    I wasn't advocating for conventional wisdom, only warning of the dangers of "opening your mind for 30 minutes" and going totally nuts like IROC it apparently did.

    this movie is fine and all until about halfway through the "economic hitman" part where it completely jumps the shark.

    Understand, it was a great movie. Lot's of paradox concerning truth, belief, choice, destiny, control and freedom.

    I'm not nuts. My friends, this is real.





    But seriously... it's just a discussion. I like discussions.



    I hear the Amero is on it's way.

    The world is simply becoming a smaller place. Each passing decade, technology advancements brings once unreachable continents closer together. Oceans and mountains arent unnavigable deterrences sanymore. All reaches of the globe are a plane ticket away. Population increase has it to where we take up a lot of space on this planet. Digital distribution of information allows people to be updated to the minute on whats happening on the other side of the world. Around the world in 80 days is more like 7 now.

    We're globalizing because we can. Because there isnt a nearby planet of weaker living beings on it to colonize.
