Individual income taxe is completely useless. It's difficult and time consuming and really doesn't seem to be helping pay for all the crazy things politicians come up with. What we really need is a National Sales Tax. Say, around 15%-20%, maybe even 25%. I be willing to pay 25% sales tax on everything and I think it would bolster our national coffers quickly and efficiently. As the tax system is now only certain people are paying the lion's share in. With a National Sales Tax the bigest spenders would pay the most taxes. There would be no possibility of 'tax shelters' and hiding your money so you pay less taxes. Also EVERYBODY would pay taxes if there was a National Sales Tax, citizens, non-citizens, terrorists, tourists, EVERYBODY. And the people who bought the most, would pay the most. It's a good idea.

Well, I doubt they would understand english, but if through some miracle they could, I'd show them history books and let them come to their own conclusions about humanity. But I would LOVE to go back and visit their world. To quote Star Trek: "Beam me up Scotty, there is no intelligent life down here."

Yeah of course. There is no possible way, in the entire universe, that this could be the only planet that life evolved on. And I think it's incredibly arrogant to thnk that we are the only intelligent life out there.
I don't think that we should fear them though, even if they are more technologicially advanced than we are. I really don't think that we are important enough to be worthy of the attentions of any more advanced race. Be it benign or hostile.
The only thing that annoys the crap out of me is that scientists are so damn stuck on trying to find carbon based life, like us. As possible as that kind of life may be, there are too many other different kinds of planets out there that life could have evolved on. Aside from the fact that even on our own planet in the most inhospitiable places, for us, life still finds a way.

Money, Bible, External Hard drive, Pets, Weapons.
Money: For obvious reasons.
Bible: In times of trouble it can help guide one's soul.
External HDD: It has all my artwork on it and that is important to me.
Pets: Again for obvious reasons, I can't exactly let them die.
Weapons: In situations of catastrophy people tend to revert back to their most base selves, and I want to be able to protect my stuff. However little I may have.

Yes. But it was just a local news anchor. I saw him in a bookstore, but I didn't want to bug him, so I didn't say anything. I'd have to say it really wasn't that exciting. But then he wasn't exactly a huge celebrity. If however, I did get the chance to meet certain celebrities I would take it. But it would have to be very specfic famous people.

Valentine's day is stupid. I mean, really, who thought that a celebration of love should be on the day of a massacre. That's just stupid. And if you don't believe me look here: http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/1191.html

A wolf on both counts. Mainly because I have a very strong sense of famiiial loyalty, and I really think that the world would be alot eaiser if we were all wolves. Then everybody would know their place and there wouldn't be so much ridiculous infighting. Unless of course some other pack encroached upon our territory. Also I really like wolves. ^_^

Anybody wanna fangirl with me?
Jan. 4th, 2010 05:47 pmSo I just sort of discovered Kevin Durand. And wow-wee! He is super hot, super sexy, and just the sweetest guy. He seems. I've never met him. If I did, I'd probably shit myself and die. Or babble like an idiot and make a complete ass of myself. Either one.
So, he's gonna be in Legion, playing my namesake Archangel Gabriel. Which is awesome in my oh so humble opinion. ^_^ Needless to say I am very excited for this movie. But I need people to fangirl with over this guy! My sister is no help, she doesn't think he's attractive.
So I send out a call on the interwebs!
FANS OF KEVIN DURAND!!! FANGIRL WITH ME!!!
Pictures, fan videos, movie clips ANYTHING! I need it alllll!!!!!!!!!!
oh yeah. Happy New Year Everybody! *throws confetti*
