Seattle Convention

“To acquire jurisdiction”, in our terms, means more than it does in legal fiction. You had asked this a couple of months ago and I did not know what to say. I was at a point where I enjoyed a certain “stateless” existence. I was the high seas, a pirate, outer space that no one had exclusive control over. Yet I gave in, against all reason, and embraced all that being subject to one’s jurisdiction entailed.

I never want to say I regret it. But sometimes my heart cannot be as strong as I would like it to be.
