We are 7.12 billion and growing.
Wars, starvation, disease etc and all other forms of issues which plaque us wont simply go away. You both don't see a need to eventually come together as a species for the common good of all?

Don't worry though- As Havok stated, we never have had a choice. There will be a single power, and chances are they will sort out the population problem by force.
Well that's a pretty defeatist *just bend over and take it* type attitude if you don't mind me saying so.
No fight in ya eh?
I disagree, we have the interwebs and should be able to discuss options openly among ourselves.

How do you suppose we as a species should come about this 'good for all'? Hell, most of us don't know even themselves or what is good for them. How are you then supposed to agree on 'good for all'? It almost starts to reek of socialism or fascism when you put it like that...

Another good example of what we are discussing and attempting to hash out.
What would you suggest?

We need to think outside the current political systems and cooperate. It ain't gonna happen, well not in my lifetime anyway.
Which is exactly why I've posted this topic. I wanted to get others opinions on what would be a better system. So far all I'm mostly reading is what doesn't work and why it wont happen...
Walks off scratching his head...
