(Remembers the last time Howie drug up good news and added a negative twist to it)
On the speech issue, it's a regional inconcsistency... see the above thought bubble. I've used the word (incorrectly as it may seem to y'all) in that context all my life. As far as the US stance on the ICC, I'm in total agreement with it. I saw the thread about it going back and forth and didn't comment on it, but on the surface it reeks of possibilities for loopholes and corruption. Then again, at the moment there are a total of four people there and they don't even have a building yet, but it seems to me like any attempt to actually make use of it will be a self-defeating purpose.
