The point is that increasing the tolls to ridiculous levels also increases the number of people cheating to evade the tolls. It’s like taxes: the higher they are, the more cheaters there are.

It is a sad commentary on today’s world. I really wish ethics were taught in school. So many people find ways to cheat and it is not right. If you can’t afford to go through a toll than go another way or don’t go. There are ways to by pass all tolls using the GPS. A bridge you might just have to suck it up and do the right thing and PAY FOR IT. I think that diet coke is ridiculous to pay for but you don’t see me going into the store and stealing it. NO! I either pay for it or I don’t buy it. What is wrong with people????

You're right, and Rosa Parks should have stayed in the back of the bus, because that was the law. She must not have had any ethics. I will treat the government ethically, when the government starts treating the people ethically.

And those damned original Tea Partiers should have just paid that duty on that tea! What the hell was Sam Adams and the rest of those revolutionaries thinking? Didn’t he know that patriots and conservatives are supposed to bend over and pay unreasonable fees to unreasonable tyrants?

THAT is a bigger question than can be answered within the context of this forum. Maybe it can't be answered at all.

Just last night, I heard of a senior citizen couple (70 and 80 years old) being sent to prison, because $220,000 had erroneously been deposited into their bank account, and they turned around and sent monetary gifts to everyone they knew. When $67,000 appeared in my account, I called the bank...
