| the government can legaly tax you on illegal substances? what?
they really can... if you legally pay the tax.
Ten years after it went on the books, a little-known law requiring
marijuana dealers to pay taxes up front on pot sales has had an impact
as fleeting as, well, a puff of smoke.
As far as state officials can tell, not a single dealer has purchased
the required stamps. Instead, the stamps have created a market and a
demand among collectors who've been scooping them up for display.
"I have South Carolina's current stamps and a copy of their original,"
said Milwaukee, Wis., defense attorney Robert Henak, who collects
state drug stamps from around the country as a hobby to point out what
he called the absurdity of drug tax laws.
Henak isn't alone. Of the 433 pot stamps sold by the state since 1994,
the overwhelming majority were bought as novelties and nothing more,
according to the South Carolina Department of Revenue. Today, drug tax
stamps are more likely to be seen at trade shows than on a dime bag.
...
now tell me that isnt rediculous... if you paid the tax your punishment
is the exact same is it not? now im as patriotic as the next guy and i
have no problem with paying twice as much for weed to help uncle sam
fight a war for overpriced oil but if its still illegal, whats the
point?

| "Russia’s Biggest Spammer Brutally Murdered in Apartment
Created: 25.07.2005 13:14 MSK (GMT +3), Updated: 14:24 MSK
MosNews
Vardan Kushnir, notorious for sending spam to each and every citizen of
Russia who appeared to have an e-mail, was found dead in his Moscow
apartment on Sunday, Interfax reported Monday. He died after suffering
repeated blows to the head.
Kushnir, 35, headed the English learning centers the Center for
American English, the New York English Centre and the Centre for Spoken
English, all known to have aggressive Internet advertising policies in
which millions of e-mails were sent every day.
In the past angry Internet users have targeted the American English
centre by publishing the Center’s telephone numbers anywhere on the Web
to provoke telephone calls. The Center’s telephone was advertised as a
contact number for cheap sex services, or bargain real estate sales.
Another attack involved hundreds of people making phone calls to the
American English Center and sending it numerous e-mails back, but
Vardan Kushnir remained sure of his right to spam, saying it was what
e-mails were for.
Under Russian law, spamming is not considered illegal, although
lawmakers are working on legal projects that could protect Russian
Internet users like they do in Europe and the U.S."

Subject: French Terror Alert
From Reuters,
French President Jacques Chirac has officially raised the French terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide".
There are only two higher levels in France - they are "Surrender" and "Collaborate".
The rise was precipitated by a recent fire which destroyed France's white flag factory - effectively crippling their military.
