No kidding. There's meaning in there, but you have to sort of lightly taste the scent and flavor of the individual words instead of trying to digest their literal meanings after they've been bricked together with the indigestible morter of grammar. We lawyers have an unfair advantage here, with the olfactory forked tongues and all. If I were ever to find myself a political prisoner, I'd be sore tempted to hire John to write my habeus petition. -- Daniel
