You're touching a delicate nerve indeed! Gustave, Yeah, I know I'm taking a chance out there because I'm sure to be labeled a pawn of the NWO. And to tell you the truth, I don't know if we can ever achieve world gov't under our own hands without blowing ourselves up in the process. But being the eternal pragmatic optimist, I figure why not try. And I'm certainly not going to compromise the rights and freedoms we have in our US constitution to do it. As far as I'm concerned, anything less than that constitutional framework of gov't isn't worth achieving and would become a peril to MY freedoms. I recognize the eventuality of world gov't, but rather than lowering our expectations and compromising our freedoms as Americans to achieve it, the rest of the world will have to raise THEIR sights as to what they can achieve. (And there are nations that have achieved that, such as Canada, UK, France, Japan, and others...) World gov't cannot come at the expense of American personal freedom. But Gustave, I so very much agree that people fighting over acres of muddy or rocky ground is ludicrous. Unfortunately, that ground is often painted with religious overtones as we've seen in Jerusalem and Kosovo. Regards, Ron
