I just got back from a trip to Nova Scotia in my art car Seaflower. On the return trip my purebred Minitaure Daschund Winston, whom my wife and I got from a shelter, was propositioned for sex.
A gentleman pulled up beside while I was walking Winston during a driving break and asked if he was purebred and if he was fixed. He then asked if I lived handy as his female was in heat. I had to get back on the road so I jsut couldn't do it. As I was walking Winston down the road I kept apologizing to him saying I could have got him laid when an elderly woman comes around the corner walking her terrier and giving me the dirtiest look.
Crossing the US border in Calais, Me was breeze. Under a minute. You'd think it would be harder in a car with marbles and dice all over it but its been easier. As I pulled away from the guard shack I looked into the customs building and 3 officers were looking at the car when the largest and most tattoed one says, "awesome ride man."
No speeding tickets this time coming home. $185 speeding ticket on the way up for being colorful. The cop was curious and from appearance alone was apparently inbred.
We, in the US, live in a police state that isn't about protection but profit. If it was about protecting and serving I'd be all for it but it isn't. Insurance agencies help fund police so they can get the latest greatest speed detection hardware which helps states make more $ and insurance agencies reap the benefits when they increase your premium.
In Canada I drive 90mph, am always in control, and have never got a ticket. Once you cross the border into the US it seems like you could drive down the highway with guns blazing but as long as your not doing more than the legal limit the cop, whose hidden down an embankment behind an underpass, isn't going to catch it with his laser.
I recently found out that most Laser manafacturers in the US actually give away their product to the police and only bill them after the police have written enough tickets to pay for them.
In the US we pay $35 billion a year to keep our prison system going while it has turned into another cash cow driven by profit with 1 in 150 US residents now in prison.
