One world government?

It seems like it's time for a one world government. I know, I know. The first thing popping into most heads is George Bush's New World Order or something like that. That is certainly not what I'm thinking. With the success of protests throughout the world and even the uniting of what has become an international cause with the Occupy movement, the whole New World Order idea, according to Bush (and many other groups) is being threatened. Since the people are demanding to be heard, and are being heard, they are finally getting some true power, like a proper government should be.

Since this revolution is world wide and generally united in goals, there is bound to be some kind of new government system, and I'm guessing it's going to be more of an international thing. No need to gasp. There already is an international thing going on. There is the United Nations, the International Criminal Court, and the world found out how closely tied the economic system is when banks in the United States freaked out. A thing about the UN and the ICC is that not every country is involved in those organizations. And if you have enough power and influence in the world (translated money and weapons) you don't have to abide by the rules of those organizations. The United States is not involved with the ICC and has not been in international trouble for some international crimes it has committed in the recent and not so recent past, while other countries who are also not involved in the ICC get in trouble for the same crimes. I don't mean to sound like I'm anti-American. I guess it's just a bit of a disappointment that this country that has supposedly always stood on the side of "truth, justice, and the American way," even to the point of civil war, would not humble themselves to be judged. That seems to be another thing that these protests are about.

I don't think all is lost for the world. Eventually, probably after more protests and such, people will realize that we as humans have a common goal and can unite, like the international Occupy movement, and make this planet a better place for all that live on it. That doesn't sound easy. There will be different groups and individuals vying for powerful positions and wanting to do things their way. There will have to be some kind of economy that people are content with, and taxes, laws, healthcare, etc. It boggles the mind. Yet it can be done. It has been done in the past on smaller scales in various forms of government. The birth United States of America is a recent small-scale example (compared to a world government) of how a functional government can be created and persevere. It does seems like democracy is the best form of government so far, even with capitalism. As long as laws are enacted, and enforced, that keep corruption constantly in check, it could work. I suppose the human problems like greed, selfishness, and the like, that inevitably come with an economic system are just human problems that will have to be dealt with individually. Well, the international Occupy movement is not even 6 months old yet, and I'm certain there will be more protests world wide. Not to mention next year is a presidential election year in the US. I suppose we'll see what happens and hope for the best.
