I went to the lawyer, signed an estate tax return, and now will pay the State a goodly chunk of change. Why would anyone die in NJ and leave money to other than a relative? Answer, when one has no relatives. I guess the thugs in Trenton figure it’s a safe theft. There’s no victim to complain. Beneficiaries are getting a windfall that they don’t have to pay taxes on. Little do they know that the taxes were paid long before the get a dime. While the feds have eliminated estate taxes, the sates have not. So this grave robbing is “legal”. It may be immoral, ineffective, and efficient. But they get away with it. The lawyer was telling me about a well-off lady who’s husband died and to keep the family farm in Princeton, she had to pay estate taxes that amount to everything else she had. I envision that if there is an Eternal reward, then the politicians who allowed this to happen deserve a special seat close to the fire. Grave robbers!

The Sexualization of Little Girls
***Begin Quote***
Here’s another argument for homeschooling. This is by Lawrence Downes, from of all places, the New York Times. In his article, Mr. Downes refers to this frightening trend as the eroticism of adolescence, but it’s really the eroticism of little girls for the rest of society’s sick enjoyment:

Yup, I can’t see any reason for keeping the current system of “education” where the government aka the gubamint aka the gofferment takes custody of children and reeducates them to love the state more than anything else. It’s a religion!
And, I has I often rant — it’s immoral, ineffective, and inefficient!

XPfails – luggable – Outlook Lookout fails – Reminder left hanging
Wednesday, January 10, 2007Outlook gives me a reminder. Good. I click dismiss. Outlook transforms into LookOut and leaves a zero reminder hanging out. Eventually the performance degrades to unacceptable. Reboot. Argh!

RANT: NJ should cut out some idiots. But they’re in government!

New Jersey may cut ‘idiot’ from constitution
POSTED: 3:59 p.m. EST, January 8, 2007
*** begin quote ***
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (Reuters) — New Jersey is to consider cutting the word ‘idiot’ from its constitution so that people with some mental disabilities won’t be barred from voting. State Senate President Richard Codey introduced a bill Monday that would remove language from the New Jersey constitution that was designed more than 150 years ago to prevent people suffering from mental illness or handicap from casting their vote in national, state or local elections.
*** end quote ***
With all the pressing issues of the day, it’s nice to see that the “idiots” in office have time to handle this pressing issue. As opposed to handling one of the non-pressing issues, like out-of-control property taxes, a dishonest politicians taking “part time” jobs to pad their pensions, and rampant corruption by both parties.
Arghh!

So I contacted WordPress’s global command hq, (OK,I left some feedback to wordpress via their owner’s feedback mechanism.
*** quoting my feedback ***
I’m not so vain as to think any one is impressed by my blog. Heck, I’m not even impressed with it. But, it’s MY ugly baby. Anyway, when I clicked on the blog link it says “new”. So from that I conclude it’s spam. I don’t understand the motivation for spamming blogs, but you may want to put out an APB lest someone of weaker moral character and a less objective sense of their own blog’s worth, might be tripped up. fwiw, fjohn
*** end my feedback ***
The ip address says it’s from California.
I haven’t deleted it because I want to think SOMEONE appreciates my blog. ;-)
LIBERTY: Is the gubamint skool a disaster of epic proportions? Yes!

The Gummint Skools
by Vin Suprynowicz
***Begin Quote***
Gatto urges us to consider the possibility that “School may be a brilliantly conceived social engine that works exactly as it was designed to work and produces exactly the human products it was designed to produce” – fragmented adults who can’t imagine how to survive without the state.
***End Quote***
There’s no question that “public education”, which is neither public, nor education, has some social objectives. Unfortunately those objectives were hidden from the public. Like most bait ‘n’ switch operations, we are now stuck with the results — the dumbing down of the American youth, out of control costs, and dividing the American public into conflicting groups — that are truly disastrous. The tsunami was ONLY a natural disaster that killed people and destroyed property. This unnatural disaster robs us in many dimensions. Killing would be kinder. And, it may very well, kill the American republic. It’s immoral to rob people of their children, their and their children’s dreams, and literally pillage the American taxpayer’s pocketbook.

LIBERTY: Was the AMT deliberate? Let’s watch the “repeal” kabuki!
Sunday, January 7, 2007Baucus, Grassley introduce bill to repeal AMT
***Begin Quote***
The AMT hits more and more taxpayers every year.
***End Quote***
There are many things that the government does that have unintended consequences. This was a bad form of theft to start with and the government policy of inflation makes me wonder if the consequence was unintended!
