Sort of true, but it is also a charter for government power. < it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government. > When they can't even cut down a tree on their own property, freedom is a flickering candle in the wind.

Count the flow of cash to see how much of the power goes to government and how much to individuals and you'll see the truth.

I'd be much happier to see the USA superseded by an entity giving vastly more power to individuals. When somewhere offers such increased individual power, they'll see a tsunami of support.

Maybe ElM's ethanol-powered Brazil will make a transformation. It's highly unlikely, but perhaps possible.

Perhaps it'll be a federation of little places dotted around the planet.

Perhaps it'll be a cyberspace realm. That's the way I'm betting. Individuals would still be prisoners of the temporal world, but they'd be free to move around, like wandering Jews, still adherent to the motivating ideology. Attachment to landscape is dwindling as hundreds of millions if not quite billions now live largely detached from the roots of the crops which sustain them, unlike all of biological history.
