Okay, the Art of Compromise, Let's Make A DOGE!

[BAstoicguy]

We can accede to your well wishes and remain good, faithful, participating members of NATO and the UN, if you would be willing to humor our sense of fiscal responsibility and allow those entities to become entirely self-funding (self-actualized and mature, like adults and not spoiled, enticed brats).

Who would not want to do their part to contribute to World Peace AND Prosperity?

It really is a no-brainer; for the CHILDREN.

Then again...,

Do we really need another layer of benevolent tyrannical elite, albeit international (implying erudition, education and possibly breeding), aristocrats to to enjoy being left alone to pursue our happiness?

Why yes, of course.
I think a simple anecdotal story about my cat would be appropriate here.
See, I got up yesterday morning to feed and her and she was nowhere to be found. Usually, the sound of the can opener would be her trigger to come running for food, but not yesterday morning. What had happened was - I accidentally had locked my closet door and she was stuck in there.
My cat also is a fan of listening to old REO Speedwagon. And that's my NATO story to match yours.

How can the UN or NATO be self-funding? They have no taxing authority.

Fairness is equality right? I think that every agrees that if I join an organization dedicated to world peace, then obviously, it must be fair, everyone must be respected, everyone must have a say, a vote.

And therein lies the rub, the one our Founders dealt with when establishing both the House and the Senate, if everyone is equal, then those "less equal" have the power to be "more equal" by consensus, i.e., they wield influence disproportionately to their ability or means. Now, if they are to be equal, they they must pay an equal share, is that not fair? Well, no! one cries, for a dollar is dear to the little and little to the great, they should foot the bill, but then, does not fairness demand a proportionately weighted vote?

Should not meritocracy and success be your leader and not failure, squalor and supplication?

Then, how do you stop the big from running roughshod over the little?

A Senate.

You can suckadick too.

The Senate turned out to be a really bad thing for the U.S. Why should anybody else copy it? Or is that your point --- that the UN is dysfunctional because every member state has an equal vote?

Are you distributing Sads? It seems like some folks are getting a sad and blaming you for it.


Somewhere out there, a sloth is sound asleep.

This is the Lit. What we do to oxen is . . . different.

DON'T!

Well don't leave us in suspense, friend.
1) Is your cat okay? Does he/she suffer any lasting effects of starvation?
2) How vintage is your cat's REO Speedwagon playlist? Classic "Ridin' the Storm Out" REO or that 1980 dreck "Hi Fidelity"?

Isn't this your jumping off point for your "Equal opportunity means equal outcome! It must!" canned rant?

I think that every agrees that if I join an organization dedicated to world peace, then obviously, it must be fair, everyone must be respected, everyone must have a say, a vote.

No organization dedicated to world peace would have you as a member. Your toxic personal philosophy runs counter to the idea of "world peace"

And therein lies the rub, the one our Founders dealt with when establishing both the House and the Senate, if everyone is equal, then those "less equal" have the power to be "more equal" by consensus, i.e., they wield influence disproportionately to their ability or means.

We tried that already....remember coloreds and injuns only counting 3/5 of a white man? Fought a war over it and everything. The white patriarchy failed in the Civil war and now must live with the consequence of their failure.

Should not meritocracy and success be your leader and not failure, squalor and supplication?

"Failure, squalor and supplication" ought to be on your family's coat of arms, if it isn't already.

Then, how do you stop the big from running roughshod over the little?

A Senate.

A Senate filibuster, to be more precise. It ensures the Tyranny of the Butthurt Minority, now and forever.
