Torture was only mentioned in the context of l'affaire de Vincent Foster, not in the Enron case, so your hypo is inapposite. But again, I deeply appreciate your thoughtful contributions and look forward to our future correspondences.

so when you said "I can't wait til those guys are prison rec yard love dolls." you envisioned consensual sex?

Is this a special fantasy you have?

I thought that the Keller / Beecher storyline was kinda sweet. And Keller was hot and got naked a lot. And I once had an erotic dream about Ryan O'Riley.

Adebisi did scare the crap out of me, though. And Schilinger was a bastard. And whatsihisname deserved to have his penis bitten off.

So I guess Oz taught me that prison love can happen (especially if one of the murdering bastards is hot, hot, hot), but ultimately prison is a scary place that I'd rather not be.

keep in mind that this is all without support from Clinton's contrived tech bubble.

For debate: Clinton's creation of a false economy through the tech bubble cost middle class investors far more of their savings than anything done by Skilling and Lay.

Dadadadadadada.

so you think it's bad despite this? Maybe because, what, the comparison period is bullshit? I'm confused.

And, since I'm ketchupping, " I, (daughter’s name)’s father, choose before God to cover my daughter" -- in horse breeding, aren't stallions said to cover mares? Why are they using "cover" here? THAT creeps me out.

You seem truly obssessed with all things incestuous and preternaturally sexual. Is there something about your past you are trying to hint at?

(I won't even get into the bestiality aspect.)

It is not just for picnics . . .

Headquarters, Grand Army of the Republic
Washington, D.C., May 5, 1868

I. The 30th day of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet churchyard in the land. In this observance no form or ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit.

We are organized, comrades, as our regulations tell us, for the purpose, among other things, "of preserving and strengthening those kind and fraternal feelings which have bound together the soldiers, sailors, and marines who united to suppress the late rebellion." What can aid more to assure this result than by cherishing tenderly the memory of our heroic dead, who made their breasts a barricade between our country and its foe? Their soldier lives were the reveille of freedom to a race in chains, and their death a tattoo of rebellious tyranny in arms. We should guard their graves with sacred vigilance. All that the consecrated wealth and taste of the Nation can add to their adornment and security is but a fitting tribute to the memory of her slain defenders. Let no wanton foot tread rudely on such hallowed grounds. Let pleasant paths invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and found mourners. Let no vandalism of avarice or neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten, as a people, the cost of free and undivided republic.

If other eyes grow dull and other hands slack, and other hearts cold in the solemn trust, ours shall keep it well as long as the light and warmth of life remain in us.

Let us, then, at the time appointed, gather around their sacred remains and garland the passionless mounds above them with choicest flowers of springtime; let us raise above them the dear old flag they saved from dishonor; let us in this solemn presence renew our pledges to aid and assist those whom they have left among us as sacred charges upon the Nation's gratitude,--the soldier's and sailor's widow and orphan.

II. It is the purpose of the Commander-in-Chief to inaugurate this observance with the hope it will be kept up from year to year, while a survivor of the war remains to honor the memory of his departed comrades. He earnestly desires the public press to call attention to this Order, and lend its friendly aid in bringing it to the notice of comrades in all parts of the country in time for simultaneous compliance therewith.

III. Department commanders will use every effort to make this order effective.

By command of:
JOHN A. LOGAN,
Commander-in-Chief.

The reason that so many in Congress oppose the idea is exactly the reason pointed out in the article you link to: AMT taxes capital gains and dividends the same way as it taxes wages and business income.

The people creaming the loudest for a "flat" tax really want a tax on every kind of income but theirs.

As does anyone creaming for any change.

AMT plus unlimited Roth IRAs. How about that? (i.e., you pay income tax rates on dividends and k-gains, but only when you withdraw the money from the IRA.
