Globalization happens

Globalization happens. Technology brings us closer to each other and makes our lives more interdependent on ongoing basis. This process would not and cannot be stopped. It has many implications. Just a small example patent Law. You write it in one country and then file the papers and everyone else accepts and honors your ownership of the patent world-wide. So clearly the issue is not whether global new order is forming. It is. The issue is whose voice and to what degree influences that new world order and to what degree as we move in time. It is how it has been for many thousands of years. Nothing new under the sun. Every time transportation and communication technologies improve, the world shrinks. Thus rules must evolve. It is the journey in time we are all taking part of. If you play it right individually and as a nation, it is a fun and a fruitful ride.
