best to not start on illegals. not surprisingly the ones most peed off about it in this country are those that did it legally. they pay for literacy tests and all sorts of things to keep legit, the rest get it handed to them on a platter. we can afford to be hard nosed about it, there is plenty of support for that.

re the thread, I am also only young at 63, Every time i translate I know where my natural habitat is, take an animal out of it's natural habitat - not a good idea.

I often think about natural habitat when I think about a story of my dear old dad, written by an american crew chief of one of their Kittyhawks in Darwin. Dad's mob had been tasked to fly a heap of worn out american aircraft south.

"I jumped on the wing and strapped his lanky frame in, he hit the prime three times, the Alison roared into life. A slow smile spread across his face under his big ginger moustache as it settled, he lifted off and disappeared in the early morning mist."

I think the crew chief was also in his natural habitat.
