The United Nations is also like locusts. Wherever it goes, it starts looting and rapine. That makes it comparable with a mercenary army, as well. Which they, essentially, are if you have ever checked how they pay their "Peacekeepers". I see the UN as a sort of cancer that corrupts good cells into bad ones that eventually kill its host.

It kind of reminds me of the New Yorker cover. I'm so subtle, sometimes I don't even get myself. Sorry for the satire. It kind of reminds me of the New Yorker cover.

They are, however, a very good tool for destruction, entropy, death, and decay. THe UN wields the rod of punishment and the scepter of enlightenment.

I assumed that as I understood, it was too absurd to be anything other than tongue in cheek. I'll think about it. How about "you're right - that's what the Left and the Palestinians want " and "it's totally absurd" both? You may be right.

I’ll think about it.

How about “you’re right – that’s what the Left and the Palestinians want ” and “it’s totally absurd” both?
