<What do see as the representative body for your "One World"?> The NUN [New United Nations], with a new constitution, being a very thin one with nearly all power remaining with the countries and only the commons and borders being involved. I don't think I'd even include human rights. Countries can figure out what to do with their own people. If they want to permit cannibalism, that's up to them. Others might prefer not to deal with them, refuse to allow any of the cannibal nationals into their countries etc, but what they do in their home town is up to them. I suppose it would run somewhat along the lines of the USA constitution, but without the burgeoning federal behemoth rewriting the constitution to usurp power from the states. Alternatively, and more likely it seems, we'll have an American Empire, a bit like the British Empire, but without the benefit of being citizens which the British Empire created for those around the world in the empire. That will have built in revolution as the USA will be taxing and controlling the rest of us while we have no representation. We know how Americans think there should be no taxation without representation. We also know how the USA now simply declares people to be "enemy combatants" "detainees" or some such legal limbo and we can be kept forever at the whim of the state. No habeas corpus or that other boring legal stuff which free societies create. Mqurice
