People of the World, we are on the brink of an exciting new era in the history of mankind. An era that will put an end to all wars and all the suffering that comes with it. An era where all of mankind can help to increase the wel;-being of all of mankind, without national borders and political regimes to destroy mankind's greatest dream - to live together as one in perfect harmony. Please vote YES on One World Government!
Quote:
People of the World, we are on the brink of the greatest catastrophe that ever struck mankind. Know the saying that "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely"? For the first time in history a situation of absolute power will be created, unchecked by opposing regimes. The One World Government speaks of freedom but it will enslave mankind. The powers that be will rule all. Mankind will be plunged in an abyss of totalitarian control. Please vote NO on One World Government!

Perhaps in some different epoch it would be appropriate.

At some point when the people of the world are more culturally homogenized, then I think it would be OK. Still, it should be a loose confederation so individuals have more say in their own life.

The thing is current government systems are readily corrupted, and in fact have been corrupted. If you start a world government in the same way, even if it is pristine, it would be corrupted in no time as special interest groups gain access and pull each other in.

Its the next step in human existance. It would lead to peace. And further advance is as a species. We would advance so fast if we all worked together Any other inteligence existance won't acknowledge. Us intill we atlest have control of our own planet. If there out there. There would be far fewer wars. But that only goes with an uncorrupt system

this is the kind of thinking that will make the one world government happen, and we will be worse off than we ever were.

Diverse peoples cannot be governed with a homogeneous law. History of empires makes this quite clear. Any attempt will fail, thought not after many, many people die.

what about the U.S.?
Just because the world came under one government does not mean that it would become corrupt. The U.S. has a very low level of corruption. I am sure there are a lot of people who will disagree with that, but the U.S. is not corrupt. Ask someone from China, or Russia what they think of the U.S. government system. Just because you don't like what is going on with the country does not mean it is corrupt.

Unfortunately, we are just not ready for that step. The state of worldly affairs would have to be just right for a NWO to actually work in the favor of the populace.

On September 7th, 2003, President Bush announced on national television that he was going to ask the Congress to grant him an additional $87 billion dollars for the fiscal year, beginning October 1, 2004, to continue the fight on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan. Since before then, to the end of September, 2007, the United States has dedicated approximately $315 billion dollars to the cause. http://www.crunchweb.net/87billion/

Freedom <-> Tyranny. We are more free when the center of power is closer to the individual level. One world government is the anti-thesis to liberty and individual sovereignty.

Go show her my thread on page one in P&S entitled "Red Pandas".
Red Pandas
A world government would interfere with an individual's plan to do so, even though, responsibly explored, it would serve to benefit the red panda species, ensuring their survival, and beginning a friendship between two species that could last a millenia. Individuals need to have sovereignty so they can be empowered to produce the greatest, positive change.
