One world

---

I'm just wondering (and don bite my hea off for it [cough cough Thor cough cough]) but why can't we just be one world instead of all of these different countries and work together for one common goal?

I don't understand why we can't. I hate war an hate and this other stuff so why don't we all just get along?

Also I'm not saying that we should Become one big country without other govorning figures.

We could just be one country with states and govonors over those states and in stead of our states being states we'd be more like counties.

It all sounds good to me and I know in reality it won't work.

Emmm, like a United Nations type thing?

It all sounds good to me and I know in reality it won't work. So you want everyone to have the exact same government setup? That's scary. Same healthcare programs, etc? It wouldn't work because not all people are the same, everyone is part of a different culture with different histories and different priorities. Besides as a single country it would be even easier for the government to control all people.

I prefer the diversity that separate countries provide. Like the example you gave of different healthcare programs. Apparently it is the choice of Americans (obviously not all) for having no social healthcare system, while countries like France and Britain have them. I have the option to go to the country of my choice that offers the services that I'd prefer. If all countries were run under the same legislations, I wouldn't be able to escape certain bad ideas.

I ment more of an United Nation thing except to be more in control.

Perhaps more like the European Community, where there are separate governments, but people are free to live and work in any nation within the community?The main difficulty about doing that on a world-wide scale is that it would presumably make the nations economically more even, which would be good for the poorer nations but unwelcome for the richer nations. Someone did recently suggest that all migration controls should be lifted, so it's beginning to be talked about, but I think it's a long way off still.

To be honest, we all know that some time it will be one world.

it's nice to think of the rather Utopian visions of Earth that Gene Roddenberry dreamed. Of course, his view was kind of American-centric. But that's to be expected, after all, he was American.

It seems to me that if there was a seat of world government to form, it would likely begin in Asia.

Anyway, I like the idea and think that it might almost be a natural progression of mankind. I'm also sure there is a hell of a lot of conflict in this world's future before we achieve a state of unity.
