"Only" 200 years ago? Here's what Jefferson Davis said about slavery some 150 years ago (yes I googled it :p :)

"[Slavery] was established by decree of Almighty God...it is sanctioned in the Bible, in both Testaments, from Genesis to Revelation...it has existed in all ages, has been found among the people of the highest civilization, and in nations of the highest proficiency in the arts." Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America.

Perhaps you do not realize this, but the Confederate States Of America are no longer in existence. :p : (except in Talledega)

I am Australian and live in the US. I have to go through the same entrance procedures as every other non-US citizen/permanent resident. In fact, because I am on a work visa I have to endure sometimes more. The fingerprinting and digital photo are fast and painless. I do not find these procedures to be invasive or demeaning.

I would like to know if you have a personal experience that differs? And does this personal experience apply to ALL Fins just because they are Finnish? Because I in my many experiences of this procedure over the years have not witnessed any form of singling out of certain people.

See, Eki, that's why the Confederacy lost. That Davis fellow never knew when to keep his mouth shut. He needed a spin-doctor.

The last time I was in the US was in the year 2000, that was before the 9/11 attacks. Even then I had to first fill out some forms with stupid questions in the plane that anyone could lie to. Then I had to wait for ages in a line in the middle of the night (Finnish time) in the customs until I had to explain a customs official why I had dared to enter their precious country and where I will be staying during my visit. In the other countries I have visited, I have just walked through the customs, maybe had my luggage X-rayed or my passport stamped if asked to. Nowhere else have I gone through that kind of 3rd degree interigation.

My point was: If an idea is 200 years old, maybe it's about time to reconsider it?
