Am I the only one to really want to know what Chippy's question is?

Re: This USA forum is harsh....
Chippy has a point. In my prior identity on these forums a lot of harsh abuse was directed my way -- and one day I just had had it.
This area of law if of personal interest to me -- and I try to nudge people off of bad tracks. It is a lot easier for me to do that even if people do think I am "cryptic." Actually, it is US immigration law and its interpretation that is cryptic, obscure, and usually quite absurd.
My favorite marching song in the US Army was to the tune of Colonel Bogey and described what makes the grass grow green. There is a lot of green grass in immigration.
Also, I like to quote Paul Simon these days: "Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest."
I have moved away from my old quotation from Mr. Simon: "The trouble is all inside your head she said to me. The answer is easy if you take it logically. I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free."
Peace.
