    Well, I'll pull out the flowers, and say, well, I was thinking pretty
    simply like a hippy. Us vs Them-ism. Tribalism.

    Might it be possible to have a global village, all of us Us, none of us
    Them?

    It would be helpful, were it possible.

    But, my cynicism kicks in overtime, and sees no possibility.

    I want to be wrong.
