How sad for your claims of innocence of breaking the
law then, that you chose to attempt to import it
into _Australia_, where doing so was a clear
violation of the law. Officials in charge of
enforcing laws aren't really big fans of "but this
is legal almost everywhere else", what with laws
being written particularly and peculiarly for the
place where the enforcers hold sway, not for
"everywhere else". I just saw online a photo of a
city street sign prohibiting the wearing of socks
with sandels. It may be stupid as hell, but in that
town, that's the law. Violate it, and you can expect
to be prosecuted. Nor will your claims of innocence
be received well there, nor will those claims be
correct.

Then you will continue to send your life down a rat
hole. Yawn. Trying to teach a walrus to fly was a
mistake on my part, it seems. I make lots of them,
but unlike you, I mostly just go on with my life,
eventually. Even two divorces knocked me down for
less total time than one trivial misdemeanor
conviction has paralyzed your will and found you
wasting your free time on trivia. It would be
different if you were having an iota of effect, but
you just whine, and are mostly ignored except by
fellow whiners, changing nothing, and then whine
about _that_.

One of us sure is, but it isn't me.
