Interesting, Floyd.

You know, there's a state Senator in Arizona, I believe, who has tried to
pass a bill in that state banning Spinners and imposing a $10 fine for
those who have them.

Seems he was approaching an intersection where he had the ROW, and a
person pulled up to the stop sign with spinners. The good Senator saw the
spinners still spinning, slammed on his brakes and almost caused a pile-up!

Exaclty right! During the first Gulf War, the troops were taught that, for
example, if a Saudi or a Kuwaiti asked you for a tool, you always hand it
to them with your RIGHT hand, since passing something to someone with the
laft is an even bigger insult that flipping them off!

While I *was* speaking tongue in cheek, there is a certain truth that hubcap
stealing would drop way off if it was a death penalty offense. Of course, if
they do it like the death penalty in California, it would never work. We
have almost 650 on death row, and have only executed 11 since 1978, unless I
am wrong then it was 1976 -- either way, it takes way too long to execute
these guys. If we started tomorrow with the rate they have in Texas, it
would take 15 years to clear death row if there were no new convictions.

Screw the death penalty, my beloved 'Hachiroku' got boosted once and
broken into twice. I don't care if they are just trying to take a LUGNUT,
if I have a weapon, they're hurting...
