Just because you smoke cigars and put the words "whom our great nation" in a sentence does not make you intelligent. I guessing student nurse -- you failed med school perhaps? or did not even get accepted? Sounds like your just bitter about losing ?75 out of your tightwad pocket..want my advice stop smoking cigars you pompous git! Its people like you that give student nurses a bad name. I applaud thoses officers who gave you a fine and i think you deserve it! I have wardens in my area and have spoken to them on a number of occasions and they don't strike me as particularly unintelligent. What makes you so great? Get real and stop speaking like a war veteran...What a looser.. stop litetring our streets you YOB.
