how to end terrorism

This blog is called "how to save the world" and the news (here in Britain) is still dominated by the London bombing. So it might be helpful to point out that we don't have to have any terrorism if we don't want it.

Most authorities try to prevent terrorism by gaining more information about citizens. This can only work if they have a LOT of information. There are two ways to achieve this. The Stalinist way (you use propaganda, backed by massive force), or the land rent way.

Land rent leads to people choosing their own government, at an individual level. This leads to a very high level of trust. High levels of trust makes crime of any kind almost impossible.
