And if a man has not discovered something that he will die for, he is not fit to live. If an individual at thirty years has not found some great principle, some great ideal that he will die for, he is already dead. If he is challenged to take a stand but he refuses because he is afraid-afraid that his home will be bombed, afraid that he may be shot, afraid that he may lose his job-he may live until it is eighty, but he is just as dead as thirty as he is at eighty and the cessation of breathing in the life is merely the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit.

I once had an older man say to me, "Find something you are willing to die for. It is then that you begin to live." Good advice.

Was that the MLK quote about having a purpose in life?

I live over in Canterbury and I pay about 3100 in taxes. I have a samall ranch on 5 acres. I feel my taxes are high, though in the town my children go to school, my road is maintained, basically I get something for what I pay for, I know the property tax is unfair and unconstitutional but at my town meetings and school meetings I have the oppurtunitunty for my voice to be heard. So I'm getting someting, would I like more? YES. As far as paying  Federal taxes? I get over 2,000 american fatalities, over 30,000 Iragi civilian fatalities and a world that hates America, (America holds some of the kindest and genereous people in the World), and a president who is the worst public speaker in the history of mankind . I think the right approach for me would be to help support someone who is not paying taxes. I would be willing to help stand up for some one who is being thrown off their property, etc. as for me, with a beautiful wife  and two young children the battle would not be on the ground I own, but the ground where others stand. There is a old fire in my spirit that burns deep to quench the taste of freedom for the good people of New Hampshire, where my family has lived for generations!

       It is not fair because some one who lives in a trailer only pays 400 dollars a year for property taxes and gets the same services as I do and I pay 3100( nothing against people who live in trailers ;)). A property tax takes an assessed value of your property and then a tax percentage( which all property owners have) is applied to that amount. If jonh doe buys a house next to mine and it is essentially the same house and he pays 1 million dollars for it, my house will be assessed at the same value he paid for it. It may not be woth 1 million dollars but that is the "fair" market value. The view tax on my property: say I have a great view of kearsarge MTN, I do not own the property I look at, If it is foggy out I cannot see it, in the fall when the leaves are on the trees my view of the mountain is obstructed, but I still pay extra on my taxes because The system is flawed and unfair. Some one who lives in an apartment or condo pays no taxes excpet when they register there vehicle, and don't tell me the landlord pays it because that is rubbish.

unconstitutional?
                        I am not a scholar on the interpertation of the Constitution, though as I see it any matter that is unfair, and strikes at my basic freedoms, liberties, and rights is unconstititional. paying an unfair tax is therefore unconstitional. There was a recent court case in Portsmouth N.H. where the tax was in fact declared unconstitutional. ;)
