… a friend dies with an estate, and the NJ state grave robbers will take 15%. When will people realize that this is grave side robbery. Proper estate planning should result in the deceased leaving nothing for the state to tax. Arghh, give it away, spend it, buy gold coins, whatever!
MONEY: Well got another lesson in estate planning …

For Benjamin Miles, 4, in Brooklyn, pushing for a green light is fun. But does it work? That’s another story.
For Exercise in New York Futility, Push Button

***Begin Quote***
For years, at thousands of New York City intersections, well-worn push buttons have offered harried walkers a rare promise of control over their pedestrian lives. The signs mounted above explained their purpose:
To Cross Street
Push Button
Wait for Walk Signal
Dept. of Transportation
Millions of dutiful city residents and tourists have pushed them over the years, thinking it would help speed them in their journeys. Many trusting souls might have believed they actually worked. Others, more cynical, might have suspected they were broken but pushed anyway, out of habit, or in the off chance they might bring a walk sign more quickly.
As it turns out, the cynics were right.

It’s a small thing, but at the same time, a huge example.
Push the button, citizen! And we in the government will respond. Fooled you again sucker.
Can you ever envision WalMart doing that? No, they have phones around the store. Ever call one? An associate or a manager comes pretty promptly. Even KMart, has such a system.
Ever call teh gubamint? Yeah, that’s a snooze. Most people would rather go for root canal than endure that.
Small fib these sings? Yup.
BUT, part of the big lie!
