In the above example, that is truly frightening.<BR/><BR/>In a world approaching 7 billion individuals, how on Earth is one to have an original thought?<BR/><BR/>Just the same -- you heard it here first.<BR/><BR/>:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11852512566996956448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20077444.post-70622602216490547012007-07-06T11:59:00.000-05:002007-07-06T11:59:00.000-05:00Shhhh!

It's why I don't bother getting upset anymore.<BR/><BR/>What I get from the above segment is that there is potential monetary value stored in every individual's mental health and reputation. Why should the government wait to step in only after money changes hands? I get taxed on the value of "my" home EVERY YEAR, without a change in "ownership." Why shouldn't the government tax my "mental health and reputation" in the same manner?<BR/><BR/>I call for the U.S. Department of Mental Health and Reputation.
