And then I throw in the X-Man factor where some Predator-type morphs
would get pissed off enough to go rogue on the world's various bigots and
only make matter worse for the moderates. Outside of a Soveriegn
nation all to themselves, which would of course be a 3rd world reality,
I really don't see it happening in our life times even with the technology
there. And the only thing that America is a melting pot for right now
is Conservative Ideals and Wars(but let's not get started on that one).
