In recent years we at the
Metamode Institute have made an effort to monitor the use of our ideas and
releases by third party users accessing our site. We have noticed that individuals,
organizations and institutions throughout the world have deemed fit to use
our ideas in their own writings, speeches, and publications. As offered
to the world on a pro bono
basis, we have no objection to this use and are indeed pleased and honoured
by it. Nevertheless, we do have what we believe to be a reasonable expectation
when that occurs as stated below.
We at the Institute expect
that the individuals, groups, organizations, or institutions that avail themselves
of the ideas presented on this web site will have the integrity to appropriately
credit their sources. We believe that to do otherwise dishonours them, undermines, and belies the credibility
of their efforts and goals.
The Metamode Institute on
Public Policy, while not having a university charter, is, nonetheless, a
duly incorporated organization. Our goals involve the charting of new ways
for dealing with public policy issues, of envisioning new horizons for the
body politic, and of making its own modest contributions to the improvement
of the human condition. These are tasks which are not the sole prerogative
of the world of academia, the media, or mainstream public policy institutions
which over the years have simply churned out reports and studies reflecting
clearly the ideological philosophies and biases of the interest groups who
funded them, including the government of the day.
The tasks undertaken by the
Metamode Institute are first and foremost the prerogative of every individual
human being whose sovereignty as a person forms the sole sufficient condition
of the sovereignty we carelessly attribute to nations and their governments.
We thank you for visiting
our site and may you be inspired and moved to do likewise by striving to
make a difference in this world for the benefit of your fellow human beings.
