...kinda like going through the Canada/US border and having them ask,
"Are you carrying any weapons, narcotics or other contraband?" -- the
ultimate comback (IMHO) is, "What were you looking for?"

Living in the limelight, the universal dream, for those who wish to seem
Those who wish to be, must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination, the real relation
The underlying theme...
