The reason I said to substitute the word is because people seem to be fine with the government doing things that are illegal for everyone else. That is insane. They should be beholden to the same laws I am. If I can't use the threat of force to take someone's money than neither should they. Roads; schools; hospitals; can all be privatized. I pay for roads I will never use every pay day; have never called the police in my life; have never been to a hospital since I started paying taxes; I pay 20-37% of my pay cheque for services I get nothing out of. I pay so people who give nothing back to the system can abuse it and use it all.

Well I can't argue with that one. Then again female athletes seem to have a lot more balls than they used to.
