Mankind is developed enough where we should no longer need territory

In the Rev. War, Britain was perfectly aware of problems the Colonists faced, as there where numerous revolts and paper editorials about it, they just didn't care. The civil war was a dumb economic mistake, which ultimately lead to a greater good. This is beside the point. The destruction of borders would not negate laws specific to the individual areas. Rather, the unification would act more like the United States, all joined under one common government, yet zoned so that they can have certain laws that apply to their direct needs. Your main concern seems to be that you believe economic trading with other places would be utterly destroyed, but this is not the case. Trade can take place just as easily from San Francisco to Las Angeles within California, as it can from San Fran to Las Vegas in Nevada. But I'm not talking about destroying the States of America's borders, so much as the different countries. This sort of unification has been used already, in both Europe and America, and when united, they developed a common currency. With the invention of the Euro, the European countries economy's that where joined boomed. America, as you may know, started out with several different currency's, with different exchange rates, but when America truly united after the civil war, and one currency was establish, it truly became the richest country in the world. Thus, on a global unification, and with the invention of a common currency, its highly probably that all the countries economy's would boom, rather than decline. The worlds wealth would be shared, and yes, even places like Africa could get a piece of the pie. Secondly, yes, I do see what you mean. After all, peace is an impossible idea. Exactly the same as how the warring countries of Germany, Japan, Britain, and America, could never be allies. After all, at some point or another, they all fought a war against each other. How could they ever come to a peaceful outcome? How silly of me. I thus conclude, that I do believe, that with serious time and effort, the worlds separate countries could all become unified and equal. One Global Nation, divided only on a map via zoning, rather than politcally. There would not have to be an special treatment for countries. Instead of several strangers behind walls roughly trying to tolerate each other, we could be a unified family, completely willing to take care of its own. Just like how people are individual, so too could the differing regions maintain their own special needs, while still being able to cater to the greater power. Yes, there will be bickering. Yes, there will be resentment. But out of these conflicts will come compromise. There are certain programs and plans, such as national insurance, and minimum wage, that can benefit the entirety of globe. There can also be programs that only certain zones require, while others do not, such as water management, and goods trade. I can see absolutely no reason why the human will cannot overcome the many childish arguments and resentments, that while they have existed in the past, are more and more being refuted and exiled, such as racism and feudal privileges. Mr. repete21, you have fought valiantly, and made many well thought and intelligently made arguments. I respect your opinions, while I may not fully agree. T' was an honor. And I'm sorry for your computer glich, I'm sure it would've blown me out of the water. To the reader, I hope I've presented my subject well. If I've done it right, I pray most, if not all of you, can see my perspective. Good luck with your decision. Darth_Grievous_42 out.
