Okay, Jon, now it's my turn to be insulted! I have never beaten my wife!
And then in a more serious tone, he said...Seriously, I would guess that
by and large that applies to the majority of us, which proves that there
are exceptions to every stereotype. My comment was not intended as a
personal attack just an illustration that maybe from the inside looking
out your view may not be as clear as you may think. There are a great
number of inequities perpetrated by our police and I happen to think that
it is easier for traffic cops to skew the rules in many situations. This
is not an opinion based on inexperience. That is why, when I see a
badge, I immediately place the wearer in a certain category, until I know
the person better and he/she does something to change my predisposed
assessment. Your comment just happenned to reinforce my predisposition.
Unfortunately, I won't be making it to Topeka this year, but I look
forward to meeting you sometime, preferrably when you are out of uniform?
I disagree with your advice about team.net. I think this forum allows us
to know each other more deeply than just spending a few hours together on
Sunday once in a while. I feel that the majority of team.netters are
more open in this forum than they are in person. Besides we make friends
we wouldn't have made otherwise.
