Our Country's Karma is in the toilet
Advertisements [?]
We can say what we want about our politics and our liberalism, but unless you're writing from JAIL, then you're Blowing Smoke.

Ask any Buddhist, or Hindu, or REAL Christian for that matter: if you pay ONE PENNY of tax to a government that supports:

Aggressive War
Torture
Fraud
Lies
ETCETERA

Then Karma/Dharma holds YOU personally responsible for the actions of that government.

If you paid a couple of bucks to the Fed this week (and who didn't?), then YOU bought a bullet.
If you paid your income taxes last year (and who didn't?), then you bought a rifle, 1000 rounds of ammo and a dozen grenades.

I can't go to jail, and I can't support this government with my taxes one minute longer than absolutely necessary and still sleep at night.

I continue frantically with my Canadian Immigration plans, and I don't feel one iota of "You are running away" guilt. I'm sacrificing my livelihood and my
legacy to do this, and it still isn't atonement enough for my sins.

May the gods have mercy on the land; I wouldn't.
