Calculating speed from "stored data" may be trivial to some, but if you're charged with a felony, that calculation would be fateful, don't you think? And we are ruled by dangerously silly people.

This has happened with one dog and three cats, none hit by me. However, when an adult, (presumedly), rational human walks past signs warning of dangerous winds and launches him or herself off of a cliff wearing an expensive set of manmade wings, there is 0% compassion for them from me. The best that they can hope for is a hamburger lowered down from a fishing pole, and that would probably just be to taunt them with the aroma before I quickly reeled it back up. ;-) Pat |
