It's time to move on

Yes, all the effort to get universal suffrage was worth it, and not to be sniffed at, but now we have democracy it's time to get rid of nations. Voting for national representatives simply entrenches an archaic system. Take the power back to local level.

We can have both, but power is best seated as close to the community as possible. National and international law and policing are done by grudging agreement and thats the way it should stay (go on, get me started on terrorism).
