"For starters, even assuming the One-Worlders could ever bring us peace, which they most definitively cannot, it would only be at the price of a terrorist, totalitarian, socially engineered nightmare that would make George Orwell and Aldous Huxley wet their pants. That is the only possible, earth-bound consummation of the words: “Imagine all the people, living life in peace.” (Stop humming.) If you’ve got no will, no emotions, no preferences and no special ties left to speak of, I guess that’ll take the fight out of you pretty good, all right."
The essay is long, starts kinda' slow, but - really - picks up steam and, IMHO, is essential reading to understand many things about the world today.
No jokes or snarky Internet comments from me about this one. I read it a decade ago when it was new, and it still hits home.
Please listen to the video, and make the time to read it closely.
Your comments are welcome.
Thank you.
Dave
