Geez, it's a game, not real life (and the deaths-per-second ratio doesn't
come close to Doom or Quake, particularly as the opposing pilots normally
manage to eject). I'm not advocating that people go out and blow up the
IRS, I just thought it was amusing that in these flag-waving
government-is-god days someone had released a game where the correct
response to the threat of an IRS audit was to go to war against them.
