Abigal,

You may have lost the fight against the evil that had plagued you for such a long time, but now you are with people that can help and heal any wounds that you may have.  I know that there were open loving arms waiting for you when you passed to the other side.  You need to know that you still have many that love you here on earth, and that you will still from time to time be in our prayers.

Life does not end, but changes into an opprotunity to right the wrongs that had happened in life.  Jesus Christ is your Savior, never forget that he is evermore at you side even through death.  Remember that the Atonement is real for the living as it is for the dead.  There is still hope to repent of all things that may have complicated your life.

You died today early this morning from a horrific diesease, anixoria.   This is a deisease that has effected many, yet until now had not been in the conscience of you family.   There are simply things in life that cannot be explained, maybe they should not be, one can see what we as human beings do with infromation, information that is meant to help we manipulate it, or I should say mutilate the true meaning behind the information given us. We as a family now know of the deadly conscequences of anirexia, what will we do with it?  That is up to those that you have left behind.

I love you, and I will miss being with you,

Your older brother/cousin.  May you open your arms to me when I am ready to leave this exsistance.

Yours T.j.

If one looks at what is happening with regard to the Euro, one can see that there is a cultural casum of how to approach the bankruptcy problems.   Europe has had the pick of the tourist/goods platter; however no more.  Terrorism has spread to all countries, and has effected the flow tourist and of goods to those countries.

Goods in the case of Europe is largely the tourist trades and imported goods, the tourists are afraid to visit the many divers countries under the Euro currency.  This obviously effects the bottom line for the countries to collect travel taxes, that were so plentiful until now.  Also many of these countries rely on exporting their goods to the world, and the dependence of  importing goods has been disproportionate for some time now.

All this said, gas prices is also a factor that has effected the overall world wide trade.  It seems that there is a perfect storm that has developed against Europe and the Euro.  What will the leaders of these countries come up with?  They would be the only ones that would  know.

The Euro will continue to struggle because there are so many different cultures at the decision table, I remember when I lived in Switzerland that in order to change a law or at least start the process to change a law required only 100 signatures from its citizens. Ironically this was almost full proof for the government and the laws to stay the same.  Try to get 100 Swiss to think the same is almost impossible, now try to do the same task with 27 different countries, with extremely diverse cultures.

Good luck Euro you are going to need it…..

The definition of insanity is doing the same process yet expeting different results from that process.  I do not understand the politicains of this day and age.  Do they not learn from each other.  Mr Cain has made it very easy for the media to unleash themselves with regard to his extra corricular activity.

Cain unfortuatly is not an annomoloy in the political world with infedelity.  There is not a worse batrale of trust than “cheating” on a spouse.  As a leader you are to be trustworthy; why would one cheat on someone that has put so much trust in them.   This is a sign of a major flaw within the individual that cheats. This type of behavior permiates a persons life, one cannot simply shut these types of flaws off.

This is what I have found from youtube on Cain.

Tell me how you feel about Cain.

I know what you all are thinking by the titile of this blog, that maybe I have fallen off of the deep end.  I really have not, it’s not so much the taxes that bother people, I beleive it is how much tax is taken, and how those taxes taken are used, that get under the skin of the tax payer.  Today I reviewed a panel disscussion in Washignton about internet and small business taxes.

The whole premiss of the internet tax has to do with interstate sales tax, of course with regard to interstate sales and trade, the federal government will be in charge of such taxation laws.  This in itself can confilude the issue, for we all know that the fed sometimes are not the most effecient with regard to due process. However the greater issue is that the states are so different with their tax laws to try to understand them, and therefore inforce them on internet sales are almost impossible.

Emagine tring to solve a single states tax code with regard to sales tax.  This would be difficult for the avarage sole propritership (owner) to figure out.  Now let’s say that the owner wished to sale his widget to all of the 50 states over the internet.  How would this owner be able to stay compliant with the tax laws of all 50 states?  Impossible is the word that would best describe the issue of state sales tax in the internet world.

I have posted a forum from October with this blog, it is long, but if you have the time one should watch and see the delmas that face the taxation of small businesses in the digital age.

Let me know how you feel about taxes, and if the fed is doing a good job with the inforcement of taxation.
