this is the u.n. mantra molded after the jesse jackass extortion suckces story. give us a world tax and we will buy your safety from turdworld shitholes, if you don't give us money we have no control over what happens and 'they will make you pay.'

i also find it ironic that the post office announced their 37 cent postage stamp on the day that england announced their stamp tax in 1765 (All pamphlets, almanacs, newspapers, all bonds, notes, leases, policies of insurance, together with all papers used for legal purposes, in order to be valid were to be drawn on stamped paper, to be purchased only from the king's officers appointed for that purpose.)
hopefully, this country will wake up before it is too late and realize that the rest of the world is only our friend as long as their hand is in our pockets.
