As we ponder some of the events of the past little while, our mind turns toward the recent "conviction" of two young bucks to house arrest for speeding on Mount Pleasant at up to 140KPH, activity that ultimately resulted in the death of a father of and provider for a family.  House arrest that allows them to work and go to university, and a curfew that can be overridden by their parents.

How did Paris Hilton miss out on this one?

One would think, as The One does, that one would label the events of the night racing. However, some saw it as simply "driving too fast "

Let's see, two people, neighbours and friends, driving well over the speed limit up Mount Pleasant, in close proximity to each other......"a copy of the video game Need For Speed in one of the cars" according to CTV. Who won? Certainly not the father, a Pakistani taxi driver supporting his wife and family in hopes of bringing them here from Pakistan. We particularly like a defense lawyer's comment that "neither man was on drugs or alcohol when driving." Phew, we guess that makes it OK, then.

One could say they'll carry this burden for the rest of their lives - but this One thinks the burden the driver's family will carry won't be accompanied by a university education, cushy curfew, and "house arrest with school and jobs."

However, let's look on the sunny side! The event and its result opens the door to whole new realms of creativity in evading the consequences of one's actions. Let's look at how we could do this...

We like it! We can do anything we want and dodge the bullet! Just like politicans!
