Why is a "One World Government" a good thing?

[Sandman]

One thing, though. You can dance to the sounds of Elephants taking a piss, and light dung candles at home, as long as your children go to the schools that teach real knowledge, and no part of your religion is discriminatory, or abusive.

I agree.

no problem. Just watch it with the candles.

I think a One World Government is an excellent idea. In one swoop we eliminate most excuses for war. When there are no countries, nobody can point a finger to "Axis of Evil" or "the Great Satan." Patriotism will be a thing of the past - at long last humankind can truly look forward.

An OWG would never work because it require everyone to be waaayyyy more tolerant of each other. The best OWG possible now is the UN.

King fo the Apes,

The system of nations also requires people to be tolerant of each other. What's the diference?

[GePap]

The notion the One true Sovereign is far older then that of multiple possible sovereigns, which is an interesting development given that there have been less and less distinct and independent Sovereign entities as time has gone bye. Now that we have the ability for One Sovereign that political ideal has vanished.

One good thing about "one world goverment" is that it is impossible. Nature can't stand such kind of monopoly. Only an imminent and perceptible threat to humanity as a whole can offset this natural antimonopolistic drive.
