Awwwww, $178,000/yr. isn't enough.  I guess that's what crack does to judges. Now, anyone that can't "afford" to "live" on that amount of money, has a serious problem. And, just how many other jobs start out at above $178,000? Not many I can think of. Maybe a brain surgeon, or baseball player. So, good luck to this druggie, in finding a job.......... Hey, wait a minute, "drug", that's it, he can smuggle drugs, that pays well. But, what will he do in the meantime, he can't collect unemployment, since he quit. Besides, unemployment don't pay anything near what he "needs" to live on. Another thing he should concider, the economy isn't doing all that well, and high paying jobs, are hard to find.
