Hastings stayed on anyway, and was even held over for a few years when he sought to resign. This was more for his politics than his provender, however; the Overseers refused to accept the Corporation's replacement because he sympathized with the British, a fault which Hastings, for all his love of Irish butter, didn't have. Indeed, from 1771 on, the Gambrel-roofed house had rung with patriotic oratory, as members of the Speakers' Club, flanked by six candles and using a piece of two by four as a rostrum, declaimed weekly against the British...
Chapter II, Article 4 of the United Nations Charter states that "Membership in the United Nations is open to all peace-loving states which accept the obligations of the Charter and, in the judgment of the Organization, are able and willing to carry out these obligations."

For I-Thou meetings are "strange, lyric and dramatic episodes, seductive and magical, but tearing us away to dangerous extremes, loosening the well-tried context . . . shattering security." Therefore, says Buber, modern man tries to escape from I-Thou in many ways, notably...
