Once we understand that we belong to the land and not the other way around is when we start to realise that sharing things between us freely is the happiest way to go. In the magical words of Terry Riley, national flags of the world should be "...sewn together in brightly coloured circus tents under which politicians were allowed to perform harmless theatrical games..."

Apparently it's not that easy to check out Terry Riley's poem so here it is in its full magical glory!:
And then all wars ended / Arms of every kind were outlawed and the masses gladly contributed them to giant foundries in which they were melted down and the metal poured back into the earth / The Pentagon was turned on its side and painted purple, yellow & green / All boundaries were dissolved / The slaughter of animals was forbidden / The whole of Lower Manhattan became a meadow in which unfortunates from the Bowery were allowed to live out their fantasies in the sunshine and were cured / People swam in the sparkling rivers under blue skies streaked only with incense pouring from the new factories / The energy from dismantled nuclear weapons provided free heat and light / World health was restored / An abundance of organic vegetables, fruits and grains was growing wild along the discarded highways / National flags were sewn together into brightly colored circus tents under which politicians were allowed to perform harmless theatrical games / The concept of work was forgotten
