I really take exception to MOST. Lets compromise, I'll let you have...oh,
lets say...every once in awhile, how does that sound?

I couldn't agree with you more on that.

It WOULD be nice if we could ONLY follow the laws we WANT.
Myself, I've always had a big problem w/that Income Tax stuff, not to
mention Marijuana.
And hey! Why is murder illegal, I mean isn't there someone that everybody
wants to kill (Mr. Rogers),...or did I mean, doesn't everybody want to kill
someone?...*(it's hard being blonde sometimes)*

I Don't think I'm a better person, but I KNOW I'm a better driver than most.
I know I wasn't above the law, but you gotta understand, when you are the
law, it becomes kind of an abstract concept sometimes...
I mean have you ever seen a police car pull over another police car and
give another cop a ticket? (there's a reason for this, think hard)

I have NEVER, ever, ever, given a ticket to someone for 1 mph over the
speed limit. And I would *conditionally* agree that any cop that did was
being unfair. I was a cop for 6 years, and never heard of such a thing.
We gave everyone at least 10 mph. This is considered fair, when taking
into account differences in speedometers, hills, passing slower vehicles
etc.
(not to mention, heaven forbid, a screwed up radar-gun...*nah, couldn't happen*
