No, I'll tell you who my customers are. I'm still at school and
manage the coffeehouse at school. People don't mind when I play
music loud enough to require shouting. But I'm smart enough to realize
that I couldn't do that at a place where I served the general
public. I know that my customers are not a cross-section of hungry
Pasadenas, they're a cross-section of hungry Caltech students.
Likewise, YOU should realize that you are not dealing with a cross-
section of all Californians; you're dealing with a cross-section
of Californians who've received traffic citations. They may seem
like regular people, and many of them are. But they do NOT represent
all Californians. Face it, some people are a lot more likely to
get tickets, and these people are a lot more likely to show up
in one of your classes.
