World Government?

[rickr15]

I tend to think its more likely that multinational corporations will render national governments obsolete. Any future wars are more likely to be for resources and profits.

Right, right, I see. Corporations keeping government in check, rather than the other way around? Interesting.

I think we've already been there, concerning the cause of wars. You do realize the beef that Japan had with China and the U.S. before WWII was mainly over trade, don't you?

I think Rick was simply observing what has been happening rather than advocating corporate control of government.

Don't forget Haliburton's role in Iraq, as well as the oil interests. Think of the corporate interests in the military industrial complex. Shoot, the crap that Wall Street was selling infected the world banking industry. I like Google, but I worry about a corporation large enough to thumb its nose at China. Already mentioned the gift that foreign corporations have been given by the Supremes. Is the smaller government that the right is demanding really going to be able to go toe to toe with these beasts? Of course not. The GOP cannot let a meddling government make things difficult for their patrons.

I was agreeing with Rick, not arguing against him. Maybe I failed to articulate that?

Dang! First time I have ever misinterpreted a comment on a bulletin board. We also agree then, you commie pinko.
