There ya go yielding to some ethereal "sensible guidlines and overwatch." Who decides when to enforce "sensible guidelines and overwatch" over your democratically chosen 4-year wonders?

Keep in mind what I and the OP are advocating is a Democratic world government- ideas can be debated without fear(mostly) and change without violence in such a state- thats what leads to options. In truth, you'd have the entire world to bounce ideas off, to be inspired by.

It seems like you are spending too much time pondering self-appointed philosophers of the blogishere. You sound like a garden-variety right-winger. Next, you'll be claiming to support freedom of choice for one's healthcare. We've come too far in our transition from the old America to a progressive state to allow that to remain the norm.
What if your world "democracy" simply votes out community in favor of secession back to individual sovereign nations? What if they were free to simply choose to exist on their own apart from the needs of the world, making their own decisions based on their 'local' situations and needs? You really do sound like a Individualist Conservative.
