I'm still wondering just how much money has been paid in Bridge tolls here in Northern California beyond what they were originally intended to cover -- at inception it was purely to pay the city back for the bridge and ferry service. With more cars going over the bridges than ever, and rising prices ($5/car!), I would love to see some hard and fast numbers as to how much bridge upkeep costs vurses how much the city earns per year by taxing commuters.
How many people routinely read their statement for these fees and taxes and actually follow up on from where they come, why they are assessed, and to where they are going? For most people (granted, myself included), it's just "smile and nod" day when the bills come 'round.
Thomas Jefferson and George Washington distributed fliers penned under assumed names as well. Perhaps that is the greatest show of tyranny that individuals cannot speak as themselves.
Unless #1 allowed you into areas wherein which there was expensive equipment, IP data, or any number of other things.
Any company that relies solely on 1 piece of security is sorely lacking in that respect.
I oten find myself wondering if all the HS BS is just a repetition of a cycle started long before any of us were in those institutions... then I see posts like this and the plethora of others in recent memory which makes me think it's less and less the students' fault.

But it's still fun to quote the PS3's ~$800 EU pricetag! (http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/05/19 /1536224)

And yet this happens more and more frequently these days; it will be a dark day if the School wins on this one.
