   Just today I watched as a very poor guy came in to pay for two traffic violations.

Both were violations that only recently became law. He explained to the clerk that he had to make a decision whether to pay his insurance or to pay his rent. Next he said that he was still in the Wal-Mart parking lot and had his hand on the seat belt to hook it up as he was moving when the cop gave him a ticket. The clerk listening impatiently and said that will be $95 for the one and $25 for the other.

   As he left, I heard him say to the person that was with him; " well it will be tators and beans till next payday."

   The long arm of the law now has an iron fist.
