Land of the free, and home of the brave... Went out with Roy Rogers. Now it's OK to lie, cheat, and steal; we only have to look as far as the evening news.

That is the way it is here. I have forgotten in the past, it can happen to anyone and I paid up as soon as I got the notice. I think there was a late fee, but no big deal.
