That's why I never pursue the thought to argument in its favour. The current arrangement is bad but it's not worthless and it keeps the peace to some degree. Perhaps we could just send the politically correct to another planet, as did the Golgafrinchans with their unwanted echelons.

International organizations dealing with specific areas of interest are fine, but an overarching body like the UN would seem to be necessary only in the event of an alien visitation and subsequent interplanetary negotiations. And I suspect that in the 1950s many supporters of the UN fully expected something like this to happen - with all those flying saucers buzzing around.Mark Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506844097173520312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-72119917035000601742011-07-07T18:23:11.811-07:002011-07-07T18:23:11.811-07:00Nothing is perfect in this world.Nothing is perfect in this world.anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02931330128135957439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-85926435592008135542011-07-07T17:19:58.335-07:002011-07-07T17:19:58.335-07:00Ana, I think the UN had acted with effectiveness p...Ana, I think the UN had acted with effectiveness prior to 1950.
