Ouch! That seems - ah - harsh.
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.--Yeats |

If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Tommy, I have always argued that the income tax is one of the greatest tools for control of the American people. Essentially it is a tool of terror.
I remember reading one story in a book on government scr*wups in which the IRS penalized a man nearly $150 for being off on his taxes by 1 lousy penny. A court ruled in favor of the IRS for imposing a $500 fine because he had written "in protest" on the check he had to send to them for taxes owed. Even his free speech rights were squashed. As for the fines for overpaying his taxes, I see this as a way for the British government to keep the money he sent, regardless of how much he protests! That will teach him to complain!
Magic! The quicker picker-upper!
