Hey, folks. Ultimately you're just gonna hafta "Do It" (perhaps offshore)and wait for a possible slap on the wrist.

It's probable that a full-fledged American police state is just around the corner. At least, that's the trend.

--The Pilgrim's Axiom--

"After an unknown number of laws are
passed, the unpredictability of the behavior of an increasing number of individuals rises exponentially due to this newly *manufactured* increase in criminal behavior. Chaos is usually
the end result and so more laws are written in an attempt to regain predictability.
At some point, paradoxically, lawlessness rules where law abounds."
