But then, a couple of days ago, I had a great idea. Why not have a directly-elected parliamentary assembly at the UN - and I mean directly-elected, by the populace of the various countries of the world, not appointed by national governments.
Given that so many supranational institutions have so much power in the world (multinationals, the World Bank/IMF, etc), but are not, or are unfairly, controlled by national governments, shouldn't there be a proper, democratically-elected body that might be able to act as a check on these?
Well, blow me down, if the very next day I didn't discover that loads of other people had had the same idea, and in fact launched a campaign for the UNPA that day.
It's possible that I'm confusing the chain of events here, and that in fact I hadn't given a single thought to the idea of a UNPA until after I'd heard about the campaign...

Your logic is flawed; how does universal currency end nuclear armaments?

One country = nobody to attack.

Maybe when we discover life on other planets it will give us a reason to unite against them as one big planet. But then, what would happen to all the god-believers. Is it possible that god created 2 planets? OMG ;/

Genesis 15:1 And so came the Zorgwaffles upon the Earth in their heavenly tripods, for they were created in the image of our LORD's pet.
