We should be relying on local economies and local products (especially food, energy) as much as possible.
I’m more interested on the international patent laws and how
you one-world government supporters wishfully think that
corporations would suddenly release their patents to the world
in order to improve science and technology.
Where will political refugees go? The moon?
Tell me the advantages of a one-world government? We have plenty of coordinating bodies between countries already, why do we need another one?

I myself would tell the corporations they no longer have any authority to hold such patents, and if they did'nt comply, they would be forcefully dissasembled.
No more countries/governments commiting atrocities/human rights violations, no more having to worry about places like Iran and N. Korea, no price rises because of the economies of other governments, a more equal distribution of labour., no more having to worry about a dozen countries with nuclear weapons.
(emphasis mine)
If in the creation of the state, or whatever you want to call it,
you add in certain things into the constitution which can never
be changed that would prevent a power grab, like equally
sharing the power with multiple branches of the gov. like the
American gov. is supposed to be, than you would'nt have the
problem.
But this is a very utopian notion. There's no way you can know this would happen, and if it doesn't there are no alternatives.
Do you believe the Israel issue will suddenly be resolved because of a one world government? If anything it would solidify the status quo, (which is probably exactly what the elite want) and the Palestinians will be left as they are with no way to reclaim their lands. Should the west still continue to drain’s the poorer countries’ natural resources, with almost no local retribution? Will all these ongoing atrocities be permanently solidifies under a one-world government?
Let me put it this way… Do you really believe that rich nations such as Singapore with a population of 4,492,150 will willfully allow Zimbabwe with a population of 12,236,805 to have 3 times the political voting power?
As you point out above, the US was designed to keep this from happening. However, over the years (approx. 200) the moneyed interests have found ways to dominate. They will again with the one-world government.

Well, in a single world government there would'nt be nationalistic land disputes liken that of Israel, Lebanon and the Palestinians, it would be like how the U.S. states are set up now, albeit with a bit more power.
The west would'nt really exist the same way anymore, it would be everyones natural resources, that would be owned by government companies to be split up equally.
That's because the U.S. constitution was'nt made for our society, so there are'nt as many rules and exactnesses in it as would be required for a society today.
….a global government, and there's a good chance it will be a democratic and just/free one.

Why is it that every NWO concept makes the world such a sci-fi movie. In every concept it makes the place look like there will be no freedoms and life will be the same for everyone. Why is that?
Because people read it on some sites and repeat it, and then scare themselves into believing that it will 100% definitely be like that.
You see, that's what I hate about people. They are willing to believe ANYTHING, even if there are no FACTS to back it up.
Now, a some people said, I support a World Government as long as it is a free democratic system. Certain freedoms I could do without or they can be modified, but it must be a free system.
It may start as a democracy, but who could resist to seize power and rise to rule the world with an iron fist?
All the worlds democracies will one day become despots of the future, no one can resist the tempations of power and over time the collective consolidtion will erupt and a tyranny will begin. I believe if you watch any news and don't live in a box you can see the effects of that now.
That's why there are checks and balance. The U.S. government is one of the more stable government in the world (despite what people may think of it). Sure there could be some fine tuning, but in the last 230 years we have yet to see someone like Hitler take over our country and rule with an Iron fist. If people think Bush is that kind of person, think again, he is far from it.
A World Government should be based on the U.S. government. Let there be a President, a Vice President, a Cabinet, a Governor representing each former nation, Representatives representing the people and even a Senate. The only problem we will have is a two-party system. It will NOT work especially when you have the poltical views of the Middle East conflicting with the Western World which conflict with the East which conflict with the South.
The world is already integrating into a one world government. The European Union is moving closer to sovereignty, the South American Community is under development so is the African Community and I'm sure the former Soviet states will eventually be part of the greater Russian Federation... the world is getting smaller.

And why Not i the U.S.?
If your going to support mass genocide, than you might as well support nuclear detonations in the U.S. as well.
Also, even if you did'nt nuke the U.S., you'd still be dead anyway.
In fact the majority, if not all life on Earth would be dead.

With a little more patience and what not, we might just as well get away with turning every continent to be as like-minded as say Europe and get everyone
to enjoy the benefits of democracy + freedom.

It's democracy + freedom in that as soon as you go about democracy all by itself you all of a sudden have the great big union government that is communism.
