I feel that this applies to what taxes one wishes to pay, or which wars one wishes to fight. Once fear is not the controlling factor, then one can better decide what is best for him/her self, and what is better for the nation, or the world for that matter.

Yes, your time in the prison system shows that there are many reasons to be frightened, yet, in your heart, what did you do to deserve prison time? You have mentioned that you were following the ideas of Robert Clarkson, that his work was based on the Constitution, however, I have not saw what you found to be wrong with his ideas, except that they resulted in you doing prison time. What in your heart caused you to think that Clarkson was correct in the first place, what change your heart, other than prison? The question is, in your heart, do you feel that this prison time was given on a just basis (i.e. who did you harm), or just to instill fear?

If there was no just basis for the govenment to send you to prison, then they did wrong, why let them change your heart? You should continue to do what your heart tells you, and not let fear, love, anger, retaliation, and vengeance, and retribution, change what you know to be true.

I my view, you have given better responses over time. Please, keep it up.

Quick response...I'm too busy today to stay here long.

But I never did time. I copped out to get 6 mos home incarce, 3 yrs probation, 180 hours community service and interest and penalties on the original tax debts (which I'm still paying).

But the episode was still fairly traumatic as I lost my business, house and had to pay a small fortune in attorneys fees to get me out of the whole mess.

But I kep my butt out of the can, rebuilt my business and my wife never left me and we have two beautiful daughters who are growing up way too fast and whom I never would have been able to be away from for a minute had i gone down in flames.

That's it for now, catch up w/ya later,

I'll post more later. gotta go.
