[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay: [QB] One can identify with a local group or even a national group; however I believe that there is a primacy of humanity over all of hatred that nationalism can bring. In other words I can believe that being from California is good and that even being from the United States is good on many levels (regardless of all the bashing we get). Yet when I hear that American coporations are intent on futher exploiting small countries do to the fact that they do not have the worker protections that American workers do, I can be angry about that. Angry about the idea that profit is more important that humanity. Or I can be upset with the concept that coporate profit is more important that the world that we live on. Screw the whales and the sea turtles if it means a bigger house for me. Ozone, schmozone...give me a bigger car. These are some of the things that are primary over being from Los Angeles. Moreover, the concept of human defined borders, rather new in the scheme of history, by necessity it provides an artifical "us vs. them" mentality further seperating, in a new world of global economics, that haves from the have nots.
