But if all of you haven’t figured out by now that the whole UNESCO World Heritage Site scam is just that - a scam to impose some sort of UN mandate to control local politics - then you are a fool indeed.
No need to resort to name-calling. A modicum of courtesy would be appreciated.
No, I haven't "figured that out yet." In fact, I dare say that 99% of all FReepers have not conducted a thorough study of this so-called "scam," and so would likewise be interested in any reasonable arguments you would care to post.
I am by no means a "friend" of the U.N., but I was unaware that being designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site was, in and of itself, that fraught with peril.
Saying "If you don't know already, you are a fool" is a troll's argument - a non-answer intended only to provoke and insult - and thus unbecoming of a FReeper interested in civil discourse.

Dresden. Elbtalbrücke. Figure out the rest for yourself.
Cultural sites can be protected by those who own them to the degree that they want to - or choose not to! - without UNESCO.
