One World
The whole world could’ve been just one entity. All people could’ve had one goal. You could’ve travelled continents and no one would ask to see your passport or check your color, race or religion. I think the problem started with the first guy that built a fence around a piece of land and said “This is mine. No one is allowed in and I have the right to kill any trespassers.” We need to get together again. But the problem is, even from the most creative imaginations on earth—movie writers and directors—the world unites only because of alien invasion or environmental disaster. Let’s pray we find a more peaceful and true reason to get together.

Several points. Why should everyone have one goal? That makes us no more than robots. We are all individuals and should be free to pursue whatever goals we see fit, so long as they do not violate the rights of others. Secondly, there is a very legitimate reason for having multiple governments on earth rather than just one—having the entire country under one jurisdiction makes it too easy for someone with evil intent to dominate everyone, even if the initial leaders are benevolent. Finally, this is a completely different issue from that of private property. Private property is completely moral and justified. Countries, however, don't have ownership of all the land within their boundaries—their boundaries are jurisdictional, meaning that they have legal authority within those boundaries. They do not have the moral right to prevent free passage between countries, with the exception of known criminals. People with no ill intent should absolutely be allowed across borders, whatever their origin, and whether they are looking for work, a better life, or just want to travel.

I don't really care who says what is their property. I will respect your stuff but you don't get to own land, that belongs to every one and no one. I just ignore that stuff.
