Response to Lucas' Blog

      Lucas this is a very interesting idea! I too had never considered the idea that a nation may not be a good thing. How many wordily conflicts would be avoided if there were not nations? So many conflicts are a result of disputed borders or who is to control certain resources. How many lives would have been saved if we as "civilized" people were not so focused on the nation and the advancement of that nation? In high school we talked a lot about imperialism and the destructive force that it was, how would nations like the Philippines be different if imperialism never occurred? I think that the world would be a much more diverse place. A tad less organized too, but still. Maybe the world would be a happier place if everyone was left alone to do as they pleased in their own societies and were not so focused on becoming a nation.
