Wow. The world is suffering from bigotry, continual wars, starvation, sickness and malnutrition on a vast scale, the middle class is disappearing, especially in North America where a greater and greater percentage of the wealth is concentrated at the top, there is the threat of nuclear war from ever more countries, pollution and global warming are on the uprise, the United States has the biggest military budget in the world which is so unable to stop terrorism that getting on an airplane with a pair of nail clippers is considered a security threat, massive unemployment, the suspension of rights at places like Guantanamo, but most of these posters are worried about a world government? In the next 40 years the population of the world is expected to increase to 9 or 10 billion people. Two hundred years ago governments could perhaps solve most problems within their borders or at least contain them – that is no longer the case. If anyone has any ideas how you can solve these problems without giving up some authority to international agencies I would love to hear it. The U.S. can not survive as an island, nor can any country in the world. None. The sooner we face up to our collective problems and work together, the better chance our children will have.
