Does this mean we are somehow threatened by this trend? Not immediately, local municipal
government runs nicely under the umbrella of provincial and state government. Provincial
and State governments have lots to do and can accomplish great things within federal
nation states. So it is that nation states will find a way to work harmoniously and
responsibly as members of a world. What will change is that world toleration for
injustice, exploitation and natural disaster will increasingly become a concern of
all. Yesterday three massive tsunami (earthquake created tidal waves) crashed into
a thirty mile stretch of beach in Papua New Guinea and today Australian military
and rescue units are sweeping through the area trying to rescue and assist people
in whatever condition they are being found. We have as a race pulled together many
times before and will do so many times in the future, only now we are much more aware
of ourselves as a common people, with common needs, no matter where we are and no
matter what shade the sun has turned our skin. |
