Re: Semi-OT: Planetary governments
I think you're right, that humanity is too fragmented to ever be united in a common purpose. For the most part, people are too greedy, and can be a little bit TOO patriotic, when it is actually harming you and your country to have this attitude. But I know of very few people who would want to give up their country, to have it absorbed into a greater whole, even if it is for the greater good. Everyone is afraid of not having a voice, of being ignored and unable to affect their life in any significant way.
