 Comparing a monetary fine to life in prison?  Shouldn't this be posted 
 in blowing.things.out.of.proportion?  Or mountain.out.of.a.molehill?

 You don't understand them.  You don't understand them at all.  If you 
 did, you would accept responsibility for your own actions and not 
 blames others for your own screw-ups. 
  
 'Screw-ups?'  That's foul and immature vocabulary.  Completely 
 innapropriate for this newsgroup.  Still, I won't accept 
 responsibility for it.  Blame the media!  I'm a victim of MTV for its 
 negative influence on today's society.
