Roger,<br> <br> Stop trying to ruin our mudslinging forum by posting meaningful constructive dialog. I had to wade through like five decent posts before I was able to find one attacking me. I just don't have time for that! Who cares about taxes, property rights, and education. Name calling is what this forum is about, Venom 2020. : )<br> <br> Best,<br> <br> _DJA<br><br><b><i>roger hayes <rhayes@turbonet.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> Visionaries:<br><br>This past weekend I posted a brief note on 2020 that under Jim Risch's <br>tax plan my taxes would actually go up.

You <br>don't knock books down on the public library floor; you don't spit on <br>the floor on the rec center; you don't destroy the plants in the <br>planters downtown. We need to see vision2020 as one of those sorts of <br>public resources.<br>Limit your posts. Consider if your posts will generate valuable, and <br>hopefully local/regional discourse before sending them. Do not attack <br>others. Find a different avenue for religious arguments. Do not forward <br>entire articles, or lists, but rather supply the links that people can <br>go to if they choose. Do not intentionally take arbitrary stands that
<br>are meant to bait others. Be constructive.<br><br>Hope for a change,<br>Roger Hayes<br>Moscow<br><br>=======================================================<br> List services made available by First Step Internet, <br> serving the communities of the Palouse since 1994. <br> http://www.fsr.net <br> mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com<br>=======================================================<br></blockquote><br><p>
