Have them hauled home in a paddy wagon to say hello to their parents after a few dozen hours of picking up litter and scrubbing bus floors. We may not be able to do anything particularly effective to the morons who light *online* fires; but then they are easily ignored when their signal/noise ratio drops to nil. But if you're seeing this kind of behaviour in the real world, for criminney's sake, fix it with the judicious use of a billy club upside the head. No society thrives while letting people piss in the common well. The public transit system is a commons to be protected like any other. If you see people pissing on your public transit, get scared and fix your society. Entirely off-topic, Mike -- ________________________________________________ Mike C.
