I am for Freedom of religion and respecting other beliefs. But when the people not associated and involved with that belief break a rule,such as burning a religious book(Koran) out of not knowing. and members of that religion act in the deadly manner that the people of Afghanistan are! Then perhaps we should immediately remove our troops and allow the chips to fall where they will. I think it would be great if every American in this country bought a Koran and did with it what pleased hm or her!!!!

Piles of Bodies
You people are so in love with the Law enforcement and the government that when Obama or Rick Perry orders the police,Texas Rangers,Texas,U.S Army U.S.M.C to go door to door rounding up your friends neighbors and coworkers and taking them away for re education or out and killing then. YOU will be the cheer leading squad too stupid to understand that your ox is next to next gored. Other countries have watched this and burred the dead. You Texans especially Abileners are so very convinced that it can't happen here that they allow Massey to flag and remove warnings. Remember these warnings are here to keep your bodies from becoming buzzard food! All Law enforcement,Lawyers,Judges and politicians are not to be trusted these will give the orders that pile bodies. History proves this in Germany,Russia, most of the African nations and Today in Syria. So why do people think that the people in authority here are different?

Just the facts ma'am
tate Point System
That's over 41,000,0000 speeding tickets per year.
One in every 6 drivers will get a speeding ticket this year.
The average speeding ticket costs $150.00.
41,000,000 x 150.00 = $6,150,000,000 That's over 6 BILLION dollars per year in speeding ticket fines alone.
The average raise in insurance costs for one speeding ticket over the course of 3 years is $900.00.
Multiply 900 by 41,000,000 and you get $36,900,000,000 (36.9 BILLION dollars) in extra insurance money the insurance industry makes in a single year just from speeding tickets.
Over 95% of people who receive a speeding ticket never contest it and just pay the fine.
The other 5% who make an effort to fight their ticket usually have their case dismissed or receive reduced charges that don't get reported on their driving record.
There are 196,000,000 licensed drivers in America today.
A police officer will fail to show up to court between 30 to 50% of the time. This is immediate grounds for a dismissal.
Paradise Valley, Arizona, in 1987 became the first town in America to use photo radar.
Brooklyn, Ohio became the first city to mandate seat belts while driving back in 1966.
The age groups between 17 and 24 years of age receive the most speeding tickets.
More men than women receive speeding tickets.
In July 1879, two men are fined for speeding horses in Seattle.
Henry Ford's first motor vehicle, built in 1894, only went forward.
Traffic lights were used before the advent of the motorcar. In 1868, a lantern with red and green signals was used at a London intersection to control the flow of horse buggies and pedestrians.
Since 1999, Washington, D.C. cameras have issued 2,421,841 tickets worth $182 million.
The earliest known speeding ticket on file was issued in 1910 to the Prime Minister of Canada's wife. She was traveling at a whopping 10 mph over the limit.
Doctors receive the most speeding tickets than any other profession.
The average traffic cop will cost a city about $75,000 per year in salary, bonuses, and benefits. This same police officer will make the city an average of $200,000 per year in traffic ticket fines! That's one hell of a profit margin.

Rick Perry
This is what it is all about and if you want your neighbors to become like the Jews in Nazi Germany then we need to keep 4 Texas state troopers working a 10 mile stretch and you keep cheering. Then when your taxes go up for to support the prisons for all the criminals whose license have been revoked and are unable to pay fines. That said fins are not being used for their earmarked purpose.(probably making Perry richer) so you are not smart on two counts 1.that these fins will improve emergency rooms and the roads 2. that it will keep the so called criminals off the roads.
AUSTIN - Texas motorists charged with certain driving violations owe the state more than $1 billion in surcharges, and many of the 1.2 million people on the unpaid list are driving without valid licenses and at risk of arrest.
The Texas Driver Responsibility Program was designed to assess large additional fines - into the thousands of dollars apiece - to discourage certain offenses, such as drunken driving, and generate money for trauma care and highway construction.
And while the Legislature may give some relief to lower-income drivers in two years, a leading critic said the program remains a modern-day "debtors prison" for a large number of Texans. An estimated one in nine arrest warrants in Austin, El Paso and other cities are being issued because of the surcharge program.
"It's a complete failure," said state Sen. Eliot Shapleigh, D-El Paso, who sponsored unsuccessful legislation to kill the program last year. Shapleigh was able to insert language into a related bill that would waive surcharges for indigent Texans, but it won't be effective until the fall of 2011, and then only if it has no significant impact on the state budget.
"What's happening is that people can't pay their fines, and then they lose their driver's license. That means they can't get to work," he said. "It has a snowball effect that's hurting a large number of citizens."
Gov. Rick Perry, who signed the surcharge legislation into law, remains a backer of the program despite its troubles. In signing the measure in 2003, he cited projections indicating it would raise $1 billion for trauma care centers by 2008.
"The governor continues to support this program, but he expects the Public Safety Commission to continue looking for ways to improve it," said Katherine Cesinger, a spokeswoman for Perry.
But the program never worked as planned. More than 60 percent of the surcharges - $1.05 billion - has not been paid. Of the 1.9 million Texas drivers who have been told to pay, about 1.2 million have not, nearly two-thirds of those in the Driver Responsibility Program. If drivers don't pay, their licenses are automatically suspended 30 days after their initial conviction.
Where fines have gone
The state has collected more than $672 million, but none of it has gone to highways. And just a fraction has gone to trauma centers, said Shapleigh, who noted that the original push for the program came during the state's budget crunch in 2003, when lawmakers were scrambling for new revenue sources. The money is sitting in the state Treasury.

Texas laws
There was a website that listed the 10 worst speed traps in the United States Texas had 2 cities Houston and Austin listed. There is a 4 or 5 Texas state Trooper speed trap just west of Abilene on Highway 277 and I obeyed the Draconian horse and buggy speed of 50 miles per hour coming through those hills with a half a mile of cars behind me. One poor trucker got caught in spite of me holding up traffic. There were 4 Texas state troopers on this 10 mile stretch of road from Coronado's camp to Abilene. I have a friend that drives for Texas Department of Transportation and he was stopped this day but only received a warning ticket. I am a native Texan but we have the most stupid laws,bullying people and a Moron in charge called Rick Perry. We have a surcharge system, and now a points system that we did not before it takes 5 years for one ticket to clear off of your record where it only took 3 before. With these things being allowed by the people and the people are the bosses our precious rights will be dictated to us by the police,volunteer fire chiefs and state troopers plus the federal government.
