They don't limit democracy at all--each nation governs itself and has a voice in the union, just like every state does in the US.

Which means the system sucks--but we still make it work, and so will they. Maybe eventually we'll find something better, and the rest of the world will follow our lead again. Won't that be lovely?

With all these unions, I can't help thinking that eventually it might become east and west. The two great land masses, gog and magog. Revelation to John.

Why is uniting our continent a bad idea? Is there not strength in numbers? I think so many Americans resist this idea from fear. I think they fear Canada and Mexico joining us, and we all know the Mexicans are hard workers who are the ones working most of our agriculture jobs here in the states. If all of this doomsday stuff truly goes down, well they would already know how to grow food and survive on much less than us. So who benefits least from unification? Lazy Americans unwilling to adapt to global change.
I really dont understand why this is a bad idea, for our futures. Does unification automatically equal slaves, or death? Why could it not mean new and improved, or progressive opportunities for us?
