HJM,OT:Craig must be busy packing, so I post the same question to you: What is your time-line in packing and move out of 'United-States-of-All-people'? Your answer can be: "I love my country. I'll never do anything to leave this great country for all people". Be assure, you really don't have a country if you are USA citizen. Be assure though, your generous tax-contributions and kindness extended to support many people whom you really don't know why you are obliged to support, is a true picture how great this country is. See, USA owes the world, our government and the political correct force decide it's time for USA to pay back. Everyone is coming to claim back what USA owes them and we have laws to support the 'claim-process'. We event have an agency (actually many) to do just that. For Christ's sake, treat your immediate relatives (parents, brothers and sisters, spouse, domestic partner) as nice as you can, as if you are going to lose them tomorrow. You are nice enough to support others' immediate relatives anyway, there is no reason not to tread your own better. Would you vote for me if I decide to enter the political scence?

nytimes.com "Over the last few years, executives at some companies released inaccurate earnings statements and, before correcting them, sold large amounts of stock at inflated prices. At others, executives insisted for months that the recent recession would not much affect their businesses. By the time they acknowledged their error, some had sold millions of shares at prices that were just a memory. It happened at major technology companies like Oracle and Sun Microsystems (news/quote). It happened at Guess and at Xerox (news/quote), at Dollar General (news/quote), a discount retailer, and at Providian Financial (news/quote), a credit card company." "IN other S.E.C. cases, executives have often kept much of the profit they made before their companies restated earnings. This year, David A. Thatcher, the former president of Critical Path Inc. (news/quote), an e-mail provider based in San Francisco, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud and agreed to pay a $110,000 fine. He did not have to return any of the $8.6 million he made selling Critical Path stock in 2000 because he made his final stock sale in August, the month before evidence suggested that he committed fraud, an S.E.C. official said."
