Of course, if this car was at the far end of the lot, then who cares. But, this was funny!

LIBERTY: “Social Security Insurance” theft
Saturday, January 13, 2007From an alumni obit
***Begin Quote***
John M. Conrad, Sr., 64, a resident of Hopewell Junction for 12 years and formerly of Mount Vernon, died unexpectedly on Saturday, December 23, 2006 at Vassar Brothers Medical Center, Poughkeepsie.. He was a graduate of Manhattan College. He was employed as a real estate manager for IBM, White Plains for 30 years until his retirement in 1991. He was currently working as a certified real estate appraiser for Trans Union of Albany and Buffalo.
***End Quote***
No, it’s not in the wrong category. This is really about Liberty.
Here’s an example of the tyranny of government.
DO you think this fellow would have paid 15% of his lifetime earnings into an insurance policy that was an annuity that didn’t payoff anything if he died?
Nah!
While it is true that the widow can collect “on his record” which gives her the greater of her benefit or his benefit. Either of which is enough for “dog food”.
I bet his IBM pension covers his spouse in full. That is that there is no nonsense about discount.
And, it is true that there is a small disability benefit during his working years. But you don’t think those ads in the paper by lawyers offering to sue for your social security insurance disability benefit are there because it’s easy to claim that benefit?
And, if I sold you an annuity that had no guaranteed payout or no value if you died before collecting anything, then I bet I’d be in jail for theft. If you look at the sites of those who sell insurance, you’ll find that you can’t buy that type of policy without a ton of paperwork. Some require the notarized signature of the spouse “waiving” the option. And, they require an attorney, paid for but not retained by the insurance company to represent the buyer’s interest. Some don’t even offer the option at all.
So, why do we permit political thugs to rob us? Enslave us? Make us poorer? It’s like being a slave.

LIBERTY: Cabbage Regulation! And why does the fed regulate cabbage?
Friday, January 12, 2007Found in an email tagline
***Begin Quote***
The Lord’s Prayer is 66 words, the Gettysburg Address is 286 words, there are 1,322 words in the Declaration of Independence, but government regulations on the sale of cabbage total 26,911 words.

Don’t know if it’s true, but it sounds like the gooferment.

INTERESTING: Bad news about a friend
Friday, January 12, 2007A friend may have had a TIA. Her husband called me on the way home from the hospital. It wasn’t until we were deep into conversation that I realized he was talking and driving. I rudely rushed him off the phone so he could get home safe with a promise to call in a few minutes. I hope he understood that I didn’t want more trouble. Cell phones and cars don’t mix. I think that OnStar is some how different. At a lotta cents per minute, your conversation will be short. No free minutes there. And, it’s truly handsfree with a good quality. No “can you hear me now” with it. Good thing, at those prices. Any way, I’m anxiously whiling away the minutes until he send me an email and I can call. What else can one do. SO far away. Any way, when he reads this, I hope he knows it was his best interest in my heart. Hope it came across that way. Injineers are not known for delivering good messages. Tapping the keyboard aot twiddling my thumbs. Say my grandmother’s prayer “In your hands Lord, here’s my trouble”. Let’s hope that it’s just the “Littlest” of a little TIA. I don’t make new friends easily. So I can’t to afford to lose any. Yeah, yeah, I know you’re amazed I have any with my wise-backside tongue. Nah, nah, some people like a “spicy fellow” like me. Gottago there’s his email.

World’s Two Richest Men Can Eat for Free at Hooters
*** begin quote ***
(Atlanta, GA) On Friday October 20, 2006 Bill Gates and Warren Buffet made a stop at the Hooters Restaurant along with members of the Board of Directors for Berkshire Hathaway. The visit came at the request of Buffet so the group could pose for a Christmas Card photo with the chain’s beautiful Hooters girls.

You have to be able to laugh at yourself. And, the wings are great. With copious amounts of an adult beverage.

Officer Frees Bald Eagle With One Bullet
***Begin Quote***
(AP) DES MOINES, Iowa A bald eagle owes its life to the sharpshooting skills of an Iowa conservation officer. Though the bird has yet to offer any thanks, Jason Sandholdt is getting plenty of recognition from those who saw him use a single bullet last weekend to free the bird from a branch that hung over a cliff at Lake Red Rock.
***End Quote***
It’s a tool. It’s nice when you see a good use for a tool. I guess we should have the “Annie Oakley” award, for the best use of a tool, like the Darwin Award.

“Without an expanded income tax, nothing will matter.”
***End Quote***
How about recognizing that the income tax, like all the other taxes, is just theft? With politicians drunk on power and money, there can never be enough money. It didn’t work for the French Kings. It didn’t work for the Communists. And, it won’t work for the komisars in Trenton either.
Remember the income tax was supposed to replace property taxes. Fooled ya. The Lottery was for education. Fooled ya. Vote for us we’ll lower property taxes. Fooled ya. (And, we stiffed you with an unnecessary penny sales tax for boondoggles.)
People read Peanuts and laugh as Lucy pulls away the football on poor old Charlie Brown. The taxpayers of New Jersey are just poor old Charlie Brown except that they just don’t know it. And, it’s not funny to be Charlie!
