why not? In some contries. an act is presumed to be illegal unless it is specifically legalized. In America, if something is not specifically prohibited, such as applying for unemployment while filing a lawsuit is no prohibited, so have at it. This reminds me of a Russian story by Chechov, The Man who always wore a raincoat, who ranted against bicyclists because there was no law allowing bicycles. -JB
