The writer of this blog has been occupied continuously with this proposition for almost 28 years, starting in middle age, and now just 80. He considers this relevant only to indicate the possibility of his knowing his subject, although at his age he may not be able to set it out as neatly as one might wish: the hope is that others may make the central ideas their own, and develop them from their own minds and understanding. Ideally, interested people would come and talk it out in person. He lives with some of his family in an old farmhouse with garden some 30 miles south of Dublin in Ireland, and welcomes anyone seriously interested who comes in peace and with some consideration for family and locality. No warning of visit desired, ask in the shop in Donard, County Wicklow for Hugh, who lives in Knockandarragh, and contact by email to sacker@eircom.net. Hugh realises that, if this catches on as he hopes, his life for a year or so will be very public, but he has plans for a transitional year anyway, and after that would very much hope to be left in peace for any time he may have left on earth, content with others to see the species united and full of hope at the end of his days. From a personal point of view it would be some compensation for all the problems his obsession has caused his family and friends.
