The five gamey border guards forced us to sit in cold white cement rooms, and denied us use of the toilet for two hours.. while they tore our car apart... My mum and dear lady peed their pants on the bench, while the nutcase border guards tossed everything from our vehicle onto the cement.. and made the car look like a tornado hit inside.. then they let us proceed into the States, laughing at us... America has gone Kookoo... And that was Before 9/11... HaH!.. Now t-shirts are illegal... Seems American police make up their own laws as they go... "Ook!.. You are wearing a blue sock, and a gray sock.. You are under arrest Old Man!" In one of the States it's now a fine for a girl's panty elastic to be showing over her lowrider jeans, while her belly-button is exposed... In another State it's illegal to ride a poney over sixty mph... All that insanity is what I call "America's Thirteen Colonies Salem Policies"... America IS a police State... More like a Zoo...

“Ook!.. You are wearing a blue sock, and a gray sock.. You are under arrest Old Man!”

In one of the States it’s now a fine for a girl’s panty elastic to be showing over her lowrider jeans, while her belly-button is exposed…

In another State it’s illegal to ride a poney over sixty mph…

All that insanity is what I call “America’s Thirteen Colonies Salem Policies”… America IS a police State… More like a Zoo…

Mr Calver accepted and capitalized on his difference and seemed to be having a happy productive life. I doubt he would have benefited from the general population being sent to "albino sensitivity" trainings. I think there is a lesson in this story for all “different” people.
