That was the "shame" portion of this. While our actions are not much different from Sophie's, i.e. political activism, I would say that none of us are in danger of her fate in modern America. It makes what we are doing seem less important than what she did, and I'm sure that many bloggers would quit if they truly feared for their safety. I'm still trying to figure it out. I think the key is to figure out a way to stop paying taxes. If you really want to fight the beast, the first step is to stop feeding it. But in the corporate American atmosphere, I don't know of any way to extricate myself from the system enough to hide my income. Lewis,

I've got one question for everyone who reads this and thinks what the government is doing is wrong, "What are you planning on doing about it?" Because if you know, let me in on it because I don't have a clue. I would hope in 20 years when my children (or any future grandchildren) ask, "What did you do to prevent this?" I will be able to say something other than, "I wrote a blog."
