Default Re: Jeter in Tax Trouble

Anyway, I'll respond viscerally like I do with everything else. Logical arguments and quotes from codes aside...believe me I know them well. As much a passionate baseball fan as I am, I'm not sure I can equate a President of the most powerful nation on earth making up a war and inciting genocide (see Bill: Kosovo) to cover his indiscretions so to speak, to some doofus baseball player "cheating" on his taxes or another ego fluffed baseball player using substances that weren't banned at the time. The court of public opinion...no doubt should be on castigating these individuals.

Stay w/ me here...the analogies aren't even close.

The lists of the worst offenses pale. Rotten things in this tiny microcosm..yes. I don't think you can compare the proponent of mass killings w/ some guy fighting dogs in Virginia or some other dude shooting up whatever..anywhere. Of his own volition.

I should probably recuse myself of the tax argument in any case because I think we are just cows to the machine and there should be a national sales tax and no income or property tax..but that's just me...moo. So, "cheating" becomes only an argument if you are slaves to the machine and just do as you're told and don't exact change on an individual level. As we get squeezed into proverbial boxcars and how's Britney doing? Can't smoke, can't drink, can't drive, can't, can't, can't except pay the man.

The D.O.D. works in overtime. I'll be an expatriate in 2 years and you will enjoy 8 more years of the most powerful and evil couple in modern times. There's a reason the Aztecs looked at 2012 as the end days.

BTW. Jetesy can fuck as many hookers as he likes and not pay their parking tab. The hell do I care about his personal life other than some kind of odd voyeuristic journey into the darkness of his soul and the Post needs to sell more papers. Y'all can leave the moral argument out the door. I can control my own ethics. That's it. This holier than thou attitude is generally promulgated by those who can't keep their frocks off 11 year old boys. I don't trust the judgmental.
