    Actually, I don't think he was doing either, but honestly it was a long time ago so I don't recall specifically.

        I had an otherwise intelligent system engineer once tell me (at Hooters; different story) that "actually, nobody has to pay taxes unless they are directly employed by the federal government" because of something he heard on a Hate Radio broadcast. Your story reminded me of that sovereign citizen stupidity -- I assume it was something like that.

          Do you remember the middle part though? It's actually kinda slow. Mary was getting paid by the word.

            The overreaction isn't the crime. I've never said that. The feds were well within their rights in trying to arrest Gordon Kahl for his parole violation. Law enforcement in Michigan would have been within their rights to confront the protesters at the capital.

            The question is not can you do it. The question is should you do it.

              No sadly...that was quite a few years ago. I remember loving the ending though

              I bet I still have it around here somewhere...maybe I will read it again this summer while everyone else is getting sick going to restaurants and wasting their money.

                They did once the protesters entered the capitol building (to prevent them from entering the chamber), but they legally couldn't stop them from going up to the gallery with weapons, "thanks" to a lunatic law passed by Republicans a few years back.

                  The IRS used to have a spot on their website that listed something like the 25 "most popular" arguments used by people to claim they don't have to pay taxes or file a return. Everything from the way the constitutional amendment was passed to sovereign citizen arguments. They gave citations for cases where the arguments were used and the people went to jail. Next to youtube, it was one of the most enjoyable ways to waste an afternoon on the internet.

                    I’m at Home Depot doing curbside pickup for a few things. The place is ****ing jampacked and half the people aren’t wearing masks going in.

                    Why is this hard? Wear a GD mask. I’m glad target and Costco are not letting people in without them.

                      So it appears now Trump and his cronies have pivoted from "Obama left us no plan to fight this" to "his plan sucked so we came up with our own". Not sure that is the right tact there geniuses...

                        Natural pivot. The thing is no matter what the narrative is it always works with the horde. I've never seen such an unthinking unpondering unable to come to their own conclusion group of idiots in my lifetime. No group has been worse than the Dumpers.

                          I saw people at Costco without them the other day...and of course some who have them on not covering parts (or any!!!) of their face.

                          This is why I am continuing SIP. People are stupid. I will go out for what I need (with a mask) and places where I can distance (like a walk or something) and that is it. I am not risking myself and others by being around a bunch of privileged *******s and whiny soccer moms and their disease infested kids.

                            It and Dracula both stand up. obviously the language is stilted but once you get past that (and it only takes a few pages TBH) they are each wonderful books.

                            I have never read Jekyll. I think I will do that next. In fact I don't think I have ever read any Stephenson, and that is a crime.

                              I went to Home Depot three weeks ago to pick up a couple things because I was already out, saw the parking lot and kept driving. Ordered the stuff online.
