That may be....but try to tell the judge that even though it wasn't LEGAL
that it was RIGHT for you to be driving 100 mph on an empty freeway on a
dry, sunny day with unlimited visibility and that the darn cop should have
let you alone.  When you win that one, let me know.

Would have gladly read it if the URL worked.  I got "Cannot find server or
DNS Error" from IE5.

However, I'll bet it was another rant about the extension of copyright
recently.  If so, I'll agree with the rant....but once again, suggest that
people change laws rather than disobey them.....though that is YOUR
personal decision, your court appearance, your fine, your jail time, not mine.
