OK Newbie (10-4-04) do you really want define the meaning of "is" again? Did you watch too much Clinton? She was eating on the Metro escalator on her way to the train platform--there is no eating on the escalator. I am sure that the Metro police see this all day long and ask the violators to please throw out the food; however, she was defiant when asked and rebuked the police officer. She broke the Metro rules and mocked the officer. The court will hear her stupid case and waste taxpayer dollars for her to defend eating a Payday on the escalator. Why didn't she just throw it out when asked? Case closed. Community service picking up litter.
Put me on your ping list when the judge rules on whether a candy bar can be banned from the Metro station if it is already started down the digestion track.
