I see a lot of people on the internets esp. Ron Paul fanboy types who are militantly opposed to any form of globalization. WHile I am aware a good number of these likely have no idea, they just do it because... RON PAUL!!!!! but, there has to be an equally strong number of informed people who actually have an opinion on why a more interconnected world is a terrible idea.
Hell, I would go as far to say as some type of one world government, some type of senate so that no one country has too much power on another (some fear the thought of someone across teh globe telling us what to do.) Now I don't want to sound like some kind of conspiracy theorist, but most everyone agrees the world as we know it is eventually going to end somehow. Whether it be natural disaster, an alien force, self destruction, or for the religious: a dvine power; earth may very well be eventually doomed. How are we going to put together the effort to flee to another location in space if we are unable to all work together because we are too busy caring about our own skin? What about aliens? It is much easier to conquer someone who is weakened from fighting themselves than fighting a united enemy (yes I'm aware if aliens actually did attack we would probably unify, but by then it would likely be too late).
I don't know, there just seems to be too much militant patriotism from e-political analysts these recent days. Perhaps there's something I'm unaware of or misunderstanding, but I really don't see how a closer world both economically and if done correctly, politically is such an evil idea.
