Well of course there have been changes of interest for humanity, that is not what I meant. What I meant was, our nature is one of self interest. That is, was, and always will be what we are focused upon. From there changes will develop.

Don't get me wrong, I believe that this one world government stuff is on the rise. This collectivist movement can be seen all around the world as power is shifted from the masses to smaller and smaller governmental bodies. It just saddens me as all because I know human nature. Those smaller and smaller government bodies are no different from you and I and at times their own interests will override our own but who will we go complaining to once all the power resides in one place?
