Poll question: How would Earth, United Nations et al, come together and truly UNITE?
Is there a hope for Homo Sapiens to truly come together?

Like in Peace?

Or is it too late?

2. I honestly think....
evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence will be the only thing. We don't even need a threat from afar - just the knowledge that we're not alone will cause a major shift in how we think about ourselves. We'll stop thinking of ourselves as Europeans or Africans or Asians and finally think of ourselves as Earthlings.

12. Trouble is: The ET guys might be the Weed Patrol, The Team that
eradicates virus like species, the ones that are not benevilent, self sustaining, but, rather, exploitive and parasitic.

Like us Humans.

5. truely come together ? only one way
the sphere goes thermoneucular and the surface melts with us as ash in it.

I don't really think its supposed to happen. How boring would it be if all flowers were roses ? Variety is the spice of life.

8. we stop listening to governtments and other imaginary things
and start taking individual responsibility for ourselves. and not in the republican way either. too many people depend on leaders, gods, governments, etc. to tell them how to live their lives, it makes them easily manipulated. of course this wouldn't make everything perfect, but it would make the safer and more stable. of course the only way i see this happening is if humanity comes to the brink of extinction and the ones that are left have to depend on themselves, and each other to pull themselves back from the brink.

18. Alien invasion. But we'd be back to arguing as soon as we won.
It's just how we're built, I'm afraid. We're very kind to our own group, but groups are a matter of perspective. The definition of the word "us" is up for constant revision.
