Sure, that's the idea behind trade treaties.  But if that one world is
to be the worst common denominator under the control of global
corporations, I prefer keeping the door closed.

I don't let the wild life run through the house, either.  Today I exiled
a field mouse caught in the rat trap on the side of the house to the
other canal side.  Two days ago a madly protesting Great Tit fluttered
to and fro in the trap.  The real target is sweeping up woodmice before
they get into the walls as they make a hell of a racket when running in
walls and floors at night.  Somewhat successfully.  Interestingly, the
house mice are basically not to be found next to the house, keeping to
the stables instead.  And apart from two caught exemplars, the brown
rats preferred dwelling at our neighbor's place this year.

Apropos: even if the corporate rats are permitted to gobble up the North
American continent, I'm not interested in letting them in here.
