National [insert your crazy here] day

It is sad when people murder. We must mourn with those who mourn. The pastor who planned on burning Qurans (Korans) today should be ignored. First, unless he steals the Qurans, he has to purchase them. This means that the pastor is supporting Quran printers, which is a good thing. Also, burning books? Really? He is definitely making a statement, but he communicates no intelligence. I would ask you to take some time to read the Quran today. Reach out to the Muslims in your community, and let them know you bear no ill will toward them or their religion. And one word on "the 1st 9/11." Some anti-Mo's made a movie a few years ago calling the Mountain Meadows Massacre the 1st 9/11. Apparently some of the documentation of the massacre that makes Mormons look really bad, was forged by the notorious Mark Hoffman. I'm not sure on the precise nature of the documents, but I imagine this, like most other horror stories about Mormons, has been exaggerated. Not that the ...

War Profiteers: Merchants of Death

Whenever someone asks you to believe that war is good for the economy, he asks you to acquiesce in a conspiracy that murders to get gain.

Letter to an IRS agent

I recently wrote this to my friend who works for the IRS. Taxes are necessary, especially for the national defense. Two cases to support this: The Irish of the 8th and 9th century, and the American Indians of the 14th through the 19th. The Irish and the Indians lacked a centralized government, and therefore paid no taxes. Because of this, trade flourished and war was non-existent among them. However, both societies were destroyed by outsiders who paid taxes, and who therefore had the means to support a well-trained army. Lesson: pay enough taxes to provide for the common defense. The question now arises: how much should the people pay? This is where your job comes in. You might not get to set the tax rate, but it is your job to make sure people pay up. Why does an ordinarily honest citizen risk “stealing” from the government? Because a man evades taxes that he considers unreasonably high. In other words, tax evasion does not prove that Americans are criminals; rather, it proves...

I've been having this discussion with a friend recently: Though our conversation wasn't nearly as cool.

You can't eat that

Americans do not have the right to eat what they want. The FDA expressed this view, which can be found at ftcldf.org , or on page 5 of the July 2010 issue of Acres USA . Quote: "There is no absolute right to consume or feed children any particular food." This highlights how the government has turned the constitution on its head. The constitution began as a document that defined a few select powers reserved for the government, all other powers and rights being reserved to the states, or to the people . Now the government assumes all powers not expressely forbidden by the constitution, and restricts all the rights of the people save those it, the government, expressly permits. That's bs.
