George Noory (AM COAST TO COAST) did a whole show on this topic last night, extremely interesting.
I have no problem with opening the borders, everyone having the same currency and forming a "new world" or the like. However, I would object to the way it appears to be getting done.
I would argue that freedoms, having all people live a decent lifestyle and not destroying the middle class or lowering standards of living as the beginning of a greater world.
To tear down freedoms, allow fewer choices, expect the countries who have higher standards of living to drop those, to destroy education and to keep the workers and working class down, would in fact cause more problems, create more angers, prejudices and rebellions. So much so, I fear the world would be thrust into a dark ages again. Maybe to the point that all technology, medical knowledges etc. would be lost.
I understand free markets and capatilism in it's purest form, but that is NOT what we are seeing, IMHO. What we are seeing and experiencing as the powers that be try so hard to unify the world, is greed, destruction, taking away rights and calling rights "priveleges, that can be revoked", brainwashing people to believe that these issues are ok and acceptable.
As it stands now and having heard the show last night, no, I think that any unification is wrong until we, as a world, move forward and better lives, standards of living for all and get the greedy and self serving fucks out of power.
We have the technology, the space and the means to make sure there is no famine, no poverty and still maintain a class structure. Just because people aren't hungry and get a free education, doesn't mean that they will have no drive, as many neo-cons have been brainwashed to believe. This doesn't also mean that society has to give anything away for free.... it means if a person works hard, they are entitled to be at least able to live in a standard that they can afford and maintain.
The way the neo-cons have been brainwashed and the powers that be think is that noone deserves to live in the above mentioned way unless they have the education and job to do so. Therein lies the problem, if people cannot afford the education or have to take jobs that pay shit wages and have to pay the student loans and barely afford to live, they can't truly move upward now can they?

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
