The earth belongs to all humans therefore borders should have no place on it

@Gloomy it works on paper but that's how Warlords are born in reality.

@Jayciedubb doesn't have to mean that there are no more administrative districts though

@Gloomy in order for the world to keep turning in a way that we all somewhat recognize, a certain amount of order is needed. That's government. Imagine trying to drive anywhere with no traffic signals and no rules on the roads and no enforcement of any kind. It wouldn't take long before we were gridlocked everywhere and going nowhere. The infrastructure needs to be maintained.. that's what governments do. Governments have boundaries Yes they get out of hand but out of existence and we don't live this closely anymore. It's been calculated that it takes 5 Acres of good land with good rainfall and a long growing season for each individual person to be able to sustain their own lives.. that's about the size of a city block, per person needed to survive annually to grow in a food on it and collect water and to filter out all the bio waste. In that environment, it's only natural for communities to sprout up and from there it doesn't take long for government to kick in. And if it's successful, it wouldn't take long for another government to want to come and take it. Lines would be drawn sooner or later. That's the way it happens. If Anarchy was actually possible we'd have it somewhere but anywhere there's anything close to Anarchy it's very dangerous place to live.

@Jayciedubb I'm no Anarchist but governments can operate without heavily securing borders and restricting movements. I'm against Nationalism and the premise that being born somewhere dictates where you have to be or how different passports hold unequal value and possibilities

@Gloomy I understand and I'm not trying to be a pain. I think about that a lot. Birds fly where they want and live where they want without paying tax or anything like that frogs do what they do wherever they want to do it and on and on. But ants live in a colony bees live in hives. I live in my house on my property that ends at my property line. Then there's the City limits and the county line then the State Line to the borderline

Through the internet, I've Got Friends all around the world and when I hear their stories more and more I feel so lucky to be born here. So lucky in fact that I often feel guilty. And not just to be born here in the US but to be born here where I live where it hardly rains and never too hot, never too cold and extremely Diversified. I knew the definition of racism. But I'd never seen it until I joined the army and mixed with some of the truly finest people this country has to offer, and I learned their stories and their stories made me feel lucky to be where I'm from also. I've also been around the country and I know for sure there's no place like home for me so I get what you're saying . it's not fair. So I just count my blessings that I ended up where I am
