Your Views on a world Government

Tell me, do you really think that you (or anyone else) can come up with a worldwide system cohesive and strong enough to be safely called a world government that will (A) be long-term stable, (B) be "good" for virtually everyone (ignoring for the moment that virtually everyone has a different specific definition of "good"....), and (C) have checks and balances of such near-perfection that a particularly extraordinary person or group will never be able to come along and turn this ideal government around so that it now only cares about that particular person or group?

A. Currently, no. Sometime in the future? Maybe. I'm not overly optimistic on this. Still, I think it is something to be strived for.
B. No. "Virtually" impossible condition. But I believe a world government would do more good than harm, and would be better than the current state of affairs.
C. No. But that is true of every system of government, and a new government designed with that threat in mind might be better than what we have now...

As far as Im concerned the pros and cons of a world government arent much different than any other government. All forms of government run into problems trying to cover a large area. The closest we will come for a long time will be an over-seeing body over the many governments. The UN is fairly close and about as efficient as any other effort (such as the Internet which is along the same principle)
