No business pays taxes. In fact when it's all said and done, no successful business really pays for anything. Everything is paid for by the consumer.

Let's say that the material and labor to make a shoe costs $5. Yes the cobbler has to pay that up front but when he sells the shoe he gets reimbursed by the purchaser. If he made a good shoe he can get reimbursed more than it cost him to make the shoe which allows him to use the excess money to buy food.

The cobbler knows he needs $100/wk to eat. He also knows he can sell 5 pairs of shoes each week. Therefore he charges a mark up of $20 making the total $25/shoe.

Now, if the government decides to tax the cobbler $2/shoe, will the cobbler just try to get buy on $90/wk for food? No, instead he just raises his prices to $27/shoe and his customers pay for his taxes as well.

So instead of having high prices and high taxes, why not have low prices and no taxes?

The Americans and Russians at the height of the arms race realized that if they continued in the usual manner they were going to blow up the whole world. One day they sat down and decided to settle the whole dispute with one dog fight. They would have five years to breed the best fighting dog in the world and whichever side's dog won would be entitled to dominate the world.

The Russians found the biggest, meanest Doberman and Rottweiler female dogs in the world and bred them with the biggest, meanest Siberian wolves. They selected only the biggest and strongest puppy from each litter, and removed his siblings, which gave him all the milk. After five years they came up with the biggest, meanest dog the world had ever
seen. Its cage needed steel bars that were five inches thick and nobody could get near it.

When the day came for the dog fight, the Americans showed up with a strange animal. It was a nine foot long Dachshund. Everyone felt sorry for the Americans because they knew there was no way that this dog could possibly last 10 seconds with the Russian dog.

When the cages were opened up, the Dachshund came out of its cage and slowly waddled over towards the Russian dog. The Russian dog snarled and leaped out of its cage and
charged the American dachshund. But, when it got close enough to bite the Dachshund's neck, the Dachshund opened its mouth and consumed the Russian dog in one bite.

There was nothing left at all of the Russian dog.

The Russians came up to the Americans shaking their heads in disbelief. "We don't understand how this could have happened. We had our best people working for five years with the meanest Doberman and Rottweiler female dogs in the world and the biggest, meanest Siberian wolves."

"That's nothing", an American replied. "We had our best plastic surgeons working for five years to make an alligator look like a Dachshund."

The reason I'm asking you all this is because, there are fake witches and wiccan pretenders out there(Also called Fluffy) who think the religion is about this, but it's not. For example.

They think that you can gain hollywood like superpowers and turn people into frogs and stuff.

Iam a witch, i can do what I want and I'm much stronger that you guys.

They use Wicca and Witch interchangebly. (I know thats what piss you guys off the most.)

Stuff like that. Along with what people don't understand, what do people THINK they understand?

The Reason I'm asking this is because there are things about wicca that I think I understand but I don't. So when I'm out on my own one day, being in pagan festivals and all that, I don't have to make myself look stupid. I could be a fluffy. Not the realt witch I want to be.

My wife and I were talking about this the other night. We know some couples who are happy like us. We know some couples who are miserable. We know a lot of couples who are somewhere in between.

Sometimes it was the husbands who were the problem. Sometimes it was the wives. Sometimes they just got married too young.

Here are the reasons we've found:

1) Men marrying women because of their sex appeal, not because of who they are (I have friends who have admitted as much).
2) Women marrying men because of their earning potential, not because of who they are (My wife has friends who have admitted as much).
3) Couples getting married immediately after graduation, rather than learning to live on their own and discovering themselves.
4) Couples getting married "because it seemed like it was time to get married."
5) Couples getting married out of sheer inertia, 2-3 years into a relationship.

Any others you can think of?

My son is 2 1/2 and here lately he has been the biggest brat throwing fits when he don't get his way about what he wants. He is an only child. I have tried everything to try to get him to realize that this behavior is not ok, but nothing works. At first I was spanking his butt, but that didn't work, all that did was made me feel mean, so i quit doing that. Then I put him in time out, but that's not working either. We just got back from running errands and he threw a fit cause he didn't want to go inside to put stuff away. He wanted to stay out and play. So, now he is in his crib crying at me to get out. I'm so frustrated, I don't know what else to try with him. Any ideas?

I am not sure if someone had just died or had talked abt dying. Anyway, I remember thinking, when you die, that's it, there is NOTHING. Then I remember having this thought, I am going to die at 54. It seemed so clear.

Do you all think this will really happen? Will I die when I'm 54 and then there will be nothing? Do you believe in premonitions? Is this what that was?

BTW, I'm 47 so this means I have 7 yrs left.
