Two
things have ushered us into a world without borders... the
end of the cold war and the advent of the world wide web of global communications
& commerce. Today it doesn't make a great deal of difference where
in the world we are located, we can carry on some types of commerce from
anywhere; from an island in the middle of the Caribbean to a sheep ranch
in the the Australian outback. A game of global musical chairs has begun,
and we are now changing places with people willing to go to America or
the UK to work for a wage we no longer consider attractive, while we begin
to move further afield in search of greener pastures.
Tomorrow, it will
make a great deal of difference where we live. But certainly not in the
same sense as we now perceive it. If we
can now buy a ranch in Argentina (or Uruguay, or New Zealand, or name your
spot,) for ten cents on the dollar of what a similar property inside
the United States or the UK would cost us, and if we can carry on commerce
from anywhere we are, how long do you imagine it's going to take your neighbor
to realize the very same thing?
Is there anyone
reading these words who doesn't recognize that we will soon be living on
one planet without borders?
Stop and
think about the inevitable.
We live in a world with a global
economy. The cultural, economic and strategic interests of nations no longer
neatly stop at a line drawn in the sand... nor do they any longer precisely
overlap. The nation-state has ended. Tomorrow is on its way.
This web site
is meant to express that philosophy.
