Bolas 5 #77 March 3, 2009 Quote I favor your position (I think) we should get out of world affairs. Let the UN handle it. A quote from a friend of mine: "If you're gonna do nothing, there's no better group to do it than the UN." Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I favor your position (I think) we should get out of world affairs. Let the UN handle it. Don't forget you ARE as much a part of the UN as anyone else (actually, more than most). (.)Y(.)

I have zero belief that the UN will do much of anything - and actually that would solve two problems. America wouldn't be the world police force AND we wouldn't have to do a thing with the UN. OTOH if the UN actually did something the entire world would love it.Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Economics have never been as simple as supply and demand, despite what we might learn in fifth grade. In the real world, there are other important factors, which can sometimes have a greater effect on market prices than supply and demand.Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!
