...there remains a certain irony about this.


Someone *Should* ride by this fellow's place and see if *he* has a 
personalized plate on any of his vehicles.     No interaction, no 
knocks on any doors, just ride by and look.    Perhaps this guy is 
displaying something that is offensive...

While they're at it, maybe they should see if this fellow is 
violating any city ordinances as well...  it *is* our civic duty to 
contribute to the system, isn't it...?


Turnabout is fair play, after all.


A few years ago here in VA, there was an SUV owned by two women with 
the personalized plate 2 DYKES.   They'd had the plate for some time, 
until somebody somewhere complained and the DMV sent them a letter 
demanding the return of the plates.

Their argument was that if the plates were OK before, they should 
still be OK after the fact and that since nobody ELSE out of the 
hundred thousand or so people who saw the plates had complained, just 
the *one* ass-hole, they felt their personalized plates should be 
left alone, seeing as how they had PAID for them and the DMV had 
initially issued them with no questions asked.

Then someone among the VA DMV rewrote the policy on personalized 
plates which made their 2 DYKES plates "unauthorized"...  in spite of 
the grandfather clause which was argued.    In the end, the women 
lost their case because it wasn't worth the expense of fighting it in 
court.


If this sort of thing ever happens to me, the "offended" individual 
better be living the life of Mother Theresa because I'm gonna be 
looking into their own sphere of existence and if they as much as let 
their lawn go too long between mowings I'm gonna be on the phone (a 
pay phone) to downtown.

That "awakening the sleeping dragon" thing works both ways.



Here's to success in defending the plates.
