What do you think the world would be like if it was ruled by one central government. Tell me all the pros and cons you can think of.

Much easier to corrupt one person, is it not? We've had more corrupt presidents in America than I can count. Most notably the infamous Mr. I am not a crook.

Yes but that doesn't matter I'm not saying that they all have to be corrupt, but do you think that people will just stay in the side lines and watch 101 people get complete power. I can see organizations putting their members in power for their own benefit. Others will be threatened or bribed.

Which is why elections were invented. Nobody stays in power for to long, and that's a lot of people to bribe if you ask me.

Yeah but this is to much power located with a small region of command. Also there are a lot of organizations, even a single person could benefit them.

There's 7 billion people on the planet. A single person or a small committee wouldn't work. Everything would be proposed by the council, and they would vote on it. Sort of like the US senate. Or a parliament. It ensures that no one person gains to much power. And what organizations are you talking about?

Yeah but you get enough people it helps. Group think doesn't work the more people there are in a group means more people won't do anything because they think other people are doing a good job. Just because there are more people also doesn't mean better decisions.

No, it doesn't mean BETTER decisions, it means more efficient ones. Everybody has to vote, and everyone has to agree or disagree.

I'm just going to throw one last thing at this. 101 agreeing people is dangerous. 101 disagreeing people isn't as dangerous, and it prevents any ill ideas from becoming to large.
