Shock and Awe Poetry. Rapid dominance. Blitzkrieg. Total and mass destruction. Collateral chaos. Collateral damage. Permanent. Perpetual. A. Human. B. Taxpayer. C. Soft-target. D. All of the above. ~~~ Inside the Desert Storm Mortuary Mar 26, 1991 The insanity, the illusions never end. Calm clerks stuff Permaglo-packed bodies into crisp uniforms. Medals, ribbons and rank insignia are impeccably aligned across a soldier's lifeless chest. I visit each of the six naked bodies scattered across the tile floor. Rigor mortis has captured their last agonizing poses. In a far corner, a young Marine arches his neck back and draws his mouth wide, his last second must have been a terrifying scream. The last expression of the shrouded lump to his right will always be a mystery. "They're still looking for his head," a mortuary clerk whispers to me. ~snip~ "Here the dead are fingerprinted," The Inspector, tells me, pointing to a small crowd of bored FBI agents. The fingerprints, dental x-rays, DNA samples and blood types are all used to positively identify the dead. That is logical, but why x-ray the entire body? I ask my tour guide. "Unexploded ordnances," he says grimly. I imagine an unsuspecting embalmer blown sky-high after boring into a hand grenade. Other files are here in the attic. 1.27.2003
Neil W. Van Dyke. This man, who is also doing some other very creative work, takes photos of daily life on the landmass known as Boston and surrounding areas. Surf his archives and click on the bold yellow links. Here is one of The Taxpayers' Bridge. [April 2002]: Went out in the foggy wee hours this morning in search of a train yard to photograph, and found The Taxpayers' Bridge (photo at 4:31am). S10's battery gave out right after that shot, as I was about to lengthen the tripod legs and move back along the ledge another five feet to try to get the full reflection of the first tower. Not planning on returning too soon to that vista, as I don't want to make the dark-colored Crown Victoria nervous... 1.26.2003
Ashleigh Banfield Update - Recording History. Covering hot spots around the globe as a television news correspondent loses its glamour when there are bullets flying and rockets exploding. Ashleigh Banfield has experienced it all. She calls it "recording history." And she's getting ready to return for more. "The agent in the tank fired his M-60 superautomatic weapon and killed the Palestinian taxpayer. Banfield was just inches from the weapon, which she called the most deafening sound she ever heard. Although a Canadian taxpayer, Banfield said she was always considered an American taxpayer everywhere she went. She's used to covering her head, like other Middle Eastern women, and she interviewed the defacto agent for the Palestinian taxpayers - Yasser Arafat during dinner. 'He was feeding me,' Banfield said. 'He would put things on my plate for me to try, and all I could think was: 'I'm eating boiled egg slices with the defacto agent for the Palestinian taxpayers.' ' " 1.25.2003

MLK Day: Reflecting On Avoiding Perverted Business Transactions. Martin Luther King would be 74 years old today. I would think that Martin Luther King would want us to forgive our enemies - to forgive those who violate the personal freedoms of others. Does it help if one just views freedom-violators as nothing more than those who carry out perverted forms of business transactions? Business, Business, Business, Business, Business. It seems like Martin Luther King 'connected the dots': "...the triple evils of racism, economic exploitation, and militerism..." How about "the perverted business transactions referred to as racism, economic exploitation, and militerism"? It seems like Martin Luther King 'connected the dots'. Didn't he and others create their own economies and organize boycotts? One of the main focuses of The Taxpayers' Bridge - (the main inspiration for The Taxpayers' Bridge is the Frederick Mann website BuildFreedom.com) - is what we call the "Economic Means To Freedom." We emphasize "building freedom" as opposed to "fighting tyranny" or "fighting for freedom." An important principle is that the power of tyrants depends on the support they receive from their victims. Real free-enterprise business can be effectively used as a means to withdraw support from tyrants. By withdrawing support from tyrants (freedom-violators), you effectively shift power to yourself and your friends. 1.19.2003
