And the Healthy Forests Initiative and the Clear Skies Initiative and, last but not least, Operation Iraqi Liberation.

It's the notion that the American taxpayer "works for the government" for the first third of the year that bothers me. A more apt model might be that the government, by building roads, maintaining a national retirement system, ensuring the safety of our workplaces providing for the national defense and a host of other services, works for us. And we only need to pay them for less than half of the year.

Bullshit JJ.

Your agenda is as obvious as Rudolph's Red Nose.

You ought to write a book. You've got quite an imagination. It could be filled with violence and mayhem involving snipers in trees with 50Cal. rifles and such.
