     There you have it!  Keep your hands off the President's wife and
     you should be safe.... May want to keep your hands off the president,
     he might not like you rubbing up on him... :-)

     No, they call that Taxes / IRS

     My deposit's getting smaller and smaller!

     Just curious, but do you carry your passport around with you when
     shopping?  You know that RFID is just the kind of stuff Walmart uses....
     Having that in your pocket allows them to track every item you pick up
     (interested in) and match it up to you, follow you to other stores they
      have connections with and then determine if you bought something else
      where because it was cheaper, better, etc. Or where you plnning to
      return to buy the item.... Granted, in cases like that i'd have to
      have fun with them and pick up every item on every shelf and help them
      with their inventory..... I walk out of the store and they tally up how
much I picked up and they know exactly how many items they presently have in
      the store... :-)

 DD> Australians obviously don't see any problem with it - 
 DD> maybe they vote in more trustworthy politicians....
     Nah, most likely they just don't know better, and believe 
     anything....
