Subject: SHIT!


Excuse my subject, but...

Those guys at the Greek Justice department with first the minister, the
graphic Mr. Giannopoulos have once again displayed their high IQ (measuring
at numbers similar to the once showing room temperature in Celsius degrees)!!!

In a spectacular display of their FASHISTIC attitude they have taken a new
measure against drinking and driving.

From now on, anyone caught driving with levels of alcohol above the limits
will have their vehicle impounded!!!!!

An Italian biker in Corfu already had a taste of this, since last night his
bike was impounded by the police!

This measure is a perfect display of incompetence by the Greek authorities,
since it is this harsh only because they can't really control drivers (and
riders) in regular bases, so as to make them stop drinking and driving, and
even if they could they know that they have not the means to collect the
fines in a truly efficient way!!!!!

So, instead of dealing with their own incompetence they have decided to make
an example for all the rest by the once they catch!
Even this though doesn't really work, since in some cases the car doesn't
belong to the driver and in other cases the car has not been impounded by
the court.

This measure is extremely harsh AND UNFAIR, since on the one hand one guy
may loose his cheap old car wile another for exactly the same offense may
suffer 10 times more damage, and on the other hand if you drive a friends
car he has to pay for your offense!

Don't take me wrong, I am all for catching the people that brake the law,
but I can not tolerate the states unfairness and incompetence being
disguised in harsh an unfair laws!

Ever heard of "the punishment must fit the crime"???
