My cow-orker, Rekha, also just returned from India last weekend, and she told me she had a lot of difficulty getting through customs. "I think the only reason they let me through was because I was travelling with Kev." Her white husband.

For a long time I've contemplating moving to Canada as an act of political protest. This is becoming a mroe attractive posibility all the time.

Wouldn't it be just as effective and less expensive to write to your congressunit?

Writing to my congressunit might be just as effective as an act of political protest, but you see, I'd still be in the USA after I'd done it. I have a great respect for the ideals and principles this country was founded upon, and just as soon as the government starts to respect them again. I'd be happy to live here. But as it is, if one more person says "Love it or leave it" I'm leaving the instant I'm out of school.

OK. I mean, if you're looking to change *your* situation, I can see doing that. If you're looking to make a statement, it seems like an expensive and ineffectual move.
