No need to justify as far as I'm concerned. Bring on globalization!

But you'd better put on those flame-proof underwear... the Buchanan Brigade might drop in.

Ohhh, I'd say that it's a safe bet that wherever there's someone choosing the more economically efficient product, there's some PB brownshirts close by wanting to shut that freedom down. ;-)

There are many of us who are unemployed because of things like this. It's not funny. Learning how to do more than 5X the normal technical skills of our previous generations of engineers, only to see those skills become meaningless??

It is not funny at all, and Pat Bechannon has nothing to do with it.

It would be like this, I think.

When an assortment of states, like our 50 for instance, hold legal sway over a central government, like the fed for instance, a party seeking to take that union over and remake it would have to conquer and occupy each of those 50 states.

With a central government holding sovereign will over its member states, all such a party would have to do is take over the central government. Works the same on a global scale.

A global sovereignty, with all resources under a Hydraulic Empire, would be so much worse, we would lose the meaning of "bad". Power brings out the evil in men's hearts.

I'd just as soon give up any pleasant aspects of global sovereignty to avoid that one bad one. Man has not been able to govern himself for millennia, but to have him not be able to govern himself globally rises the stakes much too high.
