WALDO and MIB - who could pass such a law? The UN has no such powers. In fact, there is no global authority which can pass laws applicable to the whole world.
That is why it is perfectly safe to ignore such ravings, and Mib's frightening parallel is not valid.

I honestly don't know what world you inhabit Chakka, but as a citizen of the world such laws already exist in many regions of my world no part of which is entirely exempt from or immune to its influence.
Thank goodness reason finally prevailed in WWII . . . although few would seem to be aware of why and how. God forbid the intentions of many of those in the United Nations should go unchallenged by those rendered deaf and dumb to the voice of reason.

Look, the President was talking about passing laws. I ask again: who has the authority to pass a law that applies to everyone on this planet?
If you know of such a body then please name it and I will withdraw with apologies. If you can't, then my point stands.
The fact that the President does not realise that the UN could not pass such a law, or name an organisation which could, shows how ignorant he is of the world.
Within the context of his daft suggestion there is no bud to be nipped.
