-Caveat Lector-
This is news? I was under the impression that EVERYONE knew this about the
UN already... Maybe not. Perhaps this is news to some. Seems I remember
back in the 60's those signs on the side of the road... just past the
"Burma Shave" signs...
"Get us out of the U.N."... posted by the perverbial John Birch Society...
I suppose old news is new news to some.
