W hile it's still too cool in southern Wisconsin to get excited about the weather, the morning sunlight streaming across my lawn is enough.  A week of travel on a sour stomach and poor weather in north Texas, makes me appreciate the moment all the more.  On a heavier note... I recently discovered a quote by John Stossel that captured my attention.  I don't know much about Stossel, other than he's a Libertarian .  I've seen a few of his topical reports on television and that's about it, but his pithy take on the nature of taxation is interesting.  Mr. Stossel says.... "Politicians, bureaucrats and the people they 'rescue' get money through force — taxation.   Don't think taxation is force? Try not paying, and see what happens."
