[Where is "here" for every list member?]
Not bloody likely, no, but Mr. Kasczynski or the Symbionese Liberation
Army could take a disliking to you for similar reasons. And you never
know where you might travel. I've got a journalist friend who's paranoid
about appearing at any political event because she's afraid she won't be
allowed back into China or Southeast Asia if it comes out that she gives
a damn about human rights.

Open your present
No, you open your present
