You have previously said that you believe that speeding is equivalent to shoplifting. You have also said that your wife was caught speeding.

So are you saying that you wouldn't have reacted any differently if she'd been caught shoplifting instead? Be honest now.

Speeding isn't *really* the same as shoplifting, is it? One is a normal behaviour, which is safe in itself and practised daily and broadly accepted by decent, educated people; the other is not. Everyone instinctively knows that they're different, and that's because they are. People should trust such instincts instead of attempting to override them with false logic.
