I rather be in texas.

I got to do my taxes. Over my years of hearing late night comedy from Leno, Letterman and Conan, on this day they will always, without let down, make jokes on this day about the procrastinating taxpayers of this glorious country. They will repeat the jokes they said last year, the year before, and the year before that. Now it seems that I am in the company of these people who slept in.

I have no objection to pay them. Taxes pay for the services this country provides. Lots do, but taxes are like the honor system. In that we all must pay, for all of our protection. We will pay, and we do.

But in a situation where all people are working in collusion with each other, if they all do not pay taxes. No one can be harmed other then the government. The government can not arrest everyone. There is a limit to their immunity in the sense of freedoms. In this situation the country has no choice but to fail and what ensues is chaos in a land, now lawless.

(response question : but if all people are working in collusion with each other, do they really need government and laws?)

I am feeling hot right now. Not because of my tax situation, but because of the heat from this bus. Also because nothing heats me up more than a shower in a rush.

This is sweat dripping from my forehead. Not from a hard days work, but from the early mornings travel. It this foreshadowing? As the only thing to expect in life is death and taxes. It feels like hell in here.
