[Vision2020] Three for this mourning

[Art Deco]

1.    People (including qualifying Tea Baggers) concerned about tax rip-offs are urged to read about the tax exemptions listed in today's Daily News on page 8b under Commissioners' Proceedings.  This is not a complete list, but it will give you some idea how much you are paying in taxes to support various organizations that most of you would certainly not support except for these legal tax loopholes.


2.    Non-Sequitur,  Wiley Miller




3.  Wisdom from Novelist Reginald Hill:

"... Perfection is unnatural, Sergeant, because it implies the absence of either development or decline.

Haven't you noticed it's the political parties and the religions with the clearest notion of the perfect society that cause the most harm?  Once admit the notion of human perfectibility, and the end can be made to justify any amount of pain and suffering along the way."

-- Reginald Hill, Pictures of Perfection

Here is a very small, local, sad example of Hill's point:


Not only is Hoffman losing his home after having his money sucked away by a local religious organization, but unless some funds come his way, the City of Moscow is likely to be stuck with the bill for sidewalks on north Mountain View that were part of Hoffman's defunct attempted subdivision requirements, unless of course the city council had the foresight to require a performance bond.

Did they, Dan?
