>>On behalf of my ancestors, I feel it necessary to defend their tough stance on illegal immigrants. ( though my wife claims my physical size and baldness may very well indicate at least one of my ancestresses may have thought one of those Viking tourists was kind of cute)

>Ah hah! So now it all becomes clear... expect the civil suit shortly... (I think the current apologetic political climate will be very supportive of my claim) :o) (I might have to sue my relatives as well since the other side of my family came from England)
Okay, but be prepared for the sexual harassment counter suit on behalf of my ancestresses. ( of course based on my aquiline nose they may have been putting out for the Romans too ... known as "encouraging tourism")

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
