Quote:Ok, back to the bigger social problem. Did you know that the latest Energy Bill mandates the type of light bulb citizens must use by 2012? I don't have the right to use an incandescent light bulb anymore? I am enslaved by this, and 1000 or more other "laws" that rob me of my freedoms. More than 1/2 my gross income finds its way into the governments coffers, so I consider myself at least half enslaved.
Shouldn't this stuff be a new thread? I can't honestly see how lightbulbs and your taxes have much to do with Barack Obama's pastor, except in a pretty cosmic sense. I'm sure we could cram Tibet in here too, but maybe there should be a new thread for that as well.
It is also very difficult to view this thread now, since Outline view no longer functions correctly.
