Tom- We here in the US do give bribes sometimes but it just isn't as open as in other countries. I don't think that you should have to bribe someone to get a fair result especially when you aren't cheating on anything but it can be beneficial if you have screwed up and need some "assistance".

Teya,

Oh how I miss the liberal thoughts of my youth. What you say is True enough. We have bribes, theft, rigged elections and most other crimes that are committed elsewhere are also committed here in the US. But to think it is even close to the same level would be a gross over statement. Its like stating bad things happen to good people or that there are good people who are serving life sentences in prison... Its true enough but I would not then give any prisoner the benefit of the doubt.

You're so right, we shouldn't have to bribe someone or do anything extra for that matter to receive fair and equitable treatment. Fair and equatable are however subjective terms and depending on where you are positioned will determine your evaluation.

I am fairly confident that when it occurs here it is the exception to the rule and in some other lands it is the rule... If it wasn't I would be ahead of all of you haha... B-):lol:

Tom- I wasn't trying to say that we have the same scale as various other countries at all. I have been subject to both systems and prefer ours. At least when they tell you here that you have to pay $20, $20 is all you need instead of $20 plus "whatever I feel the other fee will be today to maybe do what I am telling you I will do."

I agree with your last statement Tom, if that were the case in our society you would be ahead of me for sure. The majority (if not every single one of you) would've been ahead of me :P. Luckily, I have some luck on my side up here.

I know you were not saying that Teya. I also would not call it Luck my dear. Your level headed so I don't think you're wishing your way through this. I'm pretty sure you will get through this without having to pack...

Have a great weekend everyone. I have to load up my truck so I can hit the road early... We are doing the Piney River tomorrow... YAHOO experienced paddlers only...
