<<All individuals who work for the IRS are either ignorant or evil.>> Terrence, that seems really unfair. Some managers and others who set policy are certainly guilty of crimes against taxpayers. But other IRS employees have filed complaints against them, and also testified before Congressional committees because they believe that is wrong. And most people are just trying to support their families the best way they can. I know you find it hard to imagine a world where people have different abilities and opportunities in life. I have pointed out before that not everyone has entrepreneurial talents or desires, and that a society needs many kinds of people to survive. Imagine if everyone was flying around in a black helicopter like you are. There would be a traffic jam, and way too many helicopter accidents.

Terrence, I am going through the articles I clipped out which now sit yellowed and yucky in a basket near my computer. Did I share this with you yet? This is from the S.F. Chronicle, sometime in the past: Critical Ash, which describes itself as a "secret, loosely organized band of smokers," says it will invade a designated bar in San Francisco tomorrow, and the first Friday of every month, "puffing on menthols, cloves, unfiltereds, cigars and king- and queen-size cigarettes." The group welcomes "red-blooded, brown-lunged civil libertarians" to a clandestine place that rhymes with the name of a Middle Eastern candy. I guess you missed the smoke-in, Terrence, but there may be more. Stay tuned! And I have no idea about the Middle Eastern candy, either.
