A North American Community: Integration is a MUST
I am breaking my silence to support three proposed ideas which will combine the United States, Canada and Mexico (not included in UNA) under either a regional government and/or community:
* Jonathan Wheelwright’s United North America
* Dr. Robert A. Pastor’s ‘North American Community‘
* The Security and Prosperity Partnership Of North America (some consider this the prelude to the North American Union, which would be similar to that of the European Union)
Prior to discovering these proposals for the integration of North American countries more than a year ago, I for years believed that the arbitrary lines separating the United States, Canada and Mexico were not only absurd, but irrelevant and inefficient as well. My desire to see our North American continent wholly integrated as a single entity became evermore clear to me during frequent visits to Canada over the past few years.
The bigger picture here is that we must begin the work to tear down the “imaginative divide” that we created during the “founding” of our continent. While I do not agree with the concept of government, I do agree that we must realize a North American continent that is no longer separated by divisive and destructive policies which harm our competitiveness and efficiency in the growing global markets.
However, reuniting our torn continent isn’t about global competition alone. It’s about strengthening our land, its people and our future. I have long been a proponent of all things which will erase division among human beings, and if creating a North American Community (or Union) will achieve this, I am in full support of it.
Unfortunately, there are many opponents of the proposed ideas above. Many feel that their country’s sovereignty will be wiped away and long forgotten. Of course, I disagree with most of the opponent’s concerns — as most of them would also disagree with my support of the unification of North America. Let’s face the facts: We can no longer avoid this from happening. It’s going to happen whether you like it or not.
It’s time to put an end to simple thinking in North America. It’s time to put an end to “make believe” division of land and people. It’s time to return to the roots of this continent’s innocence — a time where there was no Canada, United States and Mexico — only a common region with common people. We all share a bond here. Let’s embrace it for the good of everyone.
Ronald Lewis Dot Com Valued at $94,278.18
There are a number of “domain appraisal” tools available online to assess the value of a website. Through digg.com, a popular website, I found Dan Carlson’s blog and his much talked about appraisal tool. As we are all aware, the Internet is quite a valuable space and if you don’t have something already established, it’s time to get to work.
As of today, ronaldlewis.com is worth an astounding $94,278.18! I did not expect this number, however, it is the best indicator of the work which has gone into my website over the past year or so. Even though my website has been in existence since 1999, it was only in 2005 when I got serious about pursuing the Internet as a full-time gig.
Perhaps this number is convincing enough that I mean business and more people will take the hard work I’ve put into my blogging and podcasting more seriously. As many of you are probably aware, I am still looking for a major sponsor of the Interviews Podcast. From now own, I guess I’ll refer people to the value of my web presence, rather than trying to sell them on the likes of Craig Newmark (Craiglist), Southwest Airlines, and other prominent entrepreneurs and industry titans that have appeared on my podcasts as a “selling point”.
My blog is worth $94,278.18.
