The U.S. faces a serious prospect of war -- on grounds I find to be definitely dubious, and with a long-range goal that won't be easily achieved, even if somebody does take out Hussein. If that wasn't bad enough, as a U.S. taxpayer, my "voluntary" tax payments are subsidizing the government that wants to go to war.
Just a little thought that was running through my head, while preparing my tax return.

I read about tax protesters in Dykes to Watch Out For. I protest not having money to buy records. SO I PAY NO TAX!

Well, that's it then. Democracy is a flop. Who wants to be king?I would like to point out the sexism and monarchism in the above cited post and would like suggest a rewrite, for the concluding question in the above cited post to now read:

However, this is just a suggestion.
