Once again the United Nations is giving the industrialized nations a reason to leave the UN.  They want to form a world court to punish nations who have “historical climate debt”.  Or to put it in true terms, countries who had the foresight and intelligence not to limit its people ability to create and grow.  Would this world be better if it mirrored the African nations, or maybe the Middle East where the population on whole is illiterate and being controlled by a few in the name of some cause or religion.  How many countries do you think refused the aid money offered by the United States?  Karzai in Afghanistan is a good example of that.  Shakes our hand and thanks us for all our help, then stabs us in the back as we are leaving the room.

This “court” wants all warfare to stop.  Apparently “conflict-related activities emit significant greenhouse gas emissions”.  Historically since religion has played a big part of man’s desire to kill his fellow man, thus war, should we cancel all religions?  I’m not a religious person, but I don’t think I should get to tell someone else how to think, especially if it doesn’t affect my way of life.  If religion makes you happy, it should be part of your life.

I think the UN has proven itself to be useless and outdated time and time again.  What war or atrocity has the United Nations put a stop to?  They seem to be focused on spreading socialism and redistributing the wealth.  Not to mention raping of helpless women.  Socialism and Communism are both great, if you are at the top and in control.  You don’t go with out food, water or the other basics of life.  Being at the bottom is a different story.

If you want a good example on how this United Nations agenda will function, take a look at the Commission of Human Rights.  They have a long list of members who have shining records of giving their people a fair shake.  While accomplishing nothing!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, United States get out of the United Nations!

  The weekend the police shut down the two park blocks the Occupy Portlanders were using to set up their tents and transform into a trash pile.  In the course of my dealings with the city I walked or drove by the parks a couple of times.  They were nasty.  I had no desire to get close enough to smell them, those rumors could be left as rumors.  I would commend the police their restraint in dealing with the crowds.  The Mayor of Portland didn’t give me a whole lot of confidence in his ability to handle things.  What started out a couple hundred people turned into thousands as people showed up to support the occupiers.  The police were smart and held off until the sun came up and the additional people left. To be fair, another report stated the Mayor’s plan was to annouce a midnight evacuation then wait until the party died down and then evict them.  If that is the case it was thought out and seemed to work.  I’m still thinking it was luck the way it turned out.

Maybe if the protesters had a message or a purpose I could see it.  I read a great article on the internet today saying the protesters have to fail to prove the 1% really do control things.  If the 99% make a difference their protest was based on a false assumption.  They were able to change things and make a difference.

One difference they made was to ruin the park for the citizens who would like to use it.  If you looked at the condition of the parks after the rabble was finally driven out you can really see the difference between the occupiers and the Tea Party.  The Tea Party would never leave such a mess.  It was usually stated the Tea Party left the parks cleaner then they found it. For this protest, it will be the tax paying portion of the 99% has to pay for the clean up.  Can we call ourselves the 46%?  We are not the top 1%, the lower 53% don’t pay any federal income taxes, so…
