Your tax dollars, in part, paid for part of my salary. My salary pays
for everything I do. However, you didn't have any claim to tell me what
I could do with any other part of my salary. So, your tax dollars, if
indeed you've ever paid any, don't give you any claim to tell me what
to do online, in my classroom, in my work, or anywhere else.

Now that I'm a taxpayer in Alberta, *I* help pay for a good deal of the
operation of your province. Are you now going to argue that I can tell
Manitobans what you can do in your hospitals, classrooms, etc.?

Actually, _no_ one else complained and he was dismissed as a kook by
all involved in the incident.
