Dr. Luis Cabrera on 1480 KPHX Air American this a.m. seemed to be advocating movement toward a one-world government. “Congress should be considering ways to transform the North American Free Trade Agreement into something closer to the European Union. That would include eventual free movement of workers…”
This seems to be a growing movement. It does seem to have some benefits, but I am not completely comfortable with it. I am suspicious of who reaps the benefits, the people or the corporate world.
I am inclined to support national sovereignty over world dominion. Our borders still provide some constraint, weak as it is, on global corporate “hands across the people” policies.
It seems to be about making the workers transportable to accommodate the international corporate world, rather than responsible sovereign governments encouraging and supporting employment for their citizens at home within their stable communities.
People are not goods, to be shipped where needed. Goods don't care, but people do care about the disruption of family and cultural ties, casually instigated to serve corporate needs. This advocacy of a fluid workforce seems to be supporting a permanent gypsy population, where uprooting people from their homes becomes accepted as a way of “doing business”.
Scary implications for families.

However in recent years, deep flaws have been exposed in our Republic, and I am hesitant to believe that our democratic example is ready for world primetime. Such a world government imposed today, with U.S. hegemeny over all nations, would quickly devolve from the Old Republic to the Galactic Empire. Our political systems appear to be hopelessly immature at present to pull off world government.
Of course, this scenario is fantasy, because U.S. style world government today would have to be imposed by force that we do not have, and at a cost we cannot afford. But don't tell that to a neocon.
