U.S. to Collect Unpaid Fines?

You can't be serious. The U.S. is going to collect unpaid parking tickets from foreign missions. What I find particularly funny about this one is the fact of the American's own record in this regard. Ottawa also suffers from the same problem. While my figures are a couple of years old, I suspect things haven't changed very much. The biggest source of unpaid fines in Ottawa is the U.S. Embassy. Combine this with the fact that the U.S. also has the largest amount of unpaid U.N. dues and this seems to make the U.S. position somewhat hypocritical. Oh, I get it, the rules that the U.S. would have the rest of us live by don't apply to them. Well, maybe they have corrected this little oversight in the last couple of years, but somehow I doubt it. Another fine case of the U.S. leading by example. You might want to take notice of the goings on in Kiev these days George and Hillary. The continued mockery of the system of democracy currently being enacted in the U.S. will eventually lead to the same chaos there as is being seen elsewhere as people become more informed and begin to take great exception to these types of false direction and hypocrisy.
