Don't be so sensitive, barbara.

Reread the post that has you all bunched up. I'll rephrase it for you if it helps you relax: You're right, if you are living paycheck to paycheck and cannot afford the penalty, as the law stands now, it is best not to do the crime have the vice at all.

Q: What do the war on drugs and the public schools have in common?

A: The more money and power thrown at them, the further they get from their stated purpose. The war on drugs was has been given a lot of our money and power over us to curb/end drug use...drug use is much higher than before the WOD. The public schools were given a lot of our money and power over us in the name of educating the children...we have the most ignorant kids on the planet now.

I see a pattern.

So. It's ok if you're well-heeled enough to pay the fine?
