urlbuster, don't let this surprise you-while there is nothing inherantly "patriotic" about giving out parking tickets, this comment by spiff goes a LONG way to showing his real feelings about ANY civil authority "trampling" on his liberties(i suspect that spiff feels it's his within his constitutional rights to park ANYWHERE he wants and even that not being able to use the best places because they are designated handicapped only is some kind of abridgement of his rights-i know, i know...he'll call me a liar because i'm just "reading between the lines" here and he didn't ACTUALLY say this, but the tenor of his post is as such...lol)... all in all, i'm not surprised by his reaction...lol
