Great thread op.
I agree that in order for us to advance as a species we must eventually enact a one world government.
I would love to see the earth as a type one civilization.
Unfortunately it will not happen in our current system and not for many many years.
You pointed out that it shouldn't happen now but a lot of people seem to of missed that.
Too many people are wrapped up in the intrigue of global elite conspiracy theories and Alex Jones 'documentaries' that they cannot see that things have to change in order for us to advance or even survive as a civilization.
To those who think that America has become a corrupt dictatorship, get over yourself. Americans today wouldn't know tyranny if it smacked them in the face.
Most of them haven't been outside the states and witnessed tyranny firsthand. You couldn't possibly of witnessed it if you think you are living in a dictatorship in the states.

The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

What do you mean by "Americans today"? The Founders of the United States of America also believed they were under to cruel foot of tyranny. Consider these passages from the Declaration of Independence:

Indeed, the entire Revolution for Independence was sparked by a tax on tea! Income tax did not even exist at that time, but today exists in perpetuity.
Originally posted by Jean Paul ZodeauxPointing to nastier tyrants does not excuse kinder gentler tyrants, and increasingly the adjectives kinder and gentler do not even come close to describing U.S. governmental administrative agencies. Of course, this is really what the "one world government" advocates hope for, some benign tyrant that will bring them Camelot, and those who do not buy into their fables get labeled as toothless uneducated hicks who suffer from delusional fantasies. It is tragically comical to see this phenomenon. Ah well, carry on with your fairy tales of wise kings and dragons for pets, it is, after all, your unalienable and natural right to do so, and no government need to exist at all in order for you to hold such fantasies.

Your assuming that this level of technology is sustainable...your also assuming that democracy/majority rule, will be the system in place. I don't think one world government is sustainable in either case. It is a doomed proposition to begin with.
Any reason why you think that? Of course, a world government cannot work in our current state and will most likely be totalitarian. However, if and when all countries are on the same level in terms of development, people are more united, and another industrial revolution has occurred, why would it not be feasible and desirable to slowly assimilate all countries into a global government?
