But what would be the ultimate goal of those who presumably would be behind these developments, pure pathological INDIVIDUAL power? Bill Gates on steroids?

"I think those promoting world democracy are doing it because those promoting are sure they can then propagandize to the masses and get whatever they want through the democratic process." For a lot of elites, I'm sure that's a pretty good bet... still, there are honorable people who only wish that liberty became more wide-spread. (PS - I think that for those people, rather then use the term 'world democracy', they would probably say 'democracy in the world'. A small difference.) "Once world democracy is achieved, it would seem pretty simply enough to get the world to vote for increased powers to central world govt at the expense of individual rights and liberties." That does seem to be one of the goals of some of the EU bureaucrats... but then, bureaucrats ALWAYS seek to maximize their powers. It's the nature of the beast and must always be resisted.
