Making the United Nations Palatable

The US doesn't support the United Nations that much as the US isn't going to let anyone run the world if it isn't doing it.  We see the consequence of that type of thinking through the explosions around the world.  Republicans want the United Nations to fail.

In the workplace, your best strategy is usually to find the most bad-ass one in there and, just like kids in high school, square off on this person.  If you're at least halfway cool, you'll team up and you'll own the place.

Or you can do what the US and Russia and China do.

Nationalism is a beautiful thing when it applies to the culture and traditions of a people as there's a lot of difference between us and the differences are fascinating.  Nationalism has nothing whatsoever to do with killing people as this will invariably come at the whim of the leaders who usually can't be trusted to make such decisions.  Based on the history of the last fifty years, you can never trust them to make such decisions.

Therefore, for all people, the leaders have to be contained in such a way that they still feel like they really do something but which prevents them from being as destructive as they typically get.  Not true?  Really.  What did America build in the last fifty years that will last any significant period at all.

Oh, you say the International Space Station.  Well, isn't that precious.  Maybe you will see the irony someday.  There's no evidence anyone sees it now.


I'm not all that familiar with the actual voting structure within the United Nations except to know that every country is represented but the Security Council has the big dogs and they can override anything.  It's been good for getting medicine to some children and other things of that nature but those are not the original purpose of the League of Nations.

Although I don't necessarily recommend it after observing the treasonous gridlock in the US Congress, it may be that countries would feel better represented in the UN if there were a House of Representatives to cover countries based on population and a Senate in which each country has two ambassadors.  As it stands, they've confused the decision-making apparatus such that it really doesn't matter what other countries think so long as there is agreement on the Security Council.  The others are just there to listen to pompous speeches.

(If it's not treason to state specifically that your purpose is to stop America from doing anything for eight years simply to get Obama out of office ... if that's not treason, what is it.  If not treason, it's certainly the most blistering incompetence the country has ever had to endure.)


Full support of the United Nations is another agenda item for the platform of the Psychedelics Party.  The second agenda item is to come up with a cooler name.
