Superman as the ultimate illegal immigrant

I have to tell you about this interesting Letter to the Editor I read in the Financial Times (all copyrights acknowledged). Anyone following the illegal immigrant debate in the US knows the basic issues - entering the country without valid papers, continuing to live in the country without the legal right to do so, getting education and leading a normal life by staying "under the radar", getting a job by using probably faked papers or without the right documents, finally using "people power" to get the right to stay on! The writer of the mail (sorry sir, forgot your name) drew interesting parallels between the life of a typical immigrant and the life of Superman as we know it. And he goes on to point out that this time the immigrant's trip back has to be interplanetary and not just international.

For those, not worried about any of these issues, here is a link to Superman trivia. Remember, you take responsibility for how you spend your time!
