the legal system can be framed so as to limit the power of leaders of ALL kinds, not just politicians, when that leadership is clearly intent on hiding the truth rather than dealing with it. And, in the short term only, (until those measures are in place everywhere) we need a world body that is capable of intervening on behalf of people when a government turns violently against the masses. you do not need a way - you can take out the culprits at the top mot the bottom with today’s technology. But it has to have a legal and popular framework before these weapons are unleashed along with sufficient warnings.

More than half of India’s children are daily malnourished. Rising food prices, the alarming decline in water tables and the potability of drinking water, the pollution of that water, of farmland, and of the air, climate change and the destruction of forests, are all combining to be a perfect storm of misery for hundreds of millions of people.
The cell phone economy and I.T. jobs of the aspiring middle class, will all collapse with rising oil and food prices.  Malnutrition will turn to outright starvation, increased infanticide, suicides, and violence. 
As the turmoil in the middle east has demonstrated, no government or society is immune,  and Pakistan and Bangladesh are teetering on the edge of chaos.
An increasingly dangerous time, given the weapons available.
