yet it also seems to me that if the jurisdictions are so unclear<br/>
then this could not be another case of illegal anything<br/>
<br/>
certainly not a clear case<br/>
<br/>
on the contrary<br/>
it is a truly clear case only of unclarity <br/>
as to whether it is legal or illegal anything<br/>
<br/>
& that is why a demarcation must proceed before we or anyone <br/>
else can hope to know which it is<br/>
<br/>
but of course in the meantime everyone is taking advantage of <br/>
everything they can<br/>
as why shouldnt they in any case</div>
