It is as appealing as cancer. Rockefeller's conclusion was flawed because he doesn't understand the issues.


You have the seedlings of world government at the UN...check up on the radicals who founded it : and now dictators, murderers, etc who suppress their own people, prohibit women from driving or voting, outlaw religions different from the majority, practice extermination of other races or tribes, and some cultures that maime women sitting..all sitting on the UN Human Rights Commission?, for example. Cuba? Iran? A number of African dictatorships...Jolly good show!

Among those most at risk under any world government: minorities of any type, whether via race, religion, or national origin plus gays, jews and women.


--Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis (1856-1941)
"Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the Government's purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding."


Ronald Reagan
"Government exists to ensure that liberty does not become license to prey on each other." --Ronald Reagan
