DOH! really you mean we can not set a world government up right now!
GEE! come on I am only talking of long term goals values and
priorities. Obviously we need to line up a complex federal system
with many levels of power enschrined in a constitution with guarentees
of reginal autonimy etc etc etc all I am talking about is having a global
legislature that is democratically elected by global universal sufferage
that has an army and the power to enfore human rights across the planet.
The means of escape from a democratically elected government is through
VOTING not MOVING by the way.
