>Agree 100%. The members of the UT are a living proof that different peoples from different countries and culture can live and help each other.

>>What I still believe is that, one-on-one, 99% of the time, people get along very nicely regardless of their language (French or English). Yes, each language group has its share of a**holes, but thankfully they are in the minority.

True, although I'm hoping to one day see (hopefully while I'm alive) a world "a la Star Trek" where there is one government, money no longer exists and such. I know this may sound ridiculous, but when you analize Star Trek and Rodenberry's (Spell check?) views on what society would be in the 24th century. Of course, this is the view of a optimistic humanist (my titleing) but if everyone was just a little more optimistic...

Just imagine the progress science could make if money was no longer an issue and if everyone could colaborate with everyone else, the speed at which the race would evolve. Of course, there are other issues as well, such as all the racial and religious tension in the world, but I don't think this is the place to discuss such issues, although I could be mistaken, since the UT is sort of such a cooperative!

This has been a public service announcement, you may now resume your lives as pointy haired bosses or cubicle dwellers (this announcer is of the latter category!)
