Perhaps you'd like to tell me that the police in the USA can stop any/all vehicles on a public road and search them any time, without any reason to suspect they're transporting something illegal? That the police in the USA can enter & search any & all houses in case there are illegal substances/activities occurring? If so, you're worse off than I am where I live, which would only mildly surprise me. Here the Govt has difficulty in trying to legally search vehicles on a public highway for smuggled tobacco. Since the tax rates got so high, tobacco smuggling has become very lucrative which I also think is funny. Law of diminishing returns.... Whatever. Designer I know in the USA registered his personal vessel in Panama just to avoid the unceasing and increasing USCG rules, plus he wanted the right to travel peaceably without being sarched by the US Navy. Guess a person who's a quintessential American individualist who likes his pre-WOD freedoms of movement looks like some antisocial individual these days. Your loss. Peter Wiley |

Hands on the hood!" Funny. I spent two summers driving two different foreign cars (though not sports cars--a Morris Minor and a Volvo PV444) with out-of-state plates through most of rural Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina and northwest Florida in the 60s and was never stopped once. However, I think Frank's imaginings are present day imaginings, not ancient history. Or perhaps it's because they knew my license plate because I was active with SNCC during that time. The scars I have from Louisiana and Mississippi police dogs are not imaginary. But I suppose you were down there to support your brothers in the White Citizens' Council, asshole. Frank |

Sort of like Cheney, who had "other priorities" when it came to
military service. Now if we could only find out why Bushy failed to show for his physical.... -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Dave" wrote in message ...
