*** begin quote ***

“If you want to get educated or want to succeed, the welfare office don’t care,” Foster said. “I don’t think they really care what you do once the benefits are gone.”

*** end quote ***

Isn’t that the essence of gooferment? They don’t really really care. True charity requires that personal commitment to the goal. That’s why I like Homefront, spear headed by dedicated troops. They really care and so they are effective.

TECHNOLOGY: Interesting Google problem

Monday, February 26, 2007

http://www.south-brunswick.blogspot.com/

Yesterday, I was trying to post on “the Blog of South Brunswick”. I couldn’t get Google to authenticate me. After too much tinkering, I realized that I had another GMail session open in another Firefox window. Closing that, allowed the signon to proceed and all worked fine. So, if you’re having trouble with Google authentication, look to what you’re signed on to in other windows.

p.s., I got my post in. That’s two.

RANT: Minor fender bender puts me on “tilt”

Monday, February 26, 2007

I was in a minor fender bender yesterday. Argh! Some bozo with NYC plates made an illegal left. I couldn’t stop. And, hit the car in front of me. And, of course, he proceeded along on his merry way. Argh! I hope there’s a special place in hell for him. I’m watching for him. Any way, first accident in decades. Now I have all sorts of hassles with the insurance. Rate will go up. And, I just on tilt. Like the pros on the poker shows, it was just a bad break. Argh! That still doesn’t make it any less aggravating to me.

LIBERTY: The FAIRTAX: A TROJAN HORSE FOR AMERICA?

The FAIRTAX: A TROJAN HORSE FOR AMERICA?
By Claire Wolfe & Aaron Zelman

***Begin Quote***

We’re likely to end up with both a national sales tax and an income tax. Even if legislation required abolition of the income tax (as HR 25 does), a “national crisis” would soon cause the income tax to be “temporarily re-instated” and the Internal Revenue Service would remain in our lives on an “emergency basis” that never ended.

***End Quote***

Sorry, but, I don’t trust the gooferment. Taxes, income – estate -sales, are nothing more than theft by an armed gang. And, while now, I don’t have the power to resist, I don’t agree with “putting lipstick” on this particular pig! The JPFO article makes many good points, not the least of which is that it conditions the sheep people to accept taxation by the government gang as legitimate. And, stealing from someone is never moral. If I did it, I go to jail. If you did it, you’d go to jail. But the government does it, that’s ok?

Nope, no fair tax for me. I’m not going to agree to being robbed. I might get robbed, but I’m not going to say “it’s ok”.
