Well, we're seeing the demise of sovereignty, now, and I bet it wasn't what folks intended. Sovereignty is not limited to states. It extends to all of us.
I find curious how sovereignty which was such a bulwark of conservative philosophy has been abandoned so completely by the far right. But make no mistake about it: The wars WILL continue as the corporate state evolves into its own united "nations," Inc., Ltd., LLC, and militaries are used as vast enforcement arms.
Corporate hegemonists have no use for democracy, and they are banking heavily on the increasing reality that the goverened don't either.
We are so-o-o-o connected, even as we run break neck from community.
