Okay, so not only does this say that happiness comes from virtues, but that our rights are not really all that important and that our only solution is to submit ourselves to the mercy of Global (read HUGE) government.
The Sachs view is that global organizations such as the U.N. must dictate the course of nations and individual rights must be sacrificed for the greater good. One aspect of this unfolding plan, as outlined in the Sachs book, The End of Poverty, involves extracting billions of dollars from the American people through global taxes.
The rest of the article talks about how the defining issue of our time is global warming…and not people trying to kill everyone. And this guys basically a collectivist.
Reason 1001 why I am a conservative
And reason 50001 why the US needs to get out of the UN.
I hope the next President eliminates our membership to the UN. We are a nation of individuals, not collectivists. While some bozos may advocate for this ridiculous idea, they most certainly do not represent the majority of Americans.
And global warming can be shoved where the sun don’t shine because it is NOT the most important issue of the day. The attack of individual liberties is, and if they don’t understand that, they should be let go or fired for being so incompetent.
