No,no I don't want one language,one currency, one home,one army, one bank,one justice,one world leader. My canvas is multicoloured i don't want one international monetary fund one religion for all,one world government one state of special police forces which oppresses and robs the people all over the world. MY CANVAS IS MULTICOLOURED
