meredith.scsn.net (Kevin Meredith) having slipped his bonds and jumped
the fence, discovers that over doing the prozac thing can be gosh darn
good fun! 

It helps take his mind off the small problem of justifying his
acceptance of weapons of mass murder and the stated will of those who
yank his chains to use them against his fellow counterparts - at any
time they believe it �in their nation�s interest to do so�.

Kevin, for reasons best known to and hidden deep within his smooth
skinned brain, has yet to offer the �logical justification� of his
entrenched belief that no one has the right to refuse support society
just because it is so lost to the madness of greed as to participate in
plans and preparations involving the will and the capacity to
manufacture weapons of mass murder. 

And he truly believes that no one should be able to claim the right to
refuse to support any society simultaneously teaching millions of  young
adults that training to press  buttons that will launch humanity back to
the stone age is completely normal and acceptable - because he believes
if we say we will do it - we won�t have to do it!(?) Wake up Kevin!  

Some of this is above and beyond his grasp. - But not to worry so Kevin,
your spoutings, at a very minimum are assisting me in communicating the
message that every human being has a lawful and unassailable right, and
a concurrent and unavoidable duty to refuse to participate in plans and
preparations that involve the will and the capacity to mass murder
fellow human beings. 

Kevin! the tax refusal is for everybody! Anybody can lawfully
participate! Its   L E G A L !!!

You don�t have to be so scared! You stop supporting the insanity and
some similar soul (who I gather you consider, for some reason or other,
your mortal enemy) stops supporting the insanity . . .  see its simple! 

Everybody stops with the war drums and �my gun is bigger than your gun�
bullshit and humanity gets a chance to study its soul; to understand
what being �human� is all about! 

So can the stupid stuff, take off your dunce cap, have a laugh and think
about it . . . go ahead its easy! read and learn how to have a laugh!
and exactly how easy and enjoyable life can be!

and now,  . . . drum roll please . . . Kevin�s bit of clockwork orange!:

To those afraid you won't have what you need when taxfree's Big Exciting
Tax Revolt takes place, fear no more!

Listed below are some of the finest products available to those
preparing for the revolt and who have some extra money on hand because
they, like taxfree, don't have to pay taxes anymore.

PLUS! Order now and get 15 percent off!

1. Property flags and ribbon. Now that there's no more taxes, there
aren't any more streets, parks, schools, libraries, post offices etc.
either.

These flags, which come 100 to a case, are ideal for marking off your
new property in areas previously owned by the government. The
extra-sturdy pole can be imbedded in the concrete of streets and
sidewalks, but will provide a firm hold in soft surfaces as well, such
as playground sand. And each case comes with 100 feet of ribbon bearing
the message, "Cross this line and die." $15.96 per case.

taxfree@planeteer.com asks: Kevin . . . how many feet of tape per case?
That�s not wise Kevin. Customers will balk! That�s one foot of tape per
flag! Here�s a solution. �Move� the price (don�t �increase� it) a few
dollars higher, say to $27.95 and throw in �for free� some 10 rolls of
tape at 200�/roll - that�s merchandising - you�ll make a killing! :)

2. Automatic assault weapon with scope and laser. You'll be doing lots
of
shooting when the tax revolt comes, mainly to defend your property, but
also to help taxfree execute any lingering government types or former
polluters. $2,095 per weapon.

taxfree@planeteer.com wonders: Sounds pricey. How many rounds per weapon
are included in this price? Plus! I�m a bit worried here! What�s with
this �execute� requirement? That sounds like an awful lot of paper work.
Can�t we just shoot them or such and feed them to the wildlife? 

Just kidding folks, but I think Kevin will kick the traces when he first
eyes this and fails to read the whole thing before hiring another band
wagon. (Are you working for the government Kevin? Go ahead feel free to
tell us, we won�t tell your boss.) 

3. Framed Wisdom of taxfree. That's right, now you can be reminded of
the
utopiatic wisdom of taxfree anywhere in your home -- your bedroom,
kitchen, bath. Each portion of taxfree's wisdom, culled from his daring
Internet posts, is embroidered on all-natural cotton and framed in black
faux-bone. Order one of the the wisdoms below for $7.99.

(taxfree@planeteer.com asks, in a friendly way, �utopiatic�? sounds good
but just maybe it should go like this: �be reminded of taxfree�s utopian
wisdom anywhere�) (and what�s with the $7.99!!!!!?? Wisdom, Kevin
doesn�t grow in schoolrooms!! People are ready to pay for this stuff!
Get rich overnight, offer your selection of choice tidbits at $49.95 per
on purple cross-weaved linen with red and blue focal points. At this
price you�ll get rich and I want my 95% thank you!)

4. "Why Jimmy's Mom and Dad Had To Die" Comic Book. As taxfree implies
in
most of his recent posts, a real live anti-tax anti-pollution
anti-weapons-of-mass-destruction revolt can't happen without a lot of
good
old fashioned killing. This comic book has been written especially for
children under 10 who may not understand why it's so important that all
the people who disagree with taxfree be killed. Children can learn along
with Chuckie as his parents explain why his best friend Jimmy's parents
were summarily executed in their living room while Jimmy watched, and
how
happy Jimmy is now that he has been sold as a slave to a tribe in a
nearby
suburb. $5.99 per issue.

