I
think idealism is the only form of realism because unless you're idealistic to
some extent, you don't have anything to look forward to, you don't have anywhere
to go. And I think there's no point in being pessimistic. After all, we're only
on this world once as far as we know. You might as well make the best of it.
the
United States is the only country that actually makes money out of the UN, contrary
to the general belief, because the UN is located in the in the United States and
spends a lot of money here, much more than the U.S. pays in dues.
The
mythology about the UN is absolutely breathtaking. People believe it costs a great
deal of money to the United States. Completely untrue: it doesn't. The United
States makes a net gain. People believe it's a world government, although the
UN is a pathetically weak organization which improvises in emergencies to try
to prevent the worst from happening.
