    Then your not suggesting a cosmopolitan status.
    Which requires by definition having worldwide rather than limited or provincial scope or bearing. If one is still subject to the laws of the state in which they live they by default can not meet the definition of cosmopolitan.

    So are you really attempting to advocate anarchy or a world wide government? Especially since you tap-danced around the specifics of an answer in your response to me and to Antiochus.
