Allan Lial: You really think being illegal is fun?

Re “How do I get in on being illegal?” (Letters, Oct. 31): In response to the gentleman’s question, it’s easy. Quit your job! There you have it.

Unless, of course, you weren’t serious in your letter to the editor and you were just bashing people you know nothing about.

Allan Lial, Stockton
