PERSONAL CONVICTIONS: From world philosophers I have gleaned this: While borders stand we are in prehistory. When all borders are gone, human history will begin. A person only has a right to do that which he agrees should become universal law. Do to others as you want them to do to you. The human race is now capable of and ready for the above.
