  Are those the only choices? World government or jingoistic nationalism? Do
  tell what you plan to do if this world government starts acting like all
  governments have, ie, starts violating our rights? Move to the moon? Also,
  how do envision the structure of this government? The UN, only with real
  military force, and a legislature with the power of law over all of us?
  A US-style system? A European-style parliamentary system? What?

  I should think we ought to get national, subnational, and local governments
  in line before we start one at the global level.

  Sorry, don't smoke.

  Why? Can one be opposed to world government and *not* be a nationalist or
  "patriot"?
