Here is my dilemma!

Many of you know that last month I went to San Francisco to take part in my daughters wedding! What most do not know is that while there I had the opportunity to encounter the California Highway Patrol! I was not surprised to learn that in a state dominated by a political party that puts Liberty and Freedom way behind State Control of everybody and everything, they take driving without a seatbelt, as a much more serious crime than say, being in the country without proper documentation! I was not even surprised to find that, in a state that tends to think that all of your money and property belongs to them, the CHIP's officer could not tell me what the fine was for such a violation! She was reasonably polite though! And somewhat cute! Her rather slight frame did make me wonder about her ability to subdue a grown man intent on getting away! I am sure, in California, they will not let you shoot a suspect! Unless he says something ugly about Nancy Pelosi! But I ramble! Back to the dilemma!

Today I received a letter from the Hayward Hall of Justice! They informed me that I could settle this matter for the mere sum of $160.00! Remember there was no accident. There was on damage or injuries! And no animals were harmed in the enactment of this crime!

The Hayward Hall Of Justice then attempted to blackmail me! They said that if I would return to California and pay $214.00 in bail(?) and attend traffic school they would keep this whole thing confidential! The traffic school is a private company and charges a fee as well! So what they offer is, If I pay $374.00, and the fee to attend traffic school, they will withhold the information that I have commited this horrific crime from my insurance company! Thereby, they are attempting to extort money from me, in exchange for cheating my insurance company out of the premiums that may be due to them, should they discover my criminal act! Welcome to California!

Now, I am going to pay my fine! But, I am not going to take part in their extortion racket! The big question that remains is, how I will pay this fine! It seems that they will take my personal check! Or they will accept my payment by credit card! Now I am dealing with a state that were it an independent country would have the 9th largest economy in the world! Some say the 7th largest! Now this state has taken all that it can from it's own citizens, and squandered it on programs that are of no benefit to the citizens of the state! They have bankrupted themselves! They have attempted extortion on me! Now they want my credit card number, or my checking account number?

I think I will send a money order!   Either way I am not going to smoke over it!

My name is Tommy Piver and I don't think you should smoke over it either!
