Oops! There goes the neighborhood...
We started out bickering about repro bodies and we've escalated to a full
blown arms race. Guess it does lead to the hard stuff, afterall. And to
think I just used my last Harpoon Missile!
Reminds me of Florida in the 60s. The first smugglers were just a bunch of
hippies with sailboats bringing in a load or two a year rather than get a
job and everything was done on a handshake. (So I am told.) Now you have
to count your fingers after you shake hands with the new breed of
importers.
Regards,
Jeff P
P.S. What makes you think that once you've handed over the weapons, even
the "hard cash in your hand" is not revocable? Count those fingers...
