"It is said, mostly by Libertarians, that ‘taxation is theft.’ Theft is too mild a word. Typically, a thief strikes only once, and doesn’t pretend that his robbery is legitimate. Taxation is actually slavery."
-- Rick Tompkins

I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

When life gives you lemons make lemonade, then take that lemonade and spit it back into the face of the person who gave you the lemons until they give you the oranges you asked for in the first place.

We visited the Dali Museum on 1 Jun 11. I was amused by the following:

Rational thought will not lead you to truth. ~Salvador Dali

Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

For as long as you remain in the military, or if you ever return to your prior career in civilian law enforcement, I'd like to see to it that you get your paychecks on time, every time. And I want to make sure that your training and equipment are top-notch, too. In the absence of some protocol of taxation, how would we pay for that?

Why? I like to be amused.

Oh, I forgot. There is no humor on the liberal side.

Sigh. I remember when rational thought was the purview of conservatives. Men like George Schultz and Howard Baker; Kissinger and Eisenhower.

It just seems you have made a few remarks recently that a lack of thinking was required for religious enlightenment.

"He who warned the British that they weren't going to be taking away our arms by ringing those bells and, um, making sure as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that, uh, we were going to be secure and we were going to be free".

Probably all of them. Imagination is a better activity.

"I told him. it was Revere, he as-
ked if it was Paul? I told him yes He asked me if
I was an express? I answered in the afirmative. He
demanded what time I left Boston? I told him; and
aded, that their troops had catched aground in passing the River,
and that There would be five hundred Americans there
in a short time, for I had alarmed the Country all the way up."

Listen O voters and you shall hear
Of the morning ride of Pat Revere.
On the fifth of April, in Seventy-Five
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.

He said to his friend, "If the Russians come
by air or sea into town tonight
Swing a flashlight from the belfry arch
Of the South Church tower as a signal light.
One if by air, two if by sea
And I on the Jersey shore will be,
Ready to drive and spread the alarm
To the British in every mall, village and farm,
That Alaskans have the right to bear arms.

Then he said "Good-night!" and with a muffled roar
Hustled off to the Jersey shore,
Just as, you know, the moon rose and stuff,
And reflected and whatnot on the, uh, bluffs.

When there on the water, seen from afar,
The Somerset, Russian man-of-war;
A phantom ship, with each mast and spar
Swarming with liberals, who spied from afar
Our oil platforms, all magnified
By their own reflection in the tide.

Meanwhile, pacing in his boots,
Impatient to drive with a heavy foot,
On the opposite shore walked Pat Revere.

And lo! as he looks, on the belfry's height
A glimmer, and then a gleam of light!
He springs into his truck, the key he turns,
But lingers and gazes, till full on his sight
A second flashlight in the belfry burns.

A screech of tires in a village street,
A shape in the moonlight, a bulk in the dark,
And beneath, from a speedbump, in passing, a spark
Struck out by a muffler, shiny and sleek;

That was all! And yet, through the gloom and the light,
The fate of a nation was riding that night;
And the spark struck out by that truck, in its flight,
Kindled the land into flame with its heat.

He has left the village and entered I-5,
His bell warns of an approaching tide,
Of liberals eager to grab the guns
Of the British or the colonists or perhaps either one.

His shot is heard around the world,
As the first flag of that war is unfurl'd.
Or did that shot come from Concord center?
Whatever; it really doesn't matter.

So through the night drove Pat Revere
And so through the night went his shots of alarm
To every mall, village and farm
A sound of defiance, and not of fear,
A crack in the darkness, a hole in the door,
And a shot that shall echo for evermore
For, borne on the night-wind of the Past,
Through all our history, to the last,
In the hour of darkness and peril and need,
The people will waken and listen to hear
The warning that it's time to secede
In that morning message of Pat Revere.

by a similar line of thinking, any social compact to form a government enslaves its participants.

So being a Christian is un-reasonable. Interesting.

Well I certainly think it is. The interesting thing here is that so, apparently did the great Protestant himself. Not quite sure what process led him to re-think (re-unquestioningly-believe?) the doctrine of Rome.

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.” ~ Marcus Aurelius

"Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government." ~ Henry Kissinger

“Bankers own the earth; take it away from them but leave them with the power to create credit, and, with a flick of a pen, they will create enough money to buy it back again. If you want to be slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let the bankers control money and control credit.” ~ Sir Josiah Stamp
