"If taxation without consent is robbery, the United States government has never had, has not now, and is never likely to have, a single honest dollar in its treasury. If taxation without consent is not robbery, then any band of robbers have only to declare themselves a government, and all their robberies are legalized." ~Lysander Spooner

NEWS AND.... THE REST OF THE STORY
Linked stories are for your consideration - I never endorse anyone's opinion but my own. All my writings are well researched; particularly stories pertaining to the environment, renewable energy, military science and bicycling.
Note: As a former American soldier, I don't take sides in international conflicts and try to be objective.
I am a proud American, a former Soviet Jew, a patriot, and an IT professional. “Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.”

“An unbelieved truth can hurt a man much more than a lie. It takes great courage to back truth unacceptable to our times. There's a punishment for it, and it's usually crucifixion.”
