It's an interesting juxtaposition to look at the "$300 Lollipop Fine" and this thread.

In that thread, I thought common sense would dictate something different than jumping to such a harsh punishment but many disagreed.

Would those same folks who argued "The rules are the rules" also agree that the punishment was just here?

Personally, I think it is silly here too.

The woman HAS MD, just not as severe.

Yet the rules are the rules.

I guess I see the difference being that the Bus System is a taxpayer (public) entity and I expect more common sense while the Pageant is a private entity which can make any silly eligibility rules it sees fit to make.
