I've spent a lot of time criticizing globalism and the planned North American Union (the combination of the U.S., Canada, and Mexico similar to the European Union), but I've come to the conclusion that it is inevitable. As long as there's more profit to be made by outsourcing labor, than it will continue to happen.
I have been lucky. I’ve had the unique opportunity to do some traveling around the globe, and I actually currently live in Japan. After growing up in a small Wisconsin town, my perceptions of the world were, well, quite small. I rarely saw people of different ethnic origins, and was surrounded by middle-class white republicans. My world was small. How many of us can relate to this feeling?
Anti-Union Rant
Recently I commented on A.J.84’s blog concerning paying teachers more, and began to rant on about how unions have soured the object of their creation. I felt then that I needed to expound on those ‘rants’ into a little better format… here and now!
My love affair with H & M was over almost before it really began. I am a bit of a miser and hate spending a lot of money on clothes when I tend to ruin them. Since we don't have an H & M in Maine, I was pretty excited that there are like three in Edinburgh. I hadn't been to one since last summer, in Boston--funny how my perception's changed.
Eighty years ago, the world saw an end to the period historians refer to as Pax Britannia. The British Empire receded in the years after World War I and II, and coincidentally, England's sister, America became the leading power. Interestingly, the driving force of these two world powers are one in the same- imperialism.
But do not be mistaken- the imperialism of Britain and America may be similar in their desire for economic growth, however, their main goals and their results are completely different. A better definition of the imperialism today, referred to as "globalism", would be the rise of Pax Economia
To be continued...
