Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

On the bright side, I'm heading home to watch DVDs: Firefly, and perhaps Farscape if the Postal Service was kind.
On re-reading, that sounds kind of pathetic. But in a good way, so I'm going with it.

It sounds like in a good way to me, lib.
I have Mexican food, Firefly is on tv and I am content.
Though I do need a new boyfriend soon. I need a huge, worn out tshirt.

Who was talking about Trader Joe's pumpkin butter? Because it led me to buy some, and I'm eating it on some toast and it is OMGSOGOOD.

So really, a boyfriend is just a big-shirt supplier for you?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I called DH shortly after I got home. He said he'd call in 10 min. about an hour and a half a go. . Poor thing. these work confrences ( put on by his co) end up being much more work than they are supposed to be. Sadly, he was suposed to be kidnapped by ND tonight. I am guessing that isn't going to happen.
tonight's plans - mex food ( from tj's - I love their fresh tamales) too much tv, possibley too much wine, and a too late bed time. This will bother my cat

Actually flat tax does not even make things less complicated. Deductions are what makes things complicated. And you can eliminate deductions in a gradudated system just fine.
There is a limit of course to eliminating deductions. Some peole have complicated finances, and their deductions will be complicated too. I mean if you run a business, in an income tax you pay taxes on profits which is revenue minus expenses. And both have to be listed and both have to be defined. No way a business or corporate income tax can be simple. Individual - probably could be made simple for most people. But not for most rich people; generally if you are rich you get your income from a lot if different sources - you finances are complicated so your taxes will be too.
Also at the end of the day, I would rather have the tax system fairer rather than simpler. Not the same thing - and the two are not always compatible.
On edit - reference to flat tax discussion up thread - no buried lead, just a reply to something said a while back.
