Don, you've posed a thought here that I've never heard of or considered
before:
>The state interferes with true altruism in that it forces >people,
sometimes against their will, to do *good* things, >thereby robbing people
of the good feelings they would get >by performing the same action of their
own free will.
I'll still be paying my taxes for all those things that benefit me and
others, but this is worth pondering.
And I wanted to let you know I've appreciated your participation in the
political threads here. It's great to have a "third" view, so to speak, put
out there.
Kakki, off for Tampa
