Actually, I was thinking about that poor {probably} woman who was sitting there with nothing to do. I wanted to keep her employed.

And _free_? _Someone_ has to download the stuff from the computer. Ain’t nothing free.

State Law can vary widely and I personally do not agree with the subversively unconstitutional tactics that our beloved Government participates in (and by subversively unconstitutional, I mean unconstiotutional in spirit, though technically ‘kosher’)
