It's easy to understand tpaine by his name sakes, "common sense" essay regarding the status of men.
According to Thomas Paine the only distinctions between humans should be natures distinction, man and woman. Economics and Royal title should not separate them. Which is one silly little communist view of man's equality, in my opinion.

Several things separate and define men, ability, ambition, language and nation, which are God given. God confused the languages, and spread humans across the planet with their own languages and sovereign nations for a reason, He wanted to protect man from the results of the kind of one world globalism that this thread discusses, and God attempted to protect all men equally.

While all individuals have God given rights, not all men appreciate or understand them, some don't even want them and prefer to be ruled without much regard as to the character of the ruler.

At the time of the Tower of Bable, all mankind was under the rule of Nimrod, there have been several would be Nimrods since then, but few in history able to rule the entire world as will the coming global dictator that this thread promises as a result of Free Trade globalism.

It is a net and a snare that we as a nation should avoid and stay out of, and one that I doubt we have the intelligence, integrity, or backbone to do. I look around in wonder at the state of "conservatism" today, and have to remind myself that God did not find ten good men in Soddom. "My people perish for lack of knowledge", and I'm doubting we have ten million patriots in the USofA, aware and willing to devote the time and effort to rally and/or petition D.C. not to sign the FTAA treaty.

A most thoughtful post, MAPie.

...and I'm doubting we have ten million patriots in the USofA, aware and willing to devote the time and effort to rally and/or petition D.C. not to sign the FTAA treaty.

If we had those ten million aware and willing activists citizens, I would rejoice. You ever listen to C-SPAN's Washington Journal? The caller lines are very polairzed, with nut-cases on one side to extremists on the other. Doesn't matter which side is which.

You and me, that makes two. I'll bet we could find a few others on this forum to start a letter campaign.
