The Vail Spot: Fireman's Revenge

Nemo me impune lacessit

No one provokes me with impunity

If this is the law of the land...why in a republic (little r) and as republicans, do we allow mere POLITICIANS to the right to use a "title of office" for the rest of their lives as if it were de facto a patent of nobility. Because, as republicans, this should NOT be the case...just saying...

Fireman's Revenge

I have to admit, I get really annoyed by those who park their cars...in places they don't belong. But you don't get to see them actually pay for it. Here in Maryland, often times I see cars parked in fire lanes...cars that don't pull over for fire trucks...or even ambulances. So to see someone punished, in a most direct way, with their license plate not obscured is great.
