Stay In Your Car And Keep Your Mouth Shut

That's the best advice I can think of, after reading this harrowing account of a Canadian writer being convicted in a U.S. court last week after he got out of his car at a border crossing to ask what was going on. He was first physically assaulted by a border guard, then arrested, and now convicted of a crime that may see him serve up to two years in prison. That place to the south of us just keeps on getting crazier.
