Deliberate steps on the path to world government?

If so, do you believe this to be a good thing, or a bad thing?

I offer no opinion at this point, I'm just trying to elicit your opinions.

Never happen.

National sovereignty and nationalism are in our DNA. We're primates and, as such, we are hard wired for organization into tribes (human) or troupes (simians). We'll never be able to shake off our need to distinguish between "us" and "them".

Hell, we can't even manage to do that within the nations and societies we've created for ourselves. Look at the political mess that's the focus of this board. We're even to the point where we literally hate each other on the basis of party affiliation, to say nothing of race or religion.
