Interesting video.

Sometimes it takes an outsider to see and recognize what we can no longer consciously see in our own daily life.

We would be in deep trouble is the UN became a democracy. 191 wolves and 1 sheep deciding what to eat. Viva la República!!!

When WFB was challenged for his opposition to admitting the newly independent Congo to the UN by a reporter, he replied that they were not ready. When asked when exactly they would be ready, he responded, "When they stop eating each other."

They also have 56 armies, 56 navies, 56 Air forces, 56 governments...no wonder they dont have anything left for drinking water, food, soap, and shelter for the people. Driving back from the airport in Lusaka, Zambia, you see these colorfully dressed Ladies walking the opposite way with their suitcases on their head...yes, they're the flight attendants walking the ten miles to the airport for the return flight. Crew cars only have room for the pilots, stews have to walk!

Given the deaths from HIV, general mayhem, and disease there may be only 56 Africans total left in Africa proper in another decade.

Maybe with US funding 22% of the bill, we should get 22% of the votes, and other 'nations' likewise pro rata. Or maybe we could apportion votes by GDP, in which case Ohio alone will outvote the whole damn continent of Africa.
I know, I'm a racist, so I'll get on the bus now.
