Thing is, with all the surveillance anymore and with me not being an 18 yr old who just doesn't know any better, I figured they'd make an example out me. Still, its just so tempting! Hey Seattle Moss,

It was fast becoming pointless to show up here. I'm in full agreement, Americans of this great nation will not abide this rapidly creeping tyranny. This nation was brought into being with the grace of Providence and will never be abandoned. We are The Shining City on a Hill, the beacon of liberty and freedom for all humanity. Its a sacred charge passed forward by the founders to every successive generation. Its our birthright, our duty, as well as our national identity. It will not, and cannot, be extinguished with welfare bribes. Hey Seattle Moss,

He said then he could scare ANYONE. Except BO, it would appear. I remember James Carville famously saying he’d like to come back (presumably after death) as the bond market.

Tax revenues were off by 34% in April, something to the tune of 138 Billion dollars. Add that to the gargantuan deficit. So, the bright bulbs in Washington are scurrying around for cash--Vat tax, internet fees, tax every American until you drop. Bad enough people are losing their jobs and homes, businesses are going belly up. Solution? More spending and more taxes. Remember that tax break for the middle-class?? Hahahaha. Campaigning sure was good training for POTUS. Not! This is just more "magical thinking" on the part of Geithner and Bernake. They cannot print their way out of this mess. Just make it worse. Home mortgage rates went up; stocks and bonds took a slide. How long will the "happy face" in DC continue or comments like: the economy is making a turn in the right direction? If I've read my history correctly, this is the 1930's all over again. It's like watching a train wreck, an out-of-body experience, because we're all on the wretched train.

That's not including the exhales coming out the other end Now you account for the meat that you have eaten over the past year along with the manufacturing and transport and you have a lot of carbon. The liberals want to tax us out of existence. They don't realize that there going with us. That’s a lot of carbon

We breathe out CO2. Our own government says CO2 is a toxin. So, are we not all toxic waste generators? Therefore, since we need to allot for carbon that all of us create... And then we tax for carbon creation... Then how is that different really from taxing us to breathe to begin with? This could be turned with some thought into good p.r. Wow, I wish we would have all just listened to Barack and aired up our tires... we could be off oil by now. ;) Hey Seattle, We need to talk about this carbon tax in relation to a breathing tax.

So the fed gets to use the "rabbit from a hat" valuation method and shabang... I will be one tine short of a pitchfork? Here is a beaut, if this country does not "make" anything, how does one value "zero"? Crazy toon-town these cats live in.

The only bumper sticker I could display without people keying my car. Most people don't get it...They don't have skin in the game like the rest of us. Later my Galt bumper sticker saw new glory as part of a sign hoisted up high at a Tea party revolt proclaiming freedom and my objection to state Income taxes and carbon taxes. I will have to modify the sign to include VAT taxes as well. The Galt's of this country will stop the coming tyranny and restore liberty and Natural law to their preeminence. Hey Viking,

The so-called stimulus money seems like such a joke. Here in Marin county The Bay Model--a small research place the public can visit that studies tides got quite a bit of money. HOW does that stimulate the economy? I am really worried. I sell beads and gems on-line. Ebay used to be my primary venue--December 08 my sales were ONE SIXTH of my Dec 07 sales!!! I have recovered on other venues so that I'm back to about 1/2 to 2/3 of what I used to sell per month. But it's worse than I've ever seen it in 8 yrs of selling on-line. People used to buy 3-6 items per invoice. Now I have many sales that are one item only. More work for me for less money. People are really careful with their money or they don't have any discretionary income at all. I have to run sales every other week to boost revenue. My husband and I are boomers with a high school age daughter. Her college fund evaporated last year. I just don't see the recovery happening soon enough. We are really worried.

The curse I live with is the historical knowledge that I have gained from living in Europe and America where I get to see the parallels of history and our inability to learn or even discover the past. History is the most important subject in order to make an inference and with a certain amount of accuracy predict the future.
