“The third problem for governments is political,” Friedman said. “Church attendance would increase as would mental hospital admissions. The stock market would go down. The biggest reactions … would be a push from the younger generation … for a new view of ourselves as earthlings instead of as Americans, Canadians, Peruvians, Chinese, etc … (I know) of no government that wants its citizens to owe their primary allegiance to the planet instead of that government.”
I never go to church,like billions of others, more stay away, than go to one of those places.
Especially here in the U.K.
Mental hospital admissions would increase..... where on earth did the writer, get that fact from?
Earthlings instead of honouring your own country.... maybe yes,but I see it another way........A person united with his brother human would not cause war on him.No war equals, no arms deals.Allegiance to the planet is a better idea in my honest opinion.
The stock market would go down?
Its in a bad shape now.....and that's for the greedy peeps, always.
Christian fundamentalists are far fewer than than we are led to believe,hands up if you are one......."anyone,here"
They could stay up the creek for all I care,who bows to them,certainly not me.
