Welcome to Balkingpoints.com


What is this site?

I built Balkingpoints.com in 2009 as a World Citizen Forum site. If you scroll
down the Guestbook remarks you'll see it's received a fair amount of response,
from many corners of the world. For about 3 years a "Balkers" section was up
with posts from various blog writers, and at times good comments reaction
on them.

I still believe that in future decades the world forum concept will take hold
as a prominent genre on the WWW. As a medium the Internet amounts to
a quantum socio-political shift, not seen since the advent of the printing press.
It facilitates billions of people to connect across borders without gatekeepers
like corporate media & government. Ramifications thereof: nearly unlimited,
mostly yet unfolded, but on balance sharply positive. An inexorable catalyst
for transformation from less-just to more-just society, much as the printing
press was.

The initial blueprint was for site promos I was conducting in those years,
to give way to a more "viral" propulsion that might take the site massive.
My own efforts either haven't been enough to touch that off, or it's possibly
a thing ahead of it's time. Something like that...  

I will entertain serious offers for the domain. Reach me if you fit that bill.

Balkingpoints.com - Global Maxims

Cultures of the world are more different than alike,
but people of the world are more alike than different

In past generations, leaders of nations waged war over competing economic interests
In future generations, citizens of nations may make peace over common economic interests
