<meredith.scsn.net> (Kevin Meredith?), seriously upset that
taxfree@planeteer.com is promoting a lawful tax refusal wrote:

Hey, taxfree! Here's an alternative letter for you to ponder:

Dear Government: Whereas: the Cold War is over;

(silly stuff snipped)

And, whereas you have agreed to no longer collect money from
taxfree@planeteer.com and all those who have similarly refused to 
pay their taxes (hitherto referred to as taxfree et al), I do hereby
demand that all governmental resources be denied to them, or provided
strictly on a fee-for-use basis, and otherwise reserved strictly for
those of us who have paid our taxes.

(large amount of "I demand!" and other stuff snipped)

taxfree@planeteer.com (Daniel J. Lavigne) responds:

There's not much to ponder Kevin. Journalistic pap has 
you thinking humanity's war against itself is over.

Wrong. The "Ad Nauseum" scenario of our violence expands.

And fools continue to pay for the weapons death's wholesalers order. 

Billions support your acceptance of that insanity. So be it. 

But think about this.

When cities lie cratered, littered with skeletons;  

When surviving children are silent shadows of human shells;

When greed has rendered air and water unfit to breathe or drink; 

At what point, if ever, after those events will you start thinking? 

When Kevin?  

Do you have an answer?  

Dare you propose any solution?

Your government knows the refusal is not a tax dodge.
 
It is also aware that millions  will never develop 
backbone or insight sufficient to participate in a 
plan that gives meaning to humanity's existence. 

And Hey! If I'm wrong about you, and your "Hero" status;
tell your masters about the $50,000,000.00 + $1.00 story.

A BARREN PRAYER

Poor human child, born in grace, blessed with parents� love
But trapped in a frenzied race to maim and kill the doves.

Why the play, the love, the ploy - why the birth, the pain, the toil?
Why create and in love train to murder foul and kill in vain?

Hallowed be the mirror that reflects 
The prayerful sinner kneeling, in genuflect?

Glisten softly rosary, in dawn�s sombre light
But . . . grant the forgiveness that blunts a killer�s blight?

Oh God! We pray! Our days are dark, the future vague and far!
Why? We pray! We walk upright! Why have minds like tar?

Why so lost that we transgress the meaning of our �Kind�?
�Cause greed for �things� has blinded all! And we have lost our minds!
