The dogma about a "one-world government" is repeated on FR occassionally, but I've never heard anyone list the reasons they are opposed to it. There seems to be certain assumptions about such an entity of which I am (yet) convinced. For the sake of argument, let's not immediately assume that it would be a liberal-socialist government, but something more democratic.

Also, please spare me the crap about going to DU, I want a dialogue with strong opinions, not insults. Also don't think just by asking the question you know where I stand on the issue.

Now go at it!

I think it would be something like getting rid of state governments and putting all power into the federal gov't. Sound like a good idea? Think better government through granularity.

I would bet it would be more of a dictatorship. Our founders went to great pains to protect that. But they could not protect us from our own ignorance. I don't know if you have religious convictions or not. But if one wants to know is the very idea of a world government a good thing....Then just remember what God thought about the tower of babble.

We could put it to a vote, wonder how many Republican are in China, and the middle east.
