One World Government?

[Epimethean]

For a government on such a large scale to exist we must first lose the rights to freedom, happiness and all our rights to power and wealth

I have no idea what you mean by 'freedom. We have no right to either power or happiness,either innately or by law,at least in my country. The US declaration of independence mentions "the the pursuit of happiness" as a self evident right,along with life and 'liberty' (whatever that is). The notion is romantic and naive. As far as I'm aware, there is no such thing as an innate/self evident right.


I'll be fascinated to learn the supporting argument for the notion that our personal rights would necessarily vanish under a single government any more than they do now,at the whim of elected government.

This is a fair overview of what the original thinking seems to have been:
