This is an interesting argument. Do you really expect that you could go down to the grocery store and tell them that because you had actually paid for your groceries for the past week or month or year or whatever, that you have the right to walk out of the store without paying this time? You will have the cops following you for sure if you do this. The only way someone will make this argument in any normal circumstance is under their breath as they walk out of the store with the thing under their coat. I don't see why you are upset at me for telling you that you are rationalizing. This is very obviously what you are doing. bruce
