I can tell you exactly why.

It goes from authority and that authority being questioned.

Teacher to Coach to Police.

The police SEEM to have the most authority.
The Coach second. The Teacher almost none.

Geesh....it's just sickening what these Barney Fife dildoes get away with. I really wonder if we would be better off without them as such a big percentage of the "laws" they enforce are total horsesh*t written by lying, thieving lawyers.

Good God......what ever happened to America?

Government school goons beat a young man while kidnapping him for not being in government school.

Police hate having their actions recorded.

Had she not been a fellow goon, she would have been dragged from the car, beaten, tasered, and killed. Instead, no breathalyser was administered, charges dismissed, and she went home.

A 2nd class (citizen) attempted to pet and kiss a cute police dog. The police attacked with chemical weapons.

The insanity deepens. Of course, being "suspended" from government school is probably the best thing that could happen to him.

Of course, it didn't always used to be this way.

Of course it isn't particularly crazy. Troubled people often make apparent "sense". But their experience may have next to nothing to do with reality. In what way was Joe especially ignored or pissed on compared to, say, the lady who cleans the toilets? His problems seem mainly to have been caused by himself (such as withdrawing his IRA and - I guess - expecting not to have to pay taxes on it).

While I can CERTAINLY understand why folks are angered by the complexity, capriciousness, etc. of the tax code, I don't know why they seem to almost ALWAYS target their anger at the IRS!

The IRS is just the agency charged to enforce the MESS/IDIOCY that congress made - the tax code. Folks should be directing their federal tax related anger, generally, at the idiots on capitol hill. (Secondarily at their fellow citizens who keep clamoring for ever-more programs while not wanting to pay the taxes to fund them, as this will eventually result in yet more taxes).

While an IRS agent may sometimes get out of control or snippy, the agency overall has checks and balances, and generally actually is reasonable and even courteous, UNLESS you ignore them or "wave a red flag in the face of the bull" (which is unwise in almost any context, not just dealing with tax enforcement).

The cook in the mess hall (and since you're using military terminology, I'm assuming the cook is a service member) at least has an accepted element of danger associated with what he/she is doing. Should folks start getting hazardous duty pay for processing tax returns? I work in an active train station with offices in it. I occasionally worry about it.

Oh I don't disagree. We've only got his side of the story in the way he wanted to present it so far; and well, now we can't ask for clarification.

That is what I call "flouncing" - behaving in a manner which draws attention to yourself. Generally the bureaucrats don't give a rat's ass about us and we can do pretty much as we please - as long as we don't flounce.

Fly under the radar, not into a building.

I admit I was wrong here.

I had a long discussion with my wife about this last night. She, being a former attorney, has a knack for breaking down issues into component parts.

She helped me see that there are two issues here, not one. I think it's the how, and the why.

I agree with the why, but not so much with the how. I can empathize with the how. But hurting innocent people isn't right no matter what the cause. This is one reason I oppose the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Certainly this is an emotional issue, and when I first read his note, I got pretty fired up.

And stopped thinking rationally. This is why I love my wife. She has similar views to me but a totally different way of looking at things, which helps ground me at times when I get a little too radical.

I understand why he did what he did, and I think I understand what he hoped to accomplish in the way waking people up. The MSM didn't mention this story last night while I viewed. Tiger Woods was the top story. Also not mentioned were the stories of the Mossad using European passports, obtained illegally, to assasinate a Hamas operative in Dubai. Also not mentioned was the Pres meeting with the Dalai Lama and subsequently pissing the Chinese off pretty good.

I saw those last two stories on Democracy Now. But not on CNN, FOX, or MSNBC.

I guess Mr. Stack figured flying a plane into a building would get some media attention. It did, but not enough to override the peoples' fascination with Tiger Woods.

Again, I apologize if I offended. After thinking about it some more and getting some guidance I can see now that the how was wrong.

But I still think the why was right on the money. If people keep ignoring the government and voting for the status quo, things are going to continue to deteriorate in terms of our civil rights and sensible government.

Let's not lose sight of the arrangement the IRS has with US citizens: give us taxes or we will come to your house and kill you.
