Oh, for example, you write in your autobiography or in a blog that you once smoked a joint (but didn't inhale) when you were a boy in France. If the government decides they want to deport an immigrant, they start looking for trivial infractions. With such a rule, they always find something. Even Jesus would be deported (he vandalized a money changers' offices). yrs, andreas www.andreas.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
