Hey, man, that's the tip of the iceberg! *The government takes money

Bet you wish you could unilaterally prevent the government from taking
YOUR money from you "by threat of force". *Then you could handle all
of the above and much, much more, all by your widdle self! *Hint: *Lay

I love my Liberal friends, even though they live in LaLa land, have no
clue and are blind as to what those they worship are really all about.

Who's "worshipping"? You can cite all the hairy breathless media
examples you please; I'm way ahead of you. Laws are on the books;
increasingly so as voters wake up to what's being done in their name.
(Also as more & more women become active in public life, and I'm not
talking about whores like Palin and the crazed born-agains in Congress
and local entities.)

Only an informed and aggressive citizenry -- coupled with the few
media that still do priceless investigative reporting -- will keep the
responsible entities performing according to the law(s).

We've come a LONG way, baby, since the days of unrestricted pollution
and exploitation. Only we still need to sleep with our eyes open,
keep ourselves informed, get after the lawbreakers, and most of all,
keep the heat on our bought-and-sold government. Or are you OK with
Chinese baby food that kills babies?

Note also that the current crop of corporate whores in Congress are
intent on rolling back what protections we HAVE gained over the last
decades. Have you contacted your wh..sorry, Representative or
Senator, to let them know you don't wantto lose environmental
protection; WIC (women and children nutrition for poor people); public
television (soggy though they are, they DO offer some alternative
reporting); protection against predatory foreclosures; early childhood
education, etc.etc. anything that contributes to a healthy and well-
educated citizen rather than a mindless consumerist robot. Nobody is
going to do it for you.
