I didn't join your movement for world peace.

No you didn't.  You got my mail address because I replied to a message
you sent to a mailinglist.  I didn't ask for another mail from you.

I do wonder if this is true.

Of course nobody is saying that, this is because it isn't a feasible
idea.  Do you know a centralised government is also often referred to
as "communism"?

Who says that Bush and Blair are runnnig the world?  Yes, Bush has a
to big influence but not all countries just obey him.

What are you then if you aren't anarchists.  You do know that
anarchists wan't to achieve the opposite of what you want to achieve?
They want to let everbody live in small settlements.

If every new generation get's more mixed, doesn't this imply that we
are going to be more "unified" with each other.  I also don't see how
this "World Unfication" will get rid of nuclear weapons.  In stead of
countries attacking each other you will have regions attack each
other.

We are already exploring space.  Also what does Hitler have to do with

I do not have time to take part in such actions.

So please don't send my any more actions about this subject.
