The concept of fortress North America was not new when I went to school in the seventies. The steps currently in place takes us further down that road.
I do not support the globalization efforts of transnational corporations who have worked long and hard to achieve this goal. It is not a political association, it is an economic consolidation of markets and manipulations of those markets to the advatage of the affluent captains of industry.
There is no social advantage that can be found within this concept. The three distinct societies have common economic but diverse political foundations. Considering the influence of business on government the logical consequence of this endeavour will be the short term profit motive that will have long term detrimental social ramifications.
In order to accomplish the functional creation of a super-state by combining the three nations of North America, the acceptance of the dominance of the Asian marketplace must be realized. That market is ten times the size of our own, with a labour force we are not currently able to compete with. Jobs are being exported to that region at a horrorific rate that serve to both bolster their economy while it detracts from our own, all in the name of a profit motive.
We should be careful what we ask for.

Only a fool would advocate the involment of the government in their own bedroom. It is not the business of the state to even consider sexuality, nor is it any citizens business.
Why does this nonsense come to light in a legislative setting? Surely there is more pressing matters to government then who is sleeping with whom!!
