A blog by a friend of mine, who is very thoughtful on matters of culture/philosophy, politics: "The Likeness of an Appearance of a Blog". He just started, but he's committed to keep going with it.

(To be clear: his view points are probably quite different from many of ours - oftentimes, orthogonal? - but I relish the challenge. As I said, he's a friend, so feel free to go and comment, but be good. Seriously. Feel free to comment here as well.)

Yesterday, he posted "Hegemony", an article arguing in favor of a hegemonic global government.

My initial comment was that, while I am reasonably suspect of a single centralized global governing body, there are virtues to global governance, in a holistic (rather than piecemeal) way. At the very least: corporations should not be the *only* kind of organization exerting transnational power. (Neither does government, clearly.)
