Larry's answer to terrorism: [link\|http://www.siliconvalley.com/docs/news/svfront/ellsn092301.htm\| Inventory control of US citizens] Pardon me, but aren't visitors from other countries the main problem here? Choice quote: "`Well, this privacy you're concerned about is largely an illusion,'' he said. ``All you have to give up is your illusions, not any of your privacy. Right now, you can go onto the Internet and get a credit report about your neighbor and find out where your neighbor works, how much they earn and if they had a late mortgage payment and tons of other information.'' Typical closed source answer to a problem: shrug and accept it, and let us make it a little worse. [link\|http://www.angelfire.com/ca3/marlowe/index.html\|http://www.angelfir...e/index.html]

But if you want to drive tractors you will need a fed drivers CDL. If you want to travel outside the USA you need passport to get back in. If you want to own a machine gun you need a federal firearms dealer license. Somewhat ambivilous(not quite ambivilent) on this one but against if required to carry it at all times. Papers please. thanx, why did god give us a talleywhacker and a trigger finger if he didnt want us to use them? Randy Wayne White
