Hey, I’ve seen black helicopters flying right over the Hudson river off of Manhattan. And I’ve seen them many times.

After 9-11 they were very busy here.

So I can’t say anything about anything now. Saw it. Sometimes in groups.

The move toward a world government has been going on now for several thousand years, with this empire and that making attempt after attempt. Several major religions have also incorporated the idea of speaking for all people. The triangular trade in the 17th and 18th century was another step in worldwide commerce; ideologies have come and gone which have attempted worldwide cohesion; major wars are now world wars. Worldwide government isn’t some kind of conspiracy; it’s as old as the desire of Alexander. We’ve been heading there for a long time.

Having said that...

Obviously the ideals of the Constitution and its limited republic-style structure are a great template for world government. The states and the nation are a good analogy for the nations and the world.

The alternatives are awful, starting with this writer’s fawning appreciation for the unelected bureaucrats at the European Union. Stalin, Mao, and others present an even worse path. If we go Islamic, the world enters a dark age. Then there’s always the typical tyrannies of rule by oligarchs, monarchs, military men, and crazed ideologues.

Maybe we’ll have to experience these horrors on a worldwide scale before someone rediscovers the American experiment. Let’s hope the group trying to establish that on a worldwide scale has the faith and intellect of our founders - and a little chutzpah about fixing the several flaws in our system.

And now for a world government
