The break-ups you refer to are short-term trends. I am talking about long-term trends on the order of centuries. People want safety. The reality with nuclear weapons is that we live in a rather dangerous world right now. A world government with a proper constitution could be much safer than what we have right now....
No, the breaks up of nation states - Spain is another - is not some new fad.
Catalonia in Spain is looking for independence - its identity goes back far further than the existence of the nation state of Spain.
Just what kind of constitution do you think 7 billion people would agree to ?
Who would control this government - the Western economies ?
You would just invite civil war.
...in a sane, one-government world, nuclear weapons could be held in reserve to defend Earth from invasion by alien life forms...
OK, I stopped reading at this point.
