User Groups http://unity08.com/groups/user user groups directory en America in a 21st Century World http://unity08.com/groups/America+in+a+21st+Century+World <p>Welcome to the group. I created this group to get input on what the United States should be focusing in the 21st century. With the rise of new international powers and the focus on mainly one issue. Any comments and suggestions are welcome, there is no idea that is to far out there. That is how we all learn, by being able to absorb ideas that we may not have thought of or we have a different take on the situation.</p> diplomacy standing world Thu, 01 Nov 2024 18:45:05 -0700 mcline 4246 at http://unity08.com AsherHeimermann http://unity08.com/groups/AsherHeimermann <p>Welcome to the official Asher Heimermann group on Unity08.</p> government Politics Youth Wed, 31 Oct 2024 17:49:05 -0700 Asher 3983 at http://unity08.com Centroids http://unity08.com/groups/Centroids <p><a href="">Radical Middle</a> philosophy attempts to integrate the best insights of both the Conservative Right and the Liberal Left into a principled yet pragmatic approach to today's political challenges.
