The auditors have gone through his books, and found nothing out of the
ordinary. His books have a lot of zero's but nothing of substance.

Billy the Kid was New Mexico.

He also roamed through easten and southeastern Arizona.

A quick google says you're right. He once got busted at Fort
Grant. Interesting.

I oughta know. *I grew up in the area. *And Fort Grant is just on the
other side of Mount Graham.

Also, Dave, in the 1950s, Fort Grant was known as a facility for
juvenile detention. I wonder if it still is.

I had forgotten about that. Googling indicates that the old
juvenile facility was turned into an adult prison in 1973. I
moved to Arizona in 1966 I would have known it as the juvenile
facility.

my tax money is helping to pay for usenet.

Your tax money doesn't pay for the Internet. Not any more.

Never paid for USENET in any case. USENET was around before there was
an Internet.

how are you contributing
to society? sitting at home today eating hot dogs in front of the
tv
doesn't count.

My wife and I are licensed foster parents specializing in the
care of medically fragile infants. In the last twenty-two years
we've had about 80 babies come into our care, all of them with
medical problems, such as HIV infection, fetal alcohol syndrome,
"failure to thrive", drug addicted etc. Our last baby was born in
a toilet to a crack using mother and was badly cared for. Our
current baby was born with fetal alcohol syndrome and a couple of
holes in his heart that don't belong there; at ten weeks age he
weighs less than seven pounds. When and if we can get his weight
up a couple more pounds he will receive heart surgery.

Our function it to give them the kind of loving care and home
medical treatment that will help the babies grow big and strong
enough and well enough to be either returned to their parents or
placed in a good adoptive home.

We have adopted two of these babies ourselves. One was HIV
infected and, sadly, died a few days before her ninth birthday.
See http://www.stdc.demon.co.uk/felicia/ for a web page put up by
a good friend.

We also have a girl, now nine years old, who suffered a brain
lesion in utero and is consequently a 'special needs' child with
cerebral palsy.

Good on you. I don't think I could deal with such things with my
sanity intact (well, maybe it's too late for that).

So tell me again: what is it you do for society? Pay your taxes?

If you're interested in doing what we do I'd be glad to supply
more information and some references.

He's not worth the effort you know.

According to our Founding Fathers, it's my legal right, after paying
my taxes, to pursue
my own life, liberty, and happiness. You should know that my whole
goods
companies provide more useful
goods and services to society that have benefited more people than you
can ever care for. So who are you
to criticize?
Are you one of those liberals who believes everybody
else should either do what you do or burn in hell?

He's not worth the effort you know.

he doesn't care about me. he just wants boasting rights on usenet so
that he can feel superior because
he chose one way to spend his time while I celebrate the goodness of
capitalism.

Damn. You don't always get it wrong, do you? I do feel superior
to you.

It sure is. No argument.

goods
companies provide more useful
goods and services to society that have benefited more people than you
can ever care for. So who are you

We're all also free to criticise.

Are you one of those liberals who believes everybody

Hey. You were the one who asked me "how are you contributing
to society? sitting at home today eating hot dogs in front of
the tv doesn't count" So I told you how I was contributing to
society just like you asked.

And you're the one who said, "and before you hang me, I paid
enough TAXES this year to feed 25,000 people for the entire year,
3 squares a day" which certainly strikes me as a holier than thou
boast.

Or are you one of those capitalists who believes everybody
else should either do what you do or burn in hell?

As to my question, "So tell me again: what is it you do for
society? Pay your taxes?", you seem to be answering in the
affirmative.

I probably should mention that I own and have owned corporate
stocks.

yeah, but owning a meager $300,000 in your 401K hardly amounts to
helping uncle sam pay to build that road you drive on every day.

And what about your kids. When they grow up, who is going to pay for
their medicare and millions of dollars of other government services?
Us TAXPAYERS, that's who.
