Man, if this doesn't sink of my books. It hard to have written speculative fiction and see the basic plot unfold. Sure making projections is the name of the game in speculative fiction but those projections shouldn't be coming to fruition in the authors lifetime.

    Me too. You didn't have a hand in writing It's A Small World, did you? That ride scares me more than Space Mountain since it takes almost a week to get the tune unstuck from my head. You know, you could use that as a torture method instead of waterboarding.

    SOYBEANS!!!

    I told ya! Ma Chalmers stands up in the UN General assembly, takes a bow, and says "See, we progressive Pullmonger Hyperpolitico-Moocher Liberals told you so. Now shut up, cede your lives to the leadership of Mr. Thompson and my son, Kip, and buy my soybeans, because that's all the UN will allow you to eat while you, you capitalist pigs of the Military Fatcat States of America, sustain the Downtrodden People's Republics of Everywhere-else-istan, and their glorious working-class proletariat who have less than you..."

    My God, how this article has me roaring... ;-)

    It's very OK to make light of the subject. You had me humming "Don't Fence Me In" all day and making up new (and obscene) lyrics.

    The UN should get out of New York, and move to Haiti for 3 years, and then move to Somalia for 3 more, and then....you pick ...

    I remember there was a controversy a few years back at the APS but I missed reading the resignation letter. Thanks. It's great!

    If you listen to Farmer news. You would see that for next few years there will be less meat in the market because of our having the same number of beef as we did in 1951 on the range right now. And it will take 6 years to the bring the numbers up and that would take rain for that to happen.

    The League of Nations buildings are still standing in Geneva. Maybe the UN (minus the U.S.) could move there?

    All of our pianos were broken up and sent to the freezing masses in the Ecuadorian Peoples Republic for firewood... We have... Chinese Kazoos and Kettle Drums.

    Thanks for the lyrics. We can now gather around the old piano and sing a timely song. Before there's no piano, or house to put it in. Or meat on the table. Or, as in the Atlas Shrugged movie, gasoline fill-ups costing $800.

    Me thinks you got that right,Rev. My mind is wandering to some beautiful deserted islands I have seen. One could be turned into a UN zoo. All the cruise ships could circle it and look at the UN-animals through complimentary binocs.

    Give me meat, lots of meat, coal and oil for my cars.
    Don't fence me in.
    I want jobs for the folks 'neath the starry skies above.
    Don't fence me in.
    If you tread on my land and my sovereignty
    You might find out about my liberty.
    Put your report where the sun don't see.
    Don't fence me in.

    Come on....sing along.

    Think of the potential of the UN building as a housing development for the homeless.
    We needed to be out of the UN a long time ago. It does not have the best interest of the free countries of the world in mind. Just subjugation of the world to its agenda of power.
    An island somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic, or Pacific, should be its new home.

    To state the obvious, the US should get out of the UN and the UN should get out of the US.

    By all means, let's not invest in research on how to generate cleaner power from coal, the most abundant accessible energy source on earth.
    Generation companies just bury their heads in the sand instead of trying new technology.

    I am so tired of hearing, "It's too risky. Let somebody else do it first."
    Who do these spineless managers of outdated technology have in mind? The Chinese? The oil industry?
    Dinosauric thinkers!

    In their global wealth redistribution scheme they will never figure out that some people will NEVER fend for themselves. Haiti is a prime example.

    Good point and sadly true. I have to wonder how these smaller island nations are going to fare in this scheme. The seldom have the resources or the labor to make them players on a global scale.
