I think that the idea of one big government to control us all is fucking scary! Holy crap. That's the last thing we want... right now we are all screwed and
gov't is the last thing we need. We need people to come together, in a way that de-centralizes power back to the people. I don't know yet how it could work in such a way to keep the ones who desire power for power's sake (because they do and always will exist, thanks SageTree) but the only way we can prevent it from happening is DEFINITELY to cooperate as citizens. I think the whole "globalization" of our world is totally backwards. We no longer rely on our land as a source of life. It is now just this big chunk of rock, trees, plants, animals, soil, etc (individual things, note) which we commodocize and and extract and sell for a nonexistent number on a piece of paper (which in our backwards economy is supposed to be worth more than the tree or rock or whatever it is made from or is bought with it is actually is worth). We need to finally universally recognize that the earth is a living thing that we are a part of. We need to not only cooperate with each other, we MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST cooperate with the land.
I know this is a bit all over the place, but i tried to work it all together from my head, sometimes that can be hard.
