This is a very good wake-up article showing us clear choices.

Those choices could become easier if we examined whether we actually have any freedom of sovereignty even now.

If we take seriously and understand all the lessons coming out of the global crisis we can see that all of humanity has evolved into such an intermingled and interdependent network, that there is no individual or nation that could stand on their own, or truly remain sovereign.

Most of life's major decision are made at the supra-national level even now, local or even national governance only caters for very small issues related to the street level control of life.

We are so interdependent on energy sources, markets, workforce, components to any machinery, gadgets, cars or whatever product we build and use, even a cup of coffee we drink in the morning depends on thousands of people and multiple countries to reach our breakfast table.

We can use hundreds of examples on the individual and national level from the iPhone craze sweeping the globe, to crucial gas pipelines, oil distribution channels crossing continents, from most popular sports teams having owners, coaches and player from different countries, cultures, wearing multinational company logos on their shirts, to the total global integration through social media on the Internet.

We can also see how certain countries, like Iran right now, or North Korea can be cut off from the general circulation going downhill despite seemingly having everything in their hand.

In fact common people could not care less about deeper integration as long as their lives are secure and they have their necessities, they can still keep their regional traditions, culture, colors, only politicians, parties with their self serving agendas incite nationalistic hatred and separation, playing old tunes to cover their inabilities.

We are already living in a supra-national global system whether we like it or not, the connections are here and they are here to stay.

The only question is if we start to use these connections in a positive, mutual manner to secure the existence and well-being of this single, united human system, as today no individual or nation can survive on their own if the whole system does not function optimally and they do not receive the necessary support.

The future democracy will most probably have several layers from direct local level to supreme supra-national level to ensure the proper governance of this multi coloured, but deeply connected human network.
