Last time people invent bow and arrow to shoot boar and pig, now they use aeroplane to shoot a building... and a 10 ton bomb to sink a city ...
Think about it... human is the most dangerous animal ... nobody can control human including human itself ... and nature of human is destruction, possesif, ego, power, pleasure, pride, survival... Imagine Singapore on year 3000 ... how much is the price of 1 m square land here? Of course if we can move and inhabit moon or mars, then it should be fine ... if not? Let's say Singaporean is 100,000,000 people? Indonesia now is about 220,000,000 population already, and human population increase like crazy century after centuries...
People will getting wild to compete and killing each other just to "survive" right? ... human nature ... so eventually: killing is legal in order to ourself not to be killed ...
Yes... COLONIZATION could prove to be one of the BIG problems in the future (if human still exist then...), that's why EVIL have to exist... To do some 'deeds' like KILLING... Set a little 'balance' to the world population perhaps many would like to think of as in the WRONG way.... But it's just all like an ECOLOGICAL SYSTEM....
And talking about SINGLE currency, SINGLE RELIGION and SINGLE GOVERNMENT...? It's NOT that it's not possible... But it's just a SENSITIVE issue.... Just like KOF have mentioned, the world ECONOMY has its way of 'survival' and PUSHING effect... <- Though I must admit that I haven't know much about it to comment on this subject YET.... But I believe a DRIVING FORCE I should see it as quite a GOOD PLAN.... Not that there're no alternatives to it... (Just not easy to be accepted, UNLESS like you've mentioned... A single government... Things should be easier then... Then again.... Read on..)
Single government? POSSIBLE...? YES... But who would GIVE IN 1st...? Hehheh... Let me say an 'UGLY thing' here... The governments know how they rule their countries...?

Who would wanna be ruled the SAME WAY...?

How should power be divided out...? DEFENCE? How do people PROTECT themselves under a SINGLE COLONIZATION...? Just like the days of the DYNASTY..? THE OTHER POSSIBILITY? YEAH.... HAPPENED MANY TIMES before...? That is WAR.... Human's SELFISH attempt to RULE the world under ONE GOVERNMENT.... But NOT all people would agree on your governing system and mentality...? I AGREE with you that a SINGLE GOVERNMENT could prove to be a MOST WONDERFUL and EFFICIENT scheme.... THEN AGAIN, it could just be EQUALLY as BAD.... A BAD or LOUSY ruler is all it takes to DESTROY the ENTIRE CIVILISATION.....
Single religion..? How CLOSE to it can you get...? With FREE-THINKERs around somemore? FORCE people to BELIEVE...? Just the minor disagreements on religious topics in this forum would bring to such 'hooha'... SENSITVE? Yes... EXTREMELY SENSITIVE... With terrorist AIMLESSLY using 'jihad' as a EXCUSE SHIELD people STILL fall for it... Can you imagine COLONIZATION using RELIGION? I can ASSURE you it is as BAD as using SKIN COLOR, GENDER, STATUS and such.... PREJUDICING... The REASON is because RELIGION is a THINKING thing... And HUMANs are THINKING creatures... It's NOT uncommon for humans to think DIFFERENTLY... Trying to FORCE people to THINK in your way just DOESN'T work... It's just DECEIVING yourself...? Why be SO HARD on the others if all they wanna do is just to THINK differently..? I know your style Lex... You don't force people... NO OFFENCE, but doesn't mean other people won't...? Given the 'right' POWER and AUTHORITY.... Do you read on HISTORY... I HATE HISTORY.... BORING stuffs... But stories on COLONIZATION relying upon a certain religion can always be SO UNFAIR... SO CRUEL... SO 'alien' like... Given the RIGHT RECOGNITION.. In the NAME of 'GOD'..... I'm a DEVIL Lex... Where should I go to..? Do you ACTUALLY BELIEVE that after the day I DIE, you would simply live HAPPILY EVER AFTER...?

SINGLE COLONIZATION could PROVE to be on of the GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTs in HUMAN HISTORY... IF... And ONLY IF.... DONE the 'RIGHT WAY'....

In LIGHT I shall FEAR NOT. FOR what I AM is CUT so DEEP inside of ME.
I LIVE my FLESH and SOUL ONLY to BLEED for the OTHERS.
FEAR ME NOT. FOR I AM YOUR 'MASTER'. GIVE YOU STRENGTH. FOR YOU ARE MY 'ENEMY'.
DEVIL PHRASE I
I have no 'friends' nor 'family'.
I hold no past and see not future...
These are just samples of illusions....
I don't exist, but I shall live ETERNITY..... DEVIL PHRASE II
ße COOL, NOT s¢rr¥....
