Heres a scenario, in which you are poorly trying to "gotcha" another poster:

"spare us any discussion about rights when you told me that i needed papers to travel in the USA" - creekdog

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1172&pid=141038

Heres the link you posted, which you try to use to characterize his position as being 180 degrees from what it actually is:

http://sync.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1172&pid=137904

And heres that poster quoting you and responding at that link:

"I shouldn't need to carry a passport to visit Arizona and Alabama (re: Immigration laws)" - creekdog

And heres that posters response:

(I agree with you about that, btw) FI

So, yes, please, tell us more about honesty and more about trolling.
