    I have that good fortune.

    >If so, what direct influence,
    >exactly, do you have over the justice system in the US?

    Direct? None in the sense of voting or standing for office in that great
    nation. But as a writer published regularly for more than 30 years in the
    USA, and as a poster to this list where the majority of readers are
    Americans, I do exert some small influence. It is possible that more
    Americans read my words, conveyed in print and electronically, than read
    those of anyone else on this list. I dare say very few Iraqi dictators,
    communist commissars, terrorist bombers or anyone not in Poland, Germany,
    France, Italy and anywhere where English is the common tongue would be
    influenced by anything I have to say.
