Absolutely.
Incidentally, are your trips to Jamaica mainly for vacationing, or for social studies?
Vacation -- no matter what I tell the I.R.S. Yeah, it's for vacation. I have gone, when I was president of the American Psychological Association, I did the very risky thing of having our annual retreat in Montego Bay. And it was a very productive meeting of our board. But most of the time, when I go to Jamaica, it's for vacation.
By telling you that story, you know, I repeat, I've never told that before it didn't... I don't think I even told that when I was in analysis. It's a pretty traumatic thing. I see that maid now, spreading that white tablecloth today... knowing damn well that-- they didn't even put us in a separate room. You know, that would have been bad enough, but at least would have spared us -- spared me the experience of watching these hungry kids seeing us eat.
This is probably a footnote question, but when you've been in Jamaica in recent years, have you looked at all at the Rastafarians movement?
Not systematically. I saw them. You know, I saw-- they were damn highly visible to me. They went out of their way to look repulsive, so you couldn't miss them. But I never made any systematic--
You never went back into, I think theycall it Cockpit Country, that they have?
