Maurice, your assertion that ANY kind of world government will be good for us is the nuttiest idea you've come up with yet.

If you mean any kind of world government that has more than an infinitesimal chance of happening I would agree. I can think of theoretical ways that a world government could be set up that could be beneficial but the odds of any world government in the next 100 years are low, and the odds of a world government that actually amounts to a beneficial change for Americans are much lower still.

A stable and effective world government with a high level of federalism/subsidiarity, strong rule of law, a fair degree of libertarianism might be beneficial but that's a little like saying that if pigs had wings maybe they would fly. It isn't going to happen in my lifetime.
