<<How you would ever get prosecuted for being without it is a mystery I have yet to solve.>> Well, J Fred, this goes back to my getting elected President platform. Every squad car carries a rope and a 5 gallon bucket. Does uurrkkeedd sound like a solution? My main platform is that the prisons are over crowded and we have a national debt. Answer? Have a panel of right thinking guys like you look at all the prison records and pick out the 200,000 worst. Auction off the hanging rights with a handicap to poorer areas so they can have a few. The winners get a looser, a rope and a 5 gallon bucket. At a designated time all buckets will be kicked. Now that will be a deterrent to crime.

Jfred, Ah, how do they prosecute scofflaw Californians who drive without insurance? Californians must now carry proof of insurance when driving. If such proof is not available, a "fix-it" ticket is issued and one must go to court with proof of insurance. If it is discovered that the motorist was indeed uninsured at the time the ticket was issued, the fine is $1300. Until that fine is payed, the hapless and insuranceless motorist can renew neither driver's license nor vehicle registration. If one cancels one's auto insurance, notice of such cancellation is promptly dispatched to the DMV. And that is how it is now enforced in California. When I moved from Southern to Northern California, my auto insurance premium was reduced by more than a third. Then came Proposition 103, and my insurance went right back up to what it had been in Southern California. And you guys steal our water too! Holly
