This actually doesn't bother me. They should have thrown in some community service stuff like picking up trash from the highway too. I hope he learns his lesson.

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him."

I would agree with your point if he was sentenced to way more time in jail than the average Joe was but if a fine is to be a deterant then $200 would do little to stop a repeating millionaire speeder.

We're moving towards a hatred of the rich where items in a store won't be a fixed price but a percentage of your income. A Toyota Camry will no longer be $25K, it will be, say, 0.5% of your annual income.

Oh ya poor rich people, **** the rich they can kiss my ass. Guess what? Lifes not fair sucks to be you I guess!

They should of fined him 1 mill and taught him a lesson. You want to show off your money? good will fine your ass!


The rich have lived under DIFFRENT RULES for over 3 thousand years, why is it ok for them to live under different rules and not the masses?

I'm not rich, neither is RW. Although I guess "rich" is relative. You are one angry dude. Good luck getting a job without the rich, though.
