I just got done reading posts on the you tube election video and thought the exchange of comments were interesting and for the most part thought provoking. So with that said, seeing there is such a vast array of nations, cultures represented at GMC I am wondering if any one thinks that we are undergoing changes that will make the world a different place for better or worse. For instance here in the states it appears that we might be headed toward type of merger with the Europeans are far as currency is concerned and this as a result of the current world economic crisis? What would that look like? How would that affect each of us ? So with out being harsh or arugumentive let me have some input on what the world would look like in the near distant future?

If i posted my thoughts on the world it would be a post so long it might break the server.. i will save space for more lessons and videos by simply posting.. if you want to chat politics, economics(my favorite). World issues, business, UFO's... seriously anything intellectual just add me on Msn messenger

now ill give a short post about the issues mentioned .. North American currency is an okay idea, i think the end objective is for a North American Union, or even one solid nation (which i doubt will happen). They already have the money plans drawn up.. It will be a currency that combines the value of our combined wealth. So it might be worth a little more than the U.S Dollar. What it should do is be easier for trading within North America and it should ease our ability to trade with Europe. At the moment we are sliding towards a depression in North America which will affect the entire world so i'm more concerned with keeping my pennies safe then the governments designing new ones.

The world in the future = China.. i hope not but they are pretty much destroying everyone else at the moment... as far as economics goes.. and money controls the world.. unfortunately..

Thats especially true when the nation in question invests heavily in its military, like China is doing at the moment. Lets just hope that the US and China can stay friends for as long as possible.

The saddest thing for me though, is that despite the huge boom in China's economy the ordinary people who live there still have terrible pay and working conditions

World has now become worse and worse place to live in. Fortunately we do have the technology to break out of current situation, and make a new industrial revolution. This will happen in roughly 50 years tops. If you ask me, USA dominion days are almost over, that whole empire will fall in 30-40 years top, and china and the eastern block will take over.
And I think Chinese people are one great working nation with a bit tradition and culture, as opposed to the other side of the world.
