Thanks, very compelling. I have read “One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich” which also is a first hand account of the gulag. Ivan's redemption is a strong work ethic and parallels you grandfather's account in many ways.

Are we talking about the same Joe Arpaio I talked to this morning? You get a life, man!

BTW, this is the third (I'm assuming you can count) Federal investigation Joe for being a racist. Race-baiting is so overrated. Eric Holder hasn't learned and he is still calling our good Sheriff a racist. I've probably have been called a racist more times than you have existed in this world, times ten! It doesn't work and yet lefties keep trying. I know how it works, someone has no facts so they look around to find the most damming thing they can, they pick it up and throw it. In this case, unless you have been living under a rock all your life, racism is a pretty damming thing. There is a law for that, Godwin's law. Google it! Under Godwin's law, that makes the Feds the loser.

So, what are YOU doing about it? Armchair warrior? Give me a break!

Dear Mr. Powell ,

As the say in the great State of Texas “The only things in the center of the road is a yellow line and dead armadillos.”

I'm confused. The only thing that came to mind for me was Pavlov's Dog.

Subject: Taxes, some thoughts

1. Tax day is April 15, almost opposite of election day. My solution is to move tax day to where it is 10 days before election day, on election years (of course) or the same calendar date on off years. My reasoning is if voters still have the insult of Uncle Sam stealing from them they might vote with a little common scene.

2. Do not allow the Feds to take funds directly out on a persons paycheck. Instead, have the government send a bill to the taxpayer each month and have that taxpayer write a check.

3. One on my favorites. Allow the Feds to tax to their hearts content but give the responsibility of collecting ALL revenues to the Several States.

4. The flat tax. It is a very good idea but it needs to be a Constitutional Amendment, our legislators don't obey their own rules and barely stay within the bounds of the Constitution as it is. One more option, allow Congress to raise and lower the tax rate; two thirds vote House and Senate to raise the rate and a simple majority to lower the rate.

Taxes can be fun. I'm assuming of course that you have read the Federalist Papers 30 thru 36.

Government is not reason; it is not eloquent;
it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant
and a fearful master.

What is with these people? Do they not understand that if life was "fair" the horse would ride half the time.
