"...along the way the eleventh entry was dropped and a _genuine_ Robin Williams quote appended in its place: "The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying 'Give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses.' She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'You want a piece of me?'" ? Robin Williams. The 'Robin Williams' attribution for the final item was interpreted as applying to the list as a whole, so now the entire piece circulates as 'the Robin Williams plan.' ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, P.E. | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona Voice:(480)460-2350 | | | E-mail Address at Website Fax:(480)460-2142 | Brass Rat | | http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | I love to cook with wine.

They were well ahead of the Catholic church for centuries in that regard. Are they going forwards or backwards to becoming more intolerant?

There's lots of legal precedence here. If a Canadian kills a US citizen in Canada, that's a violation of US law. The French see things the same way... murdering a Frenchman anywhere is against French law. Shipping drugs into the US harms US citizens, so is reasonably a crime. John
