Actually I wasn't and still am not unemployed. I was watching the video tape of my arrest the other day with my boss. My boss immediately noticed I was wearing my work badge and it was clearly visible on the video. That was pretty funny.

I saw them coming, and I knew I'd be arrested. I didn't struggle except to push against them so they could arrest me outside. But they wanted to arrest me inside the building away from cameras. After talking to a lawyer, he told me I have a strong case against them if I want to sue for the violation of my civil rights.

Look, you guys...either declare a revolution and get on with it, or submit to the will of your Lords and Masters in Washington. What do you think this is, a freaking free country or something?

Lottsa bosses wouldn't react like yours. That is a stroke of good fortune for you.

Just goes to prove an old quandary once and for all, that British humo(u)r might not travel that well... we now know it doesn't.
