Comments: To: "(words-l)" <WORDS-L@uga.cc.uga.edu>

I think I've been in a car on the highway here maybe a handful of
times (I'm terrified of what will happen to me when I visit CA next,
I haven't driven since Jan '91), so I can't comment on whether they
blink for cops or not (Pat reminds me that they do blink to pass).

The police cars here are white VW Golfs (Rabbits in the States) with
saftey orange markings except for POLITIE, which is written in blue.
They're quite easy to spot.  They've also got a sprinkling of
Porsches as well.

They do set up speed traps, and Pat occasionally gets an office wide
email from the secretary letting him know (but it doesn't matter to
him as he takes the train to work).  Also every 2 km or so on the
major highways (for example between Amsterdam and Utrecht) they have
sensors in the road that can trigger a road conditions sign, so if
there's a reason to slow down they can let you know far in advance.
They can warn about traffic or weather (for instance fog) ahead
automatically.

On each of these signs, which span the width of the road, there is
also the possibility to mount a camera which can take a picture of
you and your plates as you speed by.  A workmate of Pat's got a
ticket this way for going 120 km/h in a 100 zone (that's the normal
highway speed) for f. 140 which is about $84.  Ouch!

Parenthetically,
(*hugs*)

: I'm not into <formal> logic, but it seems to me you claimed only that

Post in haste on Saturday morning, repent at leisure on Sunday evening, Bayla
:-)  Specifically, my Saturday post failed to compress two sources of a broader
tax base into one story.  There are two sources. 1.  At lower tax rates, the
payoff from sheltering income in money-losing, complicated shelters is smaller.
The law of demand (people buy more of a thing when its price is lower)
underpins my prediction that people will therefore use fewer shelters because
(a) the cost of lawyers and accountants goes up relative to the tax benefits (a
higher price of sheltering) and (b) the tax bill goes down relative to income
(a lower price of compliance).  2.  At lower tax rates, an honest person's afte
r-tax income increases.  A dishonest person has to work out the expected payoff
from cheating (don't get caught and keep something extra; get caught and pay
your taxes plus a penalty).  Economists like to look at what goes on at the
margin.  In my example the margin is that person who is indifferent between
cheating and complying at the old rates (a coin flip is the best predictor of
her behavior.)  When the rates go down, the honest person gets to keep the
whole tax cut; the dishonest person can expect to keep some fraction of it,
because there's still a positive probability of getting caught.  Therefore, the
person at the margin is strictly better off complying, unless she's got a high
preference for taking risks.  (Case 2 makes a good story problem)

So the fungibility problem originated in DeKalb :-)  But I had to hustle out
and go shopping and head to the golf match ...

I also like wordslinger, but in all due respect, I believe I've seen
it before, applied to someone who sells hack writing to make ends meet
much as if he were selling (slinging) beer; plus it has all the oomph
of "gunslinger" behind it, suggesting someone who uses words
(casually) as if slinging beer and/or shooting bullets. Neat.

Lysteria suggests either some sort of horticultural product, some sort of
garden flower (in fact I believe there is such a flower), or some sort
of anatomical term, possibly in and around the throat area.

The rules are made for the benefit of the people who make them: it's
kind of like gambling against the house, because the house tilts the
odds in its favor.  I suppose the cops regard people who use
Fuzz-Busters or who flash their lights at oncoming motorists as the
equivalent of card-counters in gambling casinos.

I wonder why so many police departments (esp. around here) insist that
there is no ticket quota.  Is this simply a case of The Big Lie, or
are ticket quotas another bit of Urban Legend?

I generally wait until I'm about a mile beyond where I see a hidden
police car to flash my lights.  As I understand it, most radar picks
you up once you're within a mile, and if you slow down at that point,
it's too late, anyway.

lots of people, men especially, who never have grown up.  Grown out, maybe,
but not up.  At my church, a woman can write the worship service, but can't

I think we should write a joint Words-L letter to Tina informing her of
our displeasure. Notice the cover illustration? It couldn't be all that
accidental: a punk slouching in a horse-pulled cab. That punk is Tina!

If we wrote the letter and signed all our names and e-addresses to it, it
would also mark another incursion of Words-L kultur into Real Life, which
is a Good Thing. Who among us is sufficiently literate to draft out a

I've heard it was an Israeli freight plane that developed trouble soon after
takeoff, but didn't quite make it back to the landing strip, to put it
