Aren't we paranoid enough as it is?
Don't make me go get the numchucks ...

Remember that song - "... Sign sign, everywhere a sign, blocking all the scenery ... wait ... here they are - What ever happened to spirit like this???

"Signs by: Five Man Electrical Band
Lyrics by: Les Emmerson
1971

And the sign said
Long haired freaky people
Need not apply
So I tucked my hair up under my hat
And I went in to ask him why

He said, you look like
A fine, upstanding young man
I think you`ll do
So I took off my hat
I said, imagine that
Huh, me workin for you
Woah oh

(CHORUS)
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blocking out the scenery
Breaking my mind
Do this, don`t do that
Can`t you read the sign

And the sign said
Anybody caught trespassing
Would be shot on sight
So I jumped on the fence
And I yelled at the house
Hey, what gives you the right

To put up a fence to keep me out
Or to keep mother nature in
If God was here
He`d tell you to your face
Man, you`re some kinda sinner

(CHORUS)

Now, hey you, mister
Can`t you read
You`ve got to have a shirt
And tie to get a seat
You can`t even watch
No, you can`t eat
You ain`t supposed to be here

Sign said you got to have
A membership card to get inside, uh

And the sign said
Everybody welcome, come in
Kneel down and pray
But when they passed around
The plate at the end of it all
I didn`t have a penny to pay

So I got me a pen and a paper
And I made up my own little sign
I said, thank you Lord
For thinking bout me
I`m alive and doing fine, woo
Log on.

(CHORUS)

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Sign, sign" ...


Here's what I'm referring to -


"UN Signs Pact with New World Court Opposed by U.S.

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United Nations signed a cooperation agreement on Monday with the new International Criminal Court, despite objections to the tribunal from the United States ..."

From what the article says, I don't think it would be that bad of an idea, as long as the court doesn't get involved in places where they don't belong.

"But supporters of the court say the ICC steps in only when a country is unwilling or unable to investigate"

So, hmm. *Thinks*

Bingo! You hit exactly on the same weak spot I did. I'm impressed.
