Things are really getting out of hand. Now, more than ever, there are even more signs of the end being thrown our way. There is a terrible smell in the air and the stench is starting to permeate everything..........the same way that piss and vomit odors waft about through the streets of the French Quarter in New Orleans..............oh......and Fell's Point in Baltimore.Not too long ago I had to deal with the IRS via some phone calls. For the most part, my experience was a fair one and everything was prompt and orderly. I remember thinking that it was supposed to be an utter nightmare.......a dread of biblical proportions...........but it was not. The people that I dealt with on the phone were very helpful, very friendly, and reasonable. That alone should send red flags up all over the country........hehehe.......right? Stuff like that should at the very least indicate that we may only have a few more years left on the planet. You have seen the assorted television commercials where some bonehead asks "Are you being hounded by the IRS?".....etc. ........etc. I personally see no need to use services such as those that claim to take on that "terrible ordeal" of dealing with the IRS on your behalf........even if that bonehead previously worked for the IRS. For some reason, there has been tons of propagandic nonsense spewed forth on various media outlets that seem to be designed to perpetrate fear on the general population. "They are coming after you!".............."Beware!"..............gee.....it is as if we are supposed to all cave in and need those meds that are advertised so that we can sleep occasionally. Somebody wants us all to be very afraid of things like the IRS..........there is nothing like a little pressure on the people to get them to conform. Personally, I believe that the IRS needs to be done away with completely. It is time for the Fair Tax, where everybody will not be subjected to any fear and simply pay taxes via one simple tax on purchases. No more dreadful filing or paperwork.......no more beaurocratic nonsense.......no more tricky shenanigans via exemptions or special deductions. The tax monster is so big that it is almost impossible for everyone to do their "patriotic duty" without getting something wrong. So anyway........each time that I had to call the IRS, I of course would be put on hold and have to wait while I listened to some music being pumped into the phone line. No big deal.......I like music...........BUT............something has to be said about the choice of music, particularly the choice of song being played as you wait. I don't know if it was intentional or not.........maybe it was.........maybe it was just one of those spooky coincidences that happen.........maybe a form of prophecy of things to come..................BUT......the song was the "Nutcracker Suite"!!!!!!!!!! Go Figure! Okay......so a fair amount of time has passed since those IRS calls and today I had to make a phone call to the Veterans Administration on behalf of my uncle. No problem, I don't mind waiting an unpredictable amount of time while on hold listening to music.............it ain't that close to Christmas so I am sure they won't be playing the Nutcracker Suite..........this time shouldn't be so bad. So I get on the phone and after pressing 1 for English.......hehehe......wait a second........"Press One For English" is English........right? If I only spoke Polish, how would I know what the heck I am supposed to do?..........oh well.........I get put on hold and lo and behold the music starts to play...............guess what song was being sent into my ear.................. "Ball Of Confusion"................unbelievable! Anyway........I had to wait for about fifteen minutes and I finally spoke to a human being................for about two minutes..........that's all. Problem solved.
Okay then.......here's yet another example of a sign of the end........ Recently, the State of Maryland passed a law which enabled local jurisdictions to implement the use of speed cameras. In the past two weeks, Baltimore County councilmorons got together and passed its own legislation authorizing the use of speed cameras in school zones. I recently blogged about this issue, so you can look back and see how I felt about it. Needless to say, the councilmorons didn't give one flip how the citizens felt about the issue and decided that this money grab was the way to go. That was bad enough........so now........because councilmorons have nothing better to do.............they are busy coming up with other ways to scam the people. As of October 1st, 2009.......a new law took effect here in Maryland which bans texting while driving. Wow.........I am supposed to feel safer now? Common sense ought to tell a person that one should not try to drive while texting. We all know how difficult it is to drive while shaving, eating lunch, spanking a kid, putting on makeup, picking noses, scratching genetalia, playing Sudoku, and having hip replacement surgery..............did we really need this new law regarding texting? Once again.......it is a money grab. Furthermore, it is like the seatbelt law.........except for one thing........how will a cop be able to know that you were texting and not using your cell phone's GPS software to guide you as you drive? See how bogus this stuff is? Once again.....it is a money grab. Now here is the kicker............it was recently decided that Baltimore City is going to recieve a crapload of stimulus funds from us taxpayers to purchase..............grab on to your laptop, folks................a BLACKBERRY for every police officer in Baltimore City! Imagine that..............go figure........scratch your heads...........see the sense in all of this crap............just think.......now every cop in Baltimore will be able to text and drive! Yep..........and they will be doing it at taxpayer expense! Would you pay $1500 per Blackberry? So how are things smelling for us now?
Well.....it smells like a big pile of fraud doesn't it?.........gee......look........what did we expect?........look who's at the top of the heap.![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_vi50rvl3CBuS9Rfnoe1lc-n8vftYcy2gTLdrIMHEPgSxu69pplWM9EuH7XZCHksWjhwtKnfMAH6W_qO2Tb14uXAg5JTsiAiuVYwIT5ogxy4qZRJx3XycQPY32R4JUpy4hF1Gneh4DY4F2A_iXBxP1a=s0-d)
