Is the guy who flips the switch to turn on the electric chair a murderer?

This is based off the last "what is a fair tax" question. Let's go back a step. What should our income tax cover? What should we all be chipping in for? And if one of your answers is a utility or something like public roads, then should we progressively tax that even though that person will not use that road more than the other taxpayers? For those of you uninterested in this topic, here are some Beatles lyrics for your entertainment. How it will be.There's one for you,Nineteen for me,'Cause I'm the taxman.Yeah, I'm the taxman.Should five percentAppear too small,Be thankful I don'tTake it all.'Cause I'm the taxman.Yeah, I'm the taxman.If you drive a car,I'll tax the street.If you drive to city,I'll tax your seat.If you get too cold,I'll tax the heat.If you take a walk,I'll tax your feet.Taxman!'Cause I'm the taxman.Yeah, I'm the taxman.Don't ask me what I want it for,(Uh-uh, Mr. Wilson.)If you don't want to pay some more.(Uh-uh, Mr. Heath.)'Cause I'm the taxman.Yeah, I'm the taxman.And my advice toThose who die.(Taxman!)Declare the penniesOn your eyes.(Taxman!)'Cause I'm the taxman.Yeah, I'm the taxman,And you're working for no one but me.(Taxman

A man in a sharp blue suit walks up to a lady sitting alone at the bar. “I’m sorry maam, but I’m afraid we’re going to have to dance,” he says with a sly grin, and shrugs his shoulders a bit. She spins the upper half of her body to him, cracks a smile, and replies, “Oh we have do, do we?” “Yes, I’m sorry, I wish I could do something about it, but it’s out of our hands.” “Oh really? What if I say no?” “Hey, I wish I could help you out, but I don’t make the rules.” Still smiling, he holds out his hand ready for her grasp. Still smiling, she says “Oh really? Who does?” Without hesitation, the sharply dressed man’s smile evaporates. “Narquar of course. He makes every rule.” “What?” she laughs, confused by his reply. “Narquar is the leader. He has a plan for all of us.” Her smile erases, and she hurriedly leaves. His hand still outstretched for the dance moves onto the counter, and grabs her nearly full glass of Budweiser left on the table.

Let's say we all go to the movies. And they say, Eric, your ticket costs $7.50. Jeff, since you're not married but you're working, your ticket costs $12. Matt, since you're only working part time, your ticket will be $3. Likely, Jeff would be mad that Matt gets in for a quarter of his ticket price just because Jeff has a better job. And that's why uneven taxation with completely uneven distribution ticks people off.

I think all of us are pretty similar-minded when it comes to what we want the end-result to be. We all want peace. We all want to end poverty. Where we differ is when we get down to deciding the best means to these results. For example, in this case, all of us want to encourage people to vote, correct. So, here is what the OTHER kind of people decided to do. Arizona decided to turn the primary into a Powerball.

Some people would argue that weather trends have always been sporadic and unpredictable. But Pat Robertson, after a week of hot temperatures has changed his entire feelings regarding science and nature. Unfortunately, by that logic alone, many South Africans this week are screaming "Global Freezing!"

Not my idea. But, "Sabai" enough to post here. Nationalized Birth Control. The idea is that eliminating "accidental" pregnancy would eliminate nearly the entire abortion argument. So, instead of relying on a medicinal form of birth control, we instead create a way for a woman to not get pregnant unless she takes an "Anti Birth Control" Pill. If it was easy, safe and feasible, would you support it?

I'm moving back to Chi-town! (the 'burbs)

God: Would you give up your life today if it meant that 1 more person could enter heaven? Man: Only if my living would result in 0 more entering.

I understand that there is tradition in hunting. And if the hunters end up eating their kill, I've never really had a problem with it. But, it just occurred to me. All hunters predominantly hunt for fun, right? Do people really get joy out of shooting a deer in the heart with a shotgun? That's pretty sadistic.
