No, what we need to do is erase needless borders , pool resources , and move resources quickly from where they are in excess to where they are desperately needed, without regard to the imaginary lines that are borders. If the only way to get the right to intervene in a disaster is by joining countries together, then that is what we must do. And if the only way to gather resources enough to do the work of the world is by joining together rich countries first, then that too we must do. But it's not all bleak, heavy responsibility. Creating an enormous Union to do the good and necessary things no one is doing now is a great adventure , and the resulting Union will make all its citizens enormously proud.
Great countries call for greatness in their people.
Americans must rise to the challenge posed by a world of division, grotesque poverty, and chaotic violence . We are the world's only superpower, and we must use our power, not sit on it. We must welcome into the Union both people who can help us with our enormous responsibilities, and people who need our help. We will all get a bigger country we can be even prouder of than we are of the 50-state United States of today or any of the other countries we admit to our Union. Overpopulation is this planet's No. 1 problem , but it is not the only problem.
