- ... portraying. Cyrano is a man that was very generous. Many people have different attributes that make them different from other people, but most of them find a way around them. I think that Cyrano shouldn't have let his nose interfere with what he really wanted in his life. Another scene that helps out with the similarities of the two titles is C.D.'s and Cyrano's living conditions. Cyrano lived with the soldiers in the quarters, and had very little spending money. C.D. lived with the Firemen most of the time, he also as a fireman did not make ...

- 24104: Drinking And Driving Offences
- ... for the following offences. "Having Care and Control of a Motor Vehicle while Impaired" is another offence. Having care and control of a vehicle does not require that you be driving it. Occupying the driver's seat, even if you did not have the keys, is sufficient. Walking towards the car with the keys could be suffi- cient. Some defences are you were not impaired, or you did not have care and control because you were not in the driver's seat, did not have the keys, etc. It is not a defence that you registered below 80 m.g. on the breath- ayzer test.

In a perfect world, where everyone is informed, intelligent, and aware of their ... tell them. The result is that everybody feels "burned" by the government, never realizing that they could have tipped the election simply by paying attention. Another problem with democracy is the structure of any government's bureaucracy. Vote for a party/candidate only in principle, because in practice, they act completely the same. Imagine bureaucracy as a great fast-moving train; even if another engineer takes control, it is incredibly hard to make any large adjustments without severely unstabilizing the train.
