Advertisements [?]
Today I drove my wife to a drug store for a few items. I don't have a license anymore (will soon) because I rolled through a stop sign and had an expired out of state license. As noted in an earlier post I feel I was at fault and will pay for it.

As we pulled out of the store I needed to be in the left lane pretty quick, so I got over asap (pulled out of the parking lot, looked in my mirror, and got over). I did not put on my blinker. No need to really, as there was no one in sight and I had to get over quick.

According to the handbook, I broke the law. Had there been a cop around, I would have gotten (another) ticket and had to pay.

And here I sit, each day worrying over the little things I might do in traffic and having to pay for it - while bush and crew skate free as they kill people, lie to us, break laws left and right.

bush pardons his buddies, and the dems in congress won't even try to charge him with anything when they have plenty to nail him on.

We have cops out there everyday nailing people for simple things, driving around with a rule book in hand and charging you for every little thing you do wrong. And we cannot even get bush on one thing after all he has done???

I get the willies when I see a cop, even if I have done nothing wrong (and I say this as an ex-cop, nothing against police here). If I do anything wrong in their site I can get a ticket at the least.

And yet bush and crew can flaunt the law all day long.

You want me to obey the law? Then enforce it equally. Is that too much to ask?
