However, the kicker on that is that in everything I buy, even one sheet of paper federal taxes are embedded in the price. Guess you just do what you can. Ted Koppell of Nightline TV here did get away with reading the names of all of the U.S. military people who died in the Iraqi war some time back on his program...although he wasn't arrested some stations refused to air the program and the "shit" hit the fan with many, many people. We disallow pictures being taken of the dead arriving home from Iraq as they learned from Vietnam that that would be the quickest way to get people to stop supporting the war. We can sit here all day and watch pictures of the Iraqi's dead, but not our own. We have only recently seen convictions of people for being "tax evaders" who did so out of protesting the military complex. The RAF medical officer has kissed his career goodbye? These people are to be admired and supported as they do what we can't or won't do. linda "Whatever you do will be insignificant and it is very important that you do it."Mohandas Gandhi linda's Growing Stitchery Projects: womyn47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