Taxpayers' Tunnel Opens. With signs saying ''Seattle or Bust'' and ''I-90 4-ever'' affixed to their beat-up beige 1986 Audi, taxpayers Ravi and Stefan buckled themselves in at 4:30 p.m. yesterday preparing to make history. Before them lay The Taxpayers' Tunnel linking Logan International Airport to the Massachusetts Turnpike, whose westbound lanes were cleared of orange construction barrels and opened to the taxpayers some 12 years after the start of the Big Dig. ![]() The celebration of The Taxpayers' Tunnel to Logan Airport, which cost US taxpayers a whopping 6,500,000,000 Federal Reserve Note currency units and which also included bunting, a brass band, and a veritable who's who of local agents of the Massachusetts taxpayers, also marked the completion of Interstate 90's 3,000-plus-mile route from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic. Taxpayers Ravi and Stefan, two self-professed transportation "pioneers" who had circled The Taxpayers Tunnel for four hours yesterday hoping to be the first in line, were leading the charge. "You did a great job with this," taxpayer Stefan said to the lead agent, who came over to wish the two men a safe trip. "See you at The Taxpayers' Bridge." The reality sank in when a US agent strode to the rostrum and pronounced dramatically, "I-90 is now complete" - forty-eight years after it started. Then, as dozens of hard-hatted construction workers and agents applauded in the cold, Ravi*, Stefan*, and taxpayer friend Steven*, who sat in the back seat filming the inaugural journey with a camcorder, headed into The Taxpayers' Tunnel, which is expected to ease congestion on the Central Artery, the Southeast Expressway, and Interstate 90. "Here we are, Thelma and Louise!"** hollered taxpayer Ravi as they passed under the glow of its brilliant lights. A few minutes later, having passed under Fort Point Channel, the Audi went from The Taxpayers' Tunnel to daylight again and joined other westbound Mass. Pike drivers. "That's it! That's it!" announced Stefan, throwing up his hands. "This is one small push of the accelerator,'' said taxpayer ravi, the driver, "and one giant push of the pedal to the metal!"** The wait begins for the opening of The Taxpayers Bridge, which could be open in six weeks, the lead agent said. "Imagine all the years we're going to live here on this landmass called Boston and pay taxes to the agents," said a proud taxpayer Stefan, who, with taxpayer Ravi, were the first, according to the lead agent, to cross the Big Dig's Leverett Circle Connector in 1999. "We can always say we were the first taxpayers' through this." "I love it," said taxpayer and 27-year veteran T driver George, who drove the first bus through the new Taxpayers' Tunnel system. "It's definitely nice." *Ed. Note - It will be extra, extra cool if one or more of these taxpayers have blogs. I would be surprised if one of them did not have a website. **Ed. Note - Great sound bites. 1.16.2003
Boston Won't Be Hub Of Fun For Conventioneers. ...so perhaps all of the "attactractions" present on the landmass called Boston won't be too impressive to the "DNC wanna be agents". But there's one attraction that easily trumps New York (site of the Rebuplican wanna be agents' convention): The Big Dig. I know it sounds like fantasy, but by summer of 2004, much of it will be open - The Taxpayers' Bridge will glow blue every night. I'm anticipating a big trade in tour buses that start on the landmass called Quincy, go through all the tunnels, over The Taxpayers' Bridge and eventually finish up by the Home Depot on the landmass called Somerville. But it's not the tour itself that will amaze the wannabe agents. Rather it is this: The Big Dig was paid for by and built by the US taxpayers. I can hear the Democratic wanna be agents now: "What a great idea! Take Federal Reserve Note currency units from US taxpayers and give it to agents they don't know, have no connection to, and don't care about ... Now that's why I became a Plusidiot." 1.14.2003
Name That Bridge. Best to just refer to it as the The Taxpayers' Bridge - "In Honor Of The Taxpayers Who Funded It And Built It." It is cleaner that way - less bickering. And, more empowering. Lenny, I think, would like it that way. 1.11.2003
