Service

My distinguished elder M. T. Cicero hints that he thinks the posts this week were a bit heated.

Out of respect for his feelings I offer today’s post.  However I must wonder if we don’t have the pot calling the kettle black with him feigning fear of Brutus’ knife after he had the allegedly traitorous Cataline conspirators strangled, thus putting Roman citizens to death without a trial.

Some would say that Brutus simply imposed term limits on Caesar, the “dictator for life”.

Enough.

Is the Internal Revenue Service a service?  The guys at Oxford define it here.  Some would say that common usage makes it so.  Once again, precedent does not make principal.

Try calling the IRS.  They do have 800 numbers after all.  Tell them that you don’t think you want their service this year.

Then make room for the auditors.

We all know what they are.

The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.
