Part of my argument is (IMO) that there would be fewer conflicts/wars if we all spoke the same language. A similar premise is that there is too much emphasis (by most groups) on culture -- which leads to most (if not all) "us-them-ing". I don't argue for the elimination of culture, but I claim the world would be better-off with a lot less of it.
