The reason is simply that separatist movements from Quebec to Scotland to Hawaii are ubiquitous. However, they have a problem in organizing their supporters. Internet does this quickly and efficiently as we see for example on the Hawaiian Sovereignty List <kanakamaoliallies-l-AT-hawaii.edu>. In addition, Internet organizes separatists internationally and in total I expect there are more people in separatist movements world-wide than there are anti-separatists in any one country. Thus strong international coalitions of separatists will form even though they may have little else in common. Thus over C21 I predict the U.N. will grow to thousands of member states. For this reason I keep appealing to international experts to work out the details for PEACEFUL recognition of an emerging nation whether it is Basque or Kosovo or Nuxalk. <schnipp> --- from list avant-garde-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
