U.N. Announces they don't like bad things. Promises to do nothing about it.

UN officials call for intensified efforts to eliminate violence against women

Once again, the U.N., in an effort to pretend that they care about anything other than their own jobs, have announced that they don't like violence against women. That is good. Why don't I announce that I don't like violence against women. It is likely to be as effective as the U.N. announcement, and cost millions less.

Considering how many repressive organizations are members of the U.N. I am amazed they could even manage to get agreement to announce their concern. After all, many of their member nations believe that women are second class citizens, with less rights than property. Many of their member nations are hate mongers and dictators. Many of their member organizations harbor terrorists. And they want us to believe that an announcement from on high will do something to change the world?

The U.N. is nothing more that another bureaucratic organization more concerned with looking good than actually doing anything about the problems they claim to deal with.
