Actually, Mr. Mephisto, I -am- a Libertarian. I -am- rebelling against my own government ( not violently; the need for that has not been reached and hopefully never will be ), but I am doing my bit.
Secondly; as for these programs -NOT- being "Armed robbery" what else do you call it when a government or organization holds a gun to your head and demands your money? It doesn't matter how noble the purpose; that money was still STOLEN by threat of violence.
As for my description of the UN: what else do you call a body that elects Sudan ( Genocide, anyone? ) and Libya ( Pan-Am 103 ring any bells? ) to the Human Rights Council? What else do you call a body which proposes a thing like the Law Of The Sea Treaty, whereby the 2/3 of the world that's LANDLOCKED can vote on how the 1/3 of the world which uses ship gets to use the ocean? ( This is one of King George II's babies, btw. ) Poland gets to tax Japan to use the Open Seas under this monstrosity; how is this NOT despotism?
Finally, nofnway asked for opinions; I gave mine. I can provide a more thouroughly researched and sourced opinion if you'd like; I'll post it first thing in the morning. For now, I'm going to bed.
