one world standard is not the same as one world government. one world full bureaucrats regulate-everything-to-death government is a dystopian nightmare. "Were we directed from Washington when to sow, and when to reap, we should soon want bread" --Thomas Jefferson "Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it." --Ronald Reagan |

This wound up being completely false by the early 1900s. Turns out people like to eat and get paid consistently more than they like imagined freedoms.

Also pretty ironic coming from someone who raised taxes 11 times after fomenting a giant populist tax cut that the country couldn't afford.
