Thanks, Wayne. I'm not a fan of big sigs. It isn't my style, but I'm
in a certain "mood" right now. I plan to delete it soon.... but not
tonight.

Aside: I find it interesting that my sig line wrapped in another group
but not in this one. Weird.




We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our
election between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude"

If we run into such debt, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our
drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements,
for our calling and our creeds...we [will] have no time to think, no means of
calling our miss-managers to account but be glad to obtain subsistence by
hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers.
And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle
in one instance becomes a precedent for another till the bulk of society is
reduced to be mere automatons of misery.

And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows
that and in its train wretchedness and oppression.
