I've said that before though, and nobody but you is listening, so there is no point in saying it again. [img]tongue.gif[/img] [/QB]
Uh, it is nearly twice my yearly salary. To me, that's alot. I don't get free food, free tv and free medical care. I don't get to pursue a legal career or other education at no expense in a well stocked library instead of working 5 days a week. They don't have 'freedom' to come and go when they want anymore but the perks are sure nice for people who've broken laws and are a danger to individuals and society in many cases.

Just my personal mini-rant here! [img]smile.gif[/img]
