| But just as many could give anecdotal evidence that it doesn't happen. That's why anecdotal evidence doesn't count for much. Besides. When you get pulled over, it's human nature to try and demonize the cop that did it. If you've never been pulled over, you probably can't understand what I mean. I could tell you all kinds of stories about the one time that I got pulled over for no apparent reason, and I do on multiple occasions. Maybe it was just 'cause I'm a woman. Maybe it's just 'cause the guy resents college students. Maybe it's 'cause my car looked like a Land Rover when in all actuality, it was just a very old Mitsubishi (the guy actually put "Land Rover" on the ticket too). Maybe it was the Christian fish on the back. The facts are that the guy was a jerk to me and that he pulled me over about 100 feet or so past the driveway that I had just left for speeding (a 20 yr old SUV with transmission problems accelerating like that: give me a break). It coulda been for any number of reasons and I've tried to figure it out myself. Heck. If I was a black person and I lived in a community with a distinct persecution complex, I'd probably say it was because of my skin. Most people would. That doesn't make the allegation legit.
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. -- Song 8:6 |
