rather simple : the game is sometimes played by those that dont know the duration of the game. True. I think nobody 'knows' the game. In the context I used the phrase 'America is the game', I meant America is the ideal. Nobody lives up to ideals, the aim and strive towards them. Paul

Kumar I have a serious question. In my area we have a large Indian population. Now, there is this sort of urban legend that I always hear from US born folks. The claim is that Indians can come to the US and start a business without paying taxes, for a certain amount(7?) of years. At the end of the tax free period, as the story goes they transfer the ownership of business to new immigrants that they sponsor, so as to not pay taxes. Is any of this true, part of it, none of it? The reason I ask is because I have been hearing this story for years and it is often said in the context of resentment. I would love to refute it......
