   YES or NO is too vague for you?   
      
   BTW, I am not Mike. You can not PROVE that I am Mike.   
      
   If you could PROVE that I am Mike, you would have done so already.   
      
   But you can't. I am not him.   
      
   No matter how much in your sicko fantasies you want me to be him,   
   I cannot, for I am not him.

   Which laws? Any laws? Even the most mior ones?   
      
   You would endanger the public by condoing high-speed chases to catch   
   someone who panicked after commiting a minor offense?
