There has never been a one world government in today's times. So don't try to bring up history because there is no history for this type of operation.
If you wanna bring up the Roman Empire, then obviously you missed out on 2000 years of globalization.
Our world is extremely different than the Roman times and even to the Nazi regime. Even when the Nazi's were trying to create a one world government, they felt major opposite from the other global powers mainly the US.
Like I've said before, there would need to be a unification of all the global powers in the world... That is the US, UK, EU, Russia, China, etc.
This unification is happening exactly at this moment.

What "universal standard" are you seeking?

Have civil liberties and freedom in the U.S. increased or diminished with the expansion and consolidation of the federal government, e.g. "Homeland Security" (I love that name!), the Patriot Act, Military Commissions Act, executive power abuses, domestic surveillance, constitutional rights, federal bankster bail-outs, etc?

What makes you think global government -- even larger government by a smaller group of individuals -- would reverse this trend? It would only exacerbate it.

If politics and government can't be eliminated, they should at least remain local.

If this putz thinks that a 'one world government' is soooo stinking great then why not move to one of these countries out there that believe in totalism, communism, socialism, facsism etc. Saddly, there's plenty to choose from. I kinda like my freedom thank you and will bloody-well defend it if I have to!
I find it ironic that ONLY in countries that promote freedoms do we hear of such tripe!

There is nothing wrong with a one world society. There are plenty of things wrong with a one world goverment, biggest flaw being corruption.

So, think about the state of Florida. Imagine that Florida was the only American state. Would the government there be better just because it includes less people? Now let's add a couple dozen states. Is it dictating us yet? Could we add 50 more states? At what point does it become an evil maniacal monster?

In response to criticism about over-population, you guys should really read what I wrote about it in terms of morality. Perhaps I should have not labeled over-population and labeled it as one of the roots of crime and poverty.
