The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I am starting to feel that way myself. We are being overrun by the unintended consequences of a treaty signed 70 years ago. And we live with these consequences without question, because what other choice do we have?


Exactly. Would any other treaty signatory subject themselves to this? Of course not. Let the country without sin cast the first stone, as it were.

Interesting that the asylum seekers streaming through our southern border had to pass through a number of other countries that also signed the same treaty and therefore in theory have the same "obligations" that we do. Yet the asylees flow right through them looking for a better deal in the USA.

It seems to me that there is a way to interpret the treaty and stay within its bounds, yes, by looking at the language and addressing your point here.

And present day realities make it imperative we do the same.

You said it, brother.
