DJ, we've started! <re NUN, you can count on my help. When do we start?> It's an idea percolating and germinating. A meme incrementally suffusing the world. People are automatically becoming attuned to it as their friends and family intermarry all over the place, live and work all over the place, travel all over, trade all over, depend on a globalized trade system, financial systems and a multitude of interlinking. We don't need to have a revolution. Gently, people will just come to accept that it's a better way to run things than the eons-old alpha male territorial kleptocratic tribal dominance hierarchies with slaves, serfs, barons, lords and kings in which wealth was largely found [fish, wild animals, forests, minerals, agricultural lands and tribute to the rulers]. Okay, a bit of a revolution would be okay, once enough people like the idea. There would be a cusp of history and when something like half the world, or maybe 70%, like the idea, it'll become conventional wisdom and the geopolitical interactions will flip over in a major paradim shift to globalization as the modus operandi of choice. The process has been under way for a century, more or less. The League of Nations was an attempt. The UN a better one. It's time for the UN to get a rebore, a coat of paint, new upholstery and a tank of Iraqi and Kuwaiti oil, with funding from the oil consumers. Mqurice
