Because this is a talk-shop, not a dictatorship? I'm not sure what the point of excluding them or even putting limits on their participation would be when they're the ones that need to hear the conversation.
I genuinely think the failure of the American education system to educate on what the UN actual is, is very deliberate and indeed successful.
I know what the UN is. They don't pay taxes and park in handicap parking spots. One time I was blocked from going to a public park because some UN fuck was there. I keyed one of his Mercedes SUVs and proud of myself for doing it.
Hearing a conversation and leading it are two very different things. I'd suggest avoiding stones when speaking from a glass house..
They're the ones that need to hear the conversation, but are they the ones to lead the conversation?
Do you understand that a conversation is not a lecture? They are taking their turn in a rotating chair position. It would be weird if they didn't.
Do you?
This isn't a conversation, this is a lecture, because you have nothing to contribute.
