You are defending what any conservative worthy of the name would abhor.

I'n not defending it. I said your argument against it is not valid because one can make the exact same agrument from the other side. I can take that stance and still not support sliding scale fines -- or are you incapable of understanding that?

Thank you yet again for your kind words.

I believe that any reasonable person would interpret your post #22 as doing exactly that. If you wish to back away from that stance, I would encourage you to do so.
