Journal Journal: First week without digital contrabande

It's the 10th day now, of the dutch censurship. A foreign website is blocked, by both DNS and IP. And despite earlier discussions that mostly revolved to 'easy to avoid', i can only come to the conclusion that it still s*cks. Big time.

Both retired military veterans, now 60+, we own 3 homes, and the taxes exceed $5,000 per year, in Florida! Then, we have a 7.5% local and state sales tax!!!

They are sooo lucky to live there! Just imagine a country, where retired persons live on less than $5000 per year, and the local sales tax is 18% for food, and 25% for almost anything else. And where all the taxes and fees on employee salaries add up to 54%. Unfortunately, I don't have to imagine, because I live in a country like this. And this is not the worst place on the world. So just quit whining you poor overtaxed americans...
