My OperaGlobalization - So Why Not In My Back Yard?

Ever since James T Kirk set out on his voyages in the Starship Enterprise, I have been a firm supporter of globalization. I believe the concept of one world with everyone living in harmony is admirable and in it's early days, Star Trek was a brilliant example of progressive and liberal thinking. Where else (at the height of the Cold War and segregation in the Deep South) could we have been introduced to the idea of Americans, Russians, Japanese, Vulcans and even women all working together as equals?
So, why today do "so called liberals" get so enraged at the idea?
Of course- it's all about the Americans!
I guess that when the world is run by green, left-leaning, scum-sucking, Taliban supporting, anti-4x4 lobbyists, we'll finally be ready to embrace the concept. However, if you're gay, a woman who doesn’t walk around in a tent or is simply a "fat, gobby Mancunian".... Watch Out!
