<div>>I think one clear project of our age is to create the transnational<br>structures to effectively enforce the Universal Declaration of Human<br>Rights, and hopefully leave everything outside their scope to the<br>national states. 
<br><br>>Of course, I'm sure that will be one of the first things the FAI takes<br>care of once it takes over SkyNet....</div>

<div>I agree James.  Hopefully the first thing the FAI does will bitch-slap all the thugs, dictators, multi-national corporations etc from here to Saturn - delivering a metaphysical foot about 10 inches up their backsides.
