Yes! Supposedly..... we here in the south still seem to have problems with those Yankees after we beat them in the great war they still sneak south and try to infiltrate our land! But we can find them! Just ask some one if they have any ID , if they don't ask 'bout wut? Arrest them immediately!

If it's tourist season why can't we shoot them?

It has generally been held that in 1322 he appeared as the provincial of England at the celebrated assembly of the Franciscan order at Perugia, and that there he headed the revolt of the Franciscans against Pope John XXII; but, according to Little (English Historical Review, VI, 747), the provincial minister on this occasion was William of Nottingham. Probably, however, Occam was present at the assembly. His share in this revolt resulted in his imprisonment, on the charge of heresy, for seventeen weeks in the dungeons of the papal palace at Avignon. He and his companions -- Michael of Cesena, general of the order, and Bonagratia -- managed to escape, and found their way to Munich, where they aided Louis IV or V of Bavaria in his long contest with the papal curia. It was for Occam's share in this controversy that he was best known in his lifetime.

from William of Ockham

It was one of the few truly stupid things he ever said, so it kind of stands out...

He was lucky he wasn't in Rome at the time, he would have been killed there and then if he did that in the city walls... Yeah he was imprisoned, as was anyone who disagreed with the Pope
