Get the UN out of the US

For years, certain right-wing groups, such as the John Birch Society, in particular, have been saying, "Get the US out of the UN." I have no problem with the United Nations, in principle. The body has done a lot of good. Sure, there are problems, but let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Instead, let's move the baby and the bathwater.

The UN takes much more from New York than it gives to the city. When they hold General Sessions, and especially when the President comes, the traffic in New York is a nightmare. Streets close, busses change their routes, and there is no parking.

The UN should be moved to Switzerland, a so-called neutral country. New Yorkers are tired of the UN and all the inconveniences it's presence here causes.
No, don't get us out of the UN. Get the UN out of the U.S.
