I called the parking police who says they can enforce the laws of all states. Guy faxed me a paper that says, "A vehicle owned by a non-resident and currently registered in another jurisdiction shall display the proper identification tag or tags issued for the vehicle in accordance with the requirements of the issuing jurisdiction." I think they got me. I seriously doubt that the enforcement s

I suppose my other question would be: Can DC parking enforcement give me a ticket for no front (VA) tag? I would understand if the vehicle were registered in DC but how would a dc parking enforcement person recognize that front tags are required in VA or any other state and attempt to enforce that jurisdiction's law? I'm going to dispute the ticket in writing and am looking for support on how

Has anyone ever gotten a ticket in VA for no front license plate? Is it required in VA? I got a ticket (vehicle was parked legally) in DC for no front license plate although my vehicle is registered in VA. Any thoughts on this?

I looked up some straight welfare statistics at http://www.acf.hhs.gov/news/stats/newstat2.shtml. What isn't included is the government funded (meaningless) jobs to simulate recipients' earning their way. Still welfare in my mind.

I'm well aware of this "reform" but also well aware that it is failing miserably for those already on welfare. Like I said, those already on welfare have found ways around the system and are still extending benefits beyond the 5 year limit. Notice that EVERY bill of this sort places the so called "end date" to well beyond the limits of the politician's tenure? I'd be willing to bet anything th

Problem with shutting off the faucet to those receiving the benefit of "affirmative action" is that you can NEVER do it! Same with the welfare system ... once someone is in the system, they do whatever it takes to keep getting benefits and dig forever to milk the system for more. You can NEVER stop it. In today's environment, people seek to find ways to fit into this or that category for the s

When affirmative action creates benefits for a particular group, or when holidays/benefits/memberships are granted to a particular group exclusively then anamosity is certain to strain relationships by those who aren't of that group. As a white guy, I'm privy to no special groups. There are those who will say that I am of the exclusive white race and benefits to me are unseen and unspoken but I

not sure why that fan person is so bitter. Freda died and that's the end of it. We need no fans here - especially those who have nothing to add to the conversation except bitterness.
