 CVS Stores may have been technically within their legal rights 
 to tow my car and extort $160 from me, but what they perpetrated 
 was a draconian penalty way out of proportion to my trivial 
 offense, which unlike what they did harmed no one. 
  
 Staying within my legal rights of free speech and freedom of the 
 press, I can easily cost CVS far, far more than the sum they 
 extorted from me. Should fair compensation not be forthcoming, I 
 most certainly will do so. You may disagree, but as their 
 authoritarian sympathizers might say, "that's the way it is!"
