$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Delphis', 'M')y apologies for my absence, my skillset was needed in light of the bailout and such. My strong recommendation would be to google EU, NAU, or Illuminati and get as much information as possible. Your ignorance and/or feigned lack of knowledge is bewildering and not worthy of comment if you truly feel that way.
Look, I don't know about the mystic, arcane knowledge you seem to profess to know... Illuminati, huh? What, no Elders of Zion?... if Elvis was really an alien who kidnapped President Kennedy and replaced him by a clone so he could be assassinated by Liberace and the ghost of John Wilkes Booth, I'm not privy to that. Whatever. But I do know some common sense things you're conveniently overlooking.
If a North American Union is in the works, why is the US government making it HARDER for their own people and other North Americans to cross the border? Why is it going to take a passport a couple of years from now just to drive to Port Huron for a special on toothpaste if we're headed for a North American Union?
A union of the sort you describe would necessitate freedom of movement and labour relocation. Now tell me... seriously... do you really see the US Congress throwing the doors wide, hauling down the wall and the border checkpoints along the Arizona border and shouting (in Spanish) "Come and get it!"? Seriously?
We don't have freedom of movement in North America. We don't have continental labour rights. We don't have a common currency or even fixed exchange rates or a harmonized prime interest rate mechanism. We don't have a legislative body of any kind enacting, or even proposing, continental legislation, common practices, or common standards. What little we have in common is independently enacted in the interests of practicality. What's the big "proof" that always comes up when this gets rolling? Oh... they're building a highway. Common security concerns. Well, welcome to 1950.
Never mind sitting there like a flaccid walrus, moaning at us to google it. If you believe it, tell us why. Frankly, the link to Wikipedia was underwhelming.
