If the cop arrested me. I thought this cop was in a hurry, or something.
And then I'd pay the silly little fine. It's as if you think disobeying 
a cops order would land me in jail...I doubt it. But if I did..well, I'd 
at least still be true to my convictions (no pun intended).
You see, SOME people hold strong beliefs. Beliefs like freedom, justice,
and anti-totalitarianism. You know, GOOD beliefs. I'll stand by my good 
beliefs and others can stand by authoritarianism, totalitarianism, and 
such. I won't get bullied into submission by those that hold freedom 
(and honor) to a lesser level than I.
If I were in Nazi Germany I would disobey too. And I would pay the 
price, if fighting the wrong didn't work. Patriots are silly like that. 
Regards, Steve
