Should I pay or should I no


Two weeks ago , a police man arrived at my door and presented me with eight parking fines, which I must have received whilst showing two slightly older friends, the pleasant sights of Rome, and last week a woman turned up dressed in a wierd kind of uniform, claiming to be a some kind of official from Rai television. Hearing my protestsand lies of having no television, she then threatened to send me a real policeman to check if I had a television because I haven't paid my t.v. lincence .
I am one of those perfectly respectable people that do not pay their t.v lincenses and now I have to join the ranks of all those little old ladies who are bullied into doing so just for a little peace.!!! Why are they not chasing mafia bosses and solving unsolved murders and etc. etc.................
The reason I don't want to pay for my lincence is :
1. I never, ever ,never ,ever watch Rai television!
2. It is not considered cool , and will ruin my reputation as a liberal, free thinker, femminist if I confess to paying for it! (ha ha)
3. I already pay for Sky, which is enough rubbish to pay for already and were probably the spies that sent that nasty woman to my door in the first place.
4. It was my last thing to be naughty about and doesn't that sound sad!
5. Once I have paid, I will have to pay forever until the day I die!
Maybe I should just pay and find a worthier and more important cause to fight ! Or better still , just ignore it all and wait for them to barge into my house and set their eyes on my television set and delight in giving me an enourmous fine , you never know they might not come ! OOOh
the excitiment is killing me !

Who are you calling a little old lady!? Seriously though, you're absolutely right. The minute you start paying, you carry on paying...
