Your complainin about TAX we py 17.5% on everything except the essentials of living, and then the import duties that are ridiculous, you know we pay 40% tax on LCD and plasma televisions and monitors that have a DVI connection.

That Brown peson is a horrible yet ncredibly efficeint man, all that on everything, tax especialy on ntertainment is wrong how dare they tax the great delights of the civilised world.

But i cant complain to much i know get a break from alot of taxes cause i am a student, Become a student everyone that uni card is the greatest thing you will ever own, Discounted everything and no council tax. See if you retire go back and become a student and wreap the tax breaks and discounts(well drink is the big one but other stuff as well, im lovin my 10% discount on books its a bokworms dream. Oh dear i am rambling i think its xause im tired not enoough sleep to much work to sleep.

New Knoxville, Ohio: population 850.

Town motto: "Don't blink, or you'll miss us!"

Home of the Neil Armstrong Airport, The Way International, one stoplight, three churches, a zillion cows, and many cornfields. Our school, grades K-12, is housed in one building featuring a stone inscription on the front: "Religion and Education Safeguard a Nation".

The New Knoxville Telephone Company (NKTelCo) is celebrating their 100th anniversary this year. The company was founded by a group of local businessmen to provide telephone service, and now is our cable tv provider and ISP as well. We have no village mail delivery, just got city water a few years ago, and have no pizza delivery, but we have a state of the art, cutting edge in technology, cable ISP. Priorities, you know!

hehehe....I'm from all over....currently am in Pell City, Alabama....true alabamian too...(is that a word?)

This is how it goes here...born in alabama...moved 3 times throughout alabama within 1st 6 months of my life....

Dad became coporate guy... moved to the following states...I think..

Alabama ( 4 different cities)
Indiana ( 2 different cities)
Kentucky (in an RV for 6 months [not fun])
Michigan
Tennessee
Georgia
Florida

So...yea I lived ALL over...here's what I like to tell people...

Look at a map of the U.S. and put your finger on michigan...
Move your finger straight down in a line and stop in alabama (or flordia if you started in the right place) ...

I've lived in every state you touch, and then some.

Aloha from Hawaii, United States - island of Oahu (home of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head)!

Right now we're sighing with relief because 2 hurricanes have fallen apart far offshore instead of hitting us. Hurricane season ends in November.

Ok, so technically its part of America, but only Texas and Virginia still have a "legal" right to secede from the USA...  :tazz:


Actually, that isn't entirely true (I am an avid Civil War buff).

Texas does not have the right to secede, any more than any other state does. Which is not to say that Texas, or any other state, can't secede if it has a mind to; after all, 11 states did back in 1861. Many modern Texans have the vague idea - as did most secessionists - that because Texas entered as a former republic, it retained the right to leave the Union if it saw fit. However, no such clause appears in the congressional act authorizing Texas to join the Union. Because it was once independent, because it at one time did secede from the Union, and because its ideology is far different from that of the rest of the US, Texas has always clung to the idea of a guaranteed right of secession as a mark of its specialness and as a source of reassurance in case all else fails.

One privelege Texas does reserve, and a condition that appears in the resolution approving its statehood, is the option to subdivide itself into as many as four states (a total of five). But Texas is more likely to leave the Union again than to fragment its identity and its land.

The four states who use the title "Commonwealth" (Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,and Virginia) also erroneously believe that that title gives them a Constitutional right to secede. It doesn't. It's a title and nothing more. There is no "legal" precedence for secession for any state.

Anyway, just thought I would stir the pot a bit and toss in some fact about something I am versed in. :)
