Why only give him a ticket?” “I hope everyone sees it,” said Herda. “This is a farce. That’s what it is.”

Perhaps the city needs more ‘revenue’?

Bicyclists love to ride two or more abreast on narrow mountain roads as it is their rightofway. Some people have special rights.

Hey, isn’t it a wild coincidence that you just now showed up and excerpt stuff from a single source?

That might almost lead folks to the conclusion that you were just using Free Republic as a hit farm.

Good thing we know better than that, huh?

Just curious——is “The Libertarian Republic” the only thing you read?

It’s same as with the building Inspector that brushes up on his code book and finds a clause to shut down a construction job, rather than say fix it and I’ll be back!

That’s why the BTK serial killer took a long break from his career Binding, Torturing and Killing women. He got enough pleasure tormenting people as a building code enforcer, he didn’t feel the need!

They should do this at our local malls where clans and full families walk en masse and slowly, such that it takes forever to pass them.

Aaaarrgghhhhh!
