Hiya Les,
Appreciate your input on this, really kind of thought it was just my
imagination.  Come to think of it, I'll bet that's what Bob Dylan meant
when he said "to live outside the law you must be honest" or something
just like that.
Us citizens oughta go after what we want any way we can.  Usually, we
cower.

I think that's something to think about.  I'd noticed being called on
the carpet a little more than usual in the last year, for silly little
shit.  It's kind of interesting for me, and not really too inconvenient,
since we're (my ex & I) pretty straight bookkeepers (except for the
three years' worth of Federal withholding taxes and state sales taxes
she kinda forgot to pay or tell me about forgetting, but that came to my
attention right after she left me, and I was forced to take care of some
of that stuff myself).
I wondered in high school when they made us learn how they took down
gangsters during the Prohibition era with tax laws and sneaky stuff like
that.  How come we had to learn that boring shit?  How could it possibly
be relevant to our lives?
LL>My answer to them is pay'em and...... screw'em: KEEP UP the good fight
  >and KEEP telling the people the truth.
That's going to be my answer too.  I happen to think the local IRS agent
with whom I have to deal is a screaming, dangerous,
frothing-at-the-mouth lunatic (she hasn't been really too rough with me,
but I've dealt with her in another business disguise, and she doesn't
seem to realize it because somebody else's face took care of that stuff
and I just plowed it all into the computer) who has broken on oral
agreement with me and hates men just for fun.  And appears to be using
her discretion to benefit some other butthead.
How's that tagline go?  Smile, and invite them to a tea party?
LL>The ONE thing they can't stand is the truth.
And the truth shall set you free.
