Zugzug -- It's a pretty offbeat website: http://www.escapeartist.com/ I like the statement of philosophy: "Simply put, we believe that governments and their borders and the concept of government and borders are obsolete. We humans are only holding on to these concepts because we have no clear precedent to call forth to guide us. A hundred years from now this will all be quite apparent ~ we will recognize that we live on one planet and that the borders were meaningless constructs. Today, of course this is difficult to accept. What is the function of a government? ...To protect us? ...From whom? ...How? ...is any government doing a good job? Are they a help or a hindrance? The concept of deterritorialization is new, but new things are certainly not without precedent in our evolution, or we'd have had no evolution. When human beings moved from grunting tribalism to the idea of kingdom & empire the idea was new... when human beings moved from monarchy to democracy the idea was new... and of course the idea of a world without borders and/or governments is new, or fairly new, but it is inevitable. We are one species ...despite the fact we often pretend we are not. 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.

For Zugzug. I missed the original question, but the gist of your query seems to be whether there will ever be a time when there will be no borders over the whole earth. When all men can roam wherever they like in total peace. It sure is a lovely thought. And it`s been promised. In the Bible at Daniel 2;44..."And in the days of those kings [ all the worlds governments] the God of Heaven will set up a kingdom that will NEVER be brought to ruin. And the Kingdom itself will not be passed onto any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms [governments] and it itself will stand to times indefinite". This has certainly not happened yet, so it must be in the future. It was written, by Daniel, in Babylon, 536 years before Jesus, and recorded in the holy books of the Hebrews. The Old Testament. And it`s still there. The scripture implies that we all must align our thoughts and actions with the " God of Heaven". Obedience. There is no room for " doing your own thing!.There is no room for killing people because "you" think they have offended "your" God. He is powerful enough to look after himself. How we must behave is simply to follow the teachings of God`s only son Jesus. And those teachings are there for anyone to take the time to read. The "people" of this promised Kingdom are all those, of any colour, and from any nation, who are prepared to give up their nationalism and their inherited religion to follow Jesus` teachings. Jesus told the prostitute to cease her way of life and all her sins would be forgiven. This lesson can be applied to any deviant behaviour. Acceptance of such behaviour, on the basis of love for fellopw man, is faulty thinking. Psalm 37;28,29 warns of the consequences."But as for the offspring of the wicked ones, they will indeed be CUT OFF, the righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it". |

For Zugzug. O.K. ,so I just went back on your original question. My reply stands. You blokes are looking for a perfect world, except maybe for the gambling. An honest job never hurt anyone. The FINAL answer is STILL in the Bible. As for the rest of your requirements, I can honestly say you will find all of them in Australia. Preferably the West side. Although the entire police " service", not force, are armed, their bullets are rusting in their magazines and cylinders. Nice weather, beaches, internet, no snow, never colder than 5 deg. C. But as gamblers, Amanda [ Oz politician,] may not let you in. Now if you had a job, well, its possible. I`ll buy you a beer if you make it. No hard feelings Eh! |
