Maybe the same type of government, but not the exact same one. One world government would undoubtedly turn corrupted. asdf_user Joined on Thu, Jan 6 2005 Junior Member 74 The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.

	matthewg  +  66564 Sun, 09 Jan 05 05:43 PM Please clarify your comments, guest. Sometimes we have thoughts that we find difficult to articulate, and when we express them, they are often misunderstood or misinterpreted. Do you mean that the leader of a one-world government will be a contemporary Jesus-figure? matthewg Joined on Mon, Sep 6 2004 Full Member 395

	leandro_tami  +  67256 Wed, 12 Jan 05 01:40 PM I think I understand what you wanted to say, Guest. Let me know if I got it right (of course we're getting into religious territory here): that only in Jesus mankind could find a true leader which would unite all the persons in the world? leandro_tami Joined on Mon, Nov 15 2004 Mar del Plata, Argentina Junior Member 68

	matthewg  +  68603 Wed, 19 Jan 05 12:37 PM If you're interested in one-world government, you should think about reading Kant's 'Idea for a Universal History with a Cosmopolitan Purpose.' Don't let the bombastic title put you off: this text was written in 1784, but the ideas put forward in it are very avant garde. Kant defines a series of propositions for a global society. The one which is relevent to this topic is the sixth, which deals with the subject of leadership in a global society: This problem is both the most difficult and the last to be solved by the human race. The difficulty... is this: if he lives among others of his own species, man is an animal who needs a master. For he certainly abuses his freedom in relation to others of his own kind. And even although, as a rational creature, he desires a law to impose limits on the freedom of all, he is still misled by his self-seeking animal inclinations into exempting himself from the law where he can. He thus requires a master to break his self-will and force him to obey a universally valid will under which everyone can be free. But where is he to find such a master? Nowhere else but in the human species. But this master will also be an animal who needs a master. Thus while man may try as he will, it is hard to see how he can obtain for public justice a supreme authority which would itself be just, whether he seeks this authority in a single person or in a group of many persons selected for this purpose. For each one of them will always misuse his freedom if he does not have anyone above him to apply force to him.... Yet the highest authority has to be just in itself and yet also a man. This is therefore the most difficult of all taks, and a perfect solution is impossible. Nothing straight can be constructed from such warped wood as that which man is made of. matthewg

	IamAmérica  +  208241 Wed, 22 Mar 06 12:10 AM Well, perhaps in 150,000 years from now, when all the fanatics (of every source), the greedy individuals (such as lawyers, doctors, business men), the selfish bastards, and all other evil kind of humans are as far back in history as the caveman is today. Nowadys any world government will fall in the hands of those with money, it would be the takeover of the MONEY POWER using the "lobbyists", just like they do today, in this pseudo democratic systems that we have today in many countries. So FORGET IT!!! it will not work. IamAmérica Joined on Sun, Feb 5 2006 Indiana, U.S. of N.A. New Member 20

"Beneficial" you ask?  Absolutely not.  The poor will continue becoming poorer (is that actually possible... how can you be poorer when you are already dying of hunger?) and the rich will be richer and fewer.  The average joe-bloe will wind up paying more tax to support it! I do believe that it is logical that someone(s) could predict one world governement... eventually. Re: "the bible said".  Understanding the process of organisation, it stands to reason that it would eventually involve all of humanity - however spread, varied, or numerous it is.  Understanding humanity, then you can also predict that we will auto-destruct, one way or another!  And everything else within range.  Wether this be world war or pollution, it's going to happen. monfrancom Joined on Tue, Jan 27 2004 Grand Calumet, Québec New Member 45 Living in harmony starts within one's own self.
