Some time back on this list there was a article about the desire of the
EcoNazi's to impose a tax on food relative to how "high" it is on the food
chain. I just skimmed it feeling it was..........well....I didn't read it
close.

I did, however, catch the idea of the tax.

At another time Greg Burch's excellent post in reference to misrepresentation
of chinese culture kinda stuck sideways in my head.

Soooooooooooo....I've got an idear for 'nothere tax.......it oughta go over
BIG......for one thing no politician has ever seen a tax he didn't like....so
no problem getting it passed.......and for another the revenues should be
HUGE.

Tax lying.

Verifieable lying I mean......misrepresentation.

Take movies for example......where they show "spaceships" swoooooooping thru
this graceful curves like swallows near capastrano.......that's a
misrepresentation of the laws of orbital mechanics or something.......a
lie.......tax it.

This tax should be calculated according to how many people are affected and
to what degree. The above mentioned example poisons the minds of countless
children for the rest of their lives......so it should be taxed BIG...

Clinton lying about whatever it was he lied about.......naw.......people
EXPECT politicians to lie....they don't beleive em anyway......it affects
lots less people.....so tax them at a lower rate.....
