Every specialist who saw her thought she was ill, but the Immigration unit that had her had just one function: deporting illegals.

That's no excuse for incompentance and thuggery. -- Jim Breen http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/ Clayton School of Information Technology, Monash University, VIC 3800, Australia ジム・ブリーン@モナシュ大学
