Larrys Thoughts ::: August 16, 2006

I was just sittin here wondering... Why when someone gets pulled over by a law enforcement officer (cops) because they were speeding, or throwing trash out the window, or in some fashion "Breaking the Law" they get all upset and do stupid things & say stupid things. Can't ya just here it as someone is getting stopped. "Why is that idiot stopping me?" or... "Can't those *&&*%!!'s find something better to do that harass me?" "I'm not going that fast, or big deal my turn signal isn't working!"... Then there's the one that goes... "I'll get it inspected next week for God's sake!!" Lot's more I'm sure, but I think you get the message. Guess what??? Don't we pay taxes so the cops have a job to keep us all safe?? How many of us are the first to say "Yep, he's headed to the doughnut shop for a sweet & coffee, just speeding so he gets the best doughnuts before they run out." Or when a police car is sitting at a turn around on the highway, it's "Well at least he's getting a good nap in at my expense!!" So my thought is what way do we want it??? Pull us over and do the job our tax money is payin them to do, and realize we are payin them to do that job, or do we want to make jokes, laugh a lot and make faces and say a doughnut & a nap? Me personally, I say give em a doughnut & a nap, cause I'm in a hurry & after all. I won't break any laws I feel are good ones. Ya ever wonder??
