If I were like everyone else, I would have stopped doing things that ruffled the feathers of this administration as well as the local aldermen and various other departments of this city. I'm glad I pursued my course and fought, and continue to fight, for what is right and just. There is an old saying that I sometimes tell myself when things look bleak and it goes like this: If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
Think about that. In the meantime, you can look at my reply to the tickets I was given. It's a pdf file so you need a pdf reader.

Doing community work is usually a thankless job that requires a great deal of time and energy. Most activists are usually underpaid and overworked. Many times organizations seek grants to sponsor their activities but those grants usually come with strings attached or restrictions as to what can be done.
Wayne could not live a life with strings tugging on him, pulling him in directions that he would not want to go. He is a free thinker who would prefer to stand up for his rights, then relinquish a single one.
Perhaps one day we all shall come to that point in life whereby our principles are challenged and we then must face the decision to relinquish or stand up.
Will you stand for something, or, fall for anything?
