That often seems to be the real resentment of taxes by glibrtarians & general fascists, that the difficulty in filling out forms & following instructions is an affront to them. If only they didn't have to pay an "expert" to do them, wah wah. I can't imagine that single & childless Megan's would be that difficult, unless of course she's trying to cheat.M.

I guess all those sub-prime mortages might have hurt the company, but who could have seen that coming? Certainly not an economics journalist. Megan also mentions that oil is used for things besides gasoline, and that might just become a problem in the future.<BR/><BR/>She also takes another swipe at Kathy G, something I can see happening often in the future. I predict name-calling and tears.Susan of Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076915322771385454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048715035467766557.post-53861637429580707722008-04-30T07:57:00.000-04:002008-04-30T07:57:00.000-04:00as one's albedo is a sort of reflectivity index, w...<I>as one's albedo is a sort of reflectivity index, would yours not make things even warmer?</I><BR/><BR/>Perhaps she means she'll float out into space and reflect the sun's rays before they reach earth, thus cooling the planet by those crucial few degrees?<BR/><BR/>Or maybe she's just a crappy writer.
