Re: The Team

Until, and unless, you can provide names, CV, etc., this is equal to smoke and mirrors.

You say it goes on and on, but there's nothing to check, no way to verify.

It's you, pretty much alone, telling the world what wonderful things are going on, offstage.

There are lots of people who've gotten laws passed, lots of Ph.Ds in the world, lots of people who've worked with UNESCO, lots of psychologists; in private practice.

None of those things, by themselves, is worth a thing. Beucase they don't speak to those people's suitability to the "plan" you've put together.

Who have you got that's ever staged a snatch and grab? Who have you got who has ever run a boarding school (much less started one)? Have you anyone who knows how to speak to the girls you plan to steal away? How do you plan to supply the island? If you are going to grow your own food, who will do that?

How will you provide for water? What about serious medical care; in event of emergency (you need either a plane, chopper, or clinic; capable of minor surgery, and the staff to make it useful).

Who will design the curriculum? What of paying the people who are providing all these services? How about replacing people who decide it's not for them?

You've got a dream. When you are asked you say the answers are out there. Well I've looked, and I don't see answers. I see hints, promises and hand waving. Doctors are "being sourced" islands are being procured, people are being talked to and a "teacher who has written a law and had it passed in the USA" is on board."

Whoopee. One teacher. Is this person going to move to your island paradise? Or just provide moral support and guidance?

This thing you are proposing is huge. Even if it were a good idea, the costs in getting started are huge (and that leaves out the idiocy of the breeding compound/nature preserve). Maintaining it won't be cheap either.

Reearch on how to design a self-sustaining ecology in a system so small as an island (much less without destroying the system which already exists) alone is an expense I don't think you can manage.

You've made the proposal. That means you get to defend it. Saying "hey, if you don't like my idea, come up with something better; and if you don't then leave me alone," is twaddle.

Not having something better doesn't mean your idea isn't shite.
