Here is my vision. A world without armed forces, police and corrections officers. That would mean Earth would be free of inpatient mental asylums, jails, and prisons. The road to such a future vision will be arduous to achieve but I layout a sketchy pathway below. We need to start this program as soon as possible.
One of the keys to attaining my future vision is to teach children and parents that all power is corrupting, and that gentle persuasion is optimal and find decent and reliable alternatives to corporal punishment. Also, it is my experience that a lot of bullies and control freaks find their way into wielding power over people in all the positions of civil and military authority. Well that is okay but let us identify all the bullies early in life and teach them much better coping and living skills.
Start educating children from birth and hopefully generate lifelong learners in the process. Teach parenting skills to children at exceedingly early ages and encourage males and females to avoid having children until the stage is set to create a family. These are incredibly difficult marching orders, but humanity is capable of dramatic and loftier heights of good and empathetic behavior.

My whole legal name is James Pate Williams, Jr. I was born in LaGrange, Georgia approximately 70 years ago. I barely graduated from LaGrange High School with low marks in June 1971. Later in June 1979, I graduated from LaGrange College with a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry with a little over a 3 out 4 Grade Point Average (GPA). In the Spring Quarter of 1978, I taught myself how to program a Texas Instruments desktop programmable calculator and in the Summer Quarter of 1978 I taught myself Dayton BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) on LaGrange College's Data General Eclipse minicomputer. I took courses in BASIC in the Fall Quarter of 1978 and FORTRAN IV (Formula Translator IV) in the Winter Quarter of 1979. Professor Kenneth Cooper, a genius poly-scientist taught me a course in the Intel 8085 microprocessor architecture and assembly and machine language. We would hand assemble our programs and insert the resulting machine code into our crude wooden box computer which was designed and built by Professor Cooper. From 1990 to 1994 I earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from LaGrange College. I had a 4 out of 4 GPA in the period 1990 to 1994. I took courses in C, COBOL, and Pascal during my BS work. After graduating from LaGrange College a second time in May 1994, I taught myself C++. In December 1995, I started using the Internet and taught myself client-server programming. I created a website in 1997 which had C and C# implementations of algorithms from the "Handbook of Applied Cryptography" by Alfred J. Menezes, et. al., and some other cryptography and number theory textbooks and treatises.
