This owes further exploring... $20 back in the 1850's adjusted for inflation would be the equivalent of more than $2,000 today. Also keep in mind that the Constable who gave Grant the ticket did so without a radar detector or precise measurement of speed. And you say your government policies on speeding are bad ??? Then you have zero historical comparison. -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
