Umm.... no. I'm somewhat sanguine about reductions in "lopsidedness" on
racial, sexual, and imperial lines -- but on a 50-to-500 year time scale, I
don't see that nation-states, corporations, religions -- or political
systems advancing claims akin to those of religions -- are in much danger of
"being phased out."
