Agreed with his right to be pissed off up until the minute the plane hit the building.

1. Everybody has the right to be pissed off at the IRS, the greedy

corporations, but no one has the right to fly into a building and hurt people or destroy property.

2. But somehow its okay for IRS and corporations to hurt people

and destroy property, because they do it "legally".

3. I'm not sure that you can infer one from the other.

You've made a leap there.

5. Have I? I don't think so, since the reason the guy went "postal"

is because of the IRS doing said actions to him, not once but numerous times, in spite of his trying to resolve things the "right" ways.

4. No it isn't but IRS is not afraid of me and I am afraid of them

so while they destroy property and lives at will and do it legally, I will be a good citizen and keep paying them to do it so I don't get in trouble or go batshit crazy like Stark did.

7. And how sad it is that you have to be afraid of them. You've made my point

beautifully, thank you.

6. It is?

9. Do you know a way to stop them? I sure haven't seen one.

8. You were late to the game

I agreed with his right to be pissed off up until the minute he torched his house.

10. Well, at least he realized GW Bush was a "puppet president"

so his insanity wasn't just directed at the current administration.