(taxfree interjects: That�s Kevin�s hopeful interpretation of the posts.
He knows it isn�t so. But heck! How will anyone pay attention to him if
he can�t tell one or two lies here and there and over yonder and . . .) 

But, in another vein . . . stand still Kevin while I�m looking! 

Here�s another educational idea! A book written specially for children
explaining why their parents felt they had to pay taxes in support of
weapons that would be used to murder every other family on the face of
the earth including their pen pals in other nations because the price of
oil had to be kept at a reasonable price for . . . mommy and daddy and
the kids!! 

This should sell like Shell gas after they murdered my compatriot Ken
Saro-Wiwa. But I doubt that you ever heard of the name, person or care
to know about him , his actions and what he did in the name of humanity
and the struggle for freedom from your kind.

But I won�t give up on you Kevin, as long as you promise not to give up
on yourself and remain open to the possibility that being human is
acceptable for the populace at large.


5. Taxfree's Yard Varmint Recipe Book. Once all the roads have broken
down
and there aren't any more government officials to ensure the smooth
operations of commerce, you won't be able to travel much further than
your
own yard to get food. But you'd be surprised how delectable ordinary
grubs, ants, worms and other creatures can be if prepared properly.
What?
Found a human intruder in your backyard?! Taxfree's got a few recipes
for that, too! $19.95 per copy.

taxfree@planeteer.com points out to Kevin: Maybe, just maybe, Kevin,
your neighbors and fellow citizens have more smarts than you seem
willing to acknowledge; and here, just above, you suggest that their
just dumb taxpayers! Yet, you said elsewheres that nuclear weapons will
never be used because people are too smart to do so;  Care to take a
stab at explaining why they were built (forget the ideology thing -
that�s a non-starter) and why you believe we just can�t live at peace
with each other?


6. "Ignorance is Strength -- A Taxfree History" Finally, the real
history
of the human race. Find out how wonderful human life used to be before
governments raised taxes and enforced all those stupid principles like
equal protection under the law, due process, national defense, fair
elections, universal education and a transportation infrastructure to
support commerce and dramatically improve standard of living. Learn the
truth about the Internet, one of taxfree's favorite media for expressing
his views. Think it was developed by the U.S. government? Not in this
book!

taxfree@planeteer.com adds (for Kevin�s comprehension)
Here we are in the mid 21st century, and everyone has the means to
destroy the world. How long Kevin before someone like your present self,
thoroughly upset that no one is listening to his control trip, says:
�Piss on it! and presses the button? 

Think about it Kevin. If history has shown us anything its that all
weapons can be re-engineered for effective use by lesser numbers. 

Think about it and your knowledge of human predispositions. How can you
justify your presumption to speak for future generations, stating that
no  individual has the right (or as in my case, should not have the
right) to push society to think about the future and our present and
undeniable will and capacity to murder each other on simple whimsy? 

Think about it Kevin! You have the energy! Get involved on the right
side of the issue!

taxfree@planeteer.com, ever the mischievious devil, frustrating Kevin�s
curses and all that, . . . adds a bit more! I�ve turn it into a roast
Kevin day!

7.  Kevin�s corpse a shiskabob (what�s that you say? All fat and no
meat? Damn! Can�t even trust your neighbourhood butcher these days!)

And! another drum roll please! 

Kevin, if this helps my book sales . . . were you expecting some kind of
a percentage? How does this work?  A 95/5 split in favour of the good
guy? :)

If more than my predicted 660-670 participants join within three years .
. . will I owe you any extra? :)

And . . . really, I shouldn�t, but shucks, why not? You mentioned that
the net was developed by your favourite government. And here, I, a poet,
seeking justice . . . tres delicieux . . . n�est ce pas?

Laugh at or with Kevin folks, but he does have a refreshing bit of
passion regarding the protection of his ego and wallet. (it might have
to do with his ownership of savings bonds)

Build your energy levels to that of Kevin�s! Read:

�IN MUDDY FIELDS FORGOTTEN�

ABOVE MUDDY FIELDS FORGOTTEN, O�ER FOOLS THROWN THERE ASTREW,
RAPTORS SOAR SO PATIENTLY  FOR SOLDIER MEAT ANEW

THEIR CAW A CERTAIN TEMPO, EYES GLANCING DOWN THE WAIT
FOR BULLETS THROUGH VACANT MINDS AND CARRION FOR THEIR PLATES.

GOD! I PRAY! DAMN SUCH FOOLS! SUCH BRAINLESS, USELESS TWITS!
SEND THEM TO A SPECIAL HELL! WHERE TOGETHER THEY CAN FRIT!

ABOUT THEIR FLAGS AND COLOURS, AND REASONS LONG FORGOT; 
AND WHY THEY DIED SO USELESSLY, THEIR SHROUDED FACES FROUGHT, 

WITH THE PRICE OF THEIR STUPIDITY, 
AND THEIR SOULS SO CHEAPLY BOUGHT.

DO THEY CURSE THAT IGNORANCE, THEIR KNOWLEDGE TOO LATE LEARNED?
AND ACHE AT OUR �REMEMBRANCE�, OF BRAVERY NEVER EARNED?
