Law is mechanism we've chosen to use to maintain the infrastructure that allows us all life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Maintaining and enforcing the law needs a revenue mechanism. Taxes are the revenue mechanism. Thus taxes are service. Thus paying them is the law. To answer your earlier question: enforcing the law is service, but abiding by the law is a requirement of citizenship as agreed to by the citizen since, if you don't like the law, there's a mechanism in place for you to change it. The alternative is living in tress and throwing poop at each other. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:290762 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
