Simple, do only what you love and nothing else! It sounds inane or naive, but I assure you, it works! It's the only thing that does! I've been a work-at-home writer, so to speak, for years. The only thing that keeps everything straight, from money to family to work time is to do only what I'm inspired to do in every moment. The world takes care of everything else. My love, my wife and I, have been separated for months at a time. The only thing that kept us wanting to be together was the fact we loved that neither one of us would ever give in to someone else's ideas of what we "should be" doing and have done only what we loved to do! Believe it or not, it is not a fairy tale life! But, it is better than anyone else I've known to try to work at home! So, God bless you, if you're into that sort of thing! It will work out fine if you're supposed to. If not, get to work, and you'll figure it our sooner or later! If you love what you're doing, it'll be really easy! If not, change careers, immediately! That's my only advice to you. God says so too, by the way! It's my "alter ego" that disagrees sometimes :)

So, does this mean I can watch ABC programs on my Google TV? Or is Netflix "opting out" of the open internet, too?

In fact, there's a lot of truth to the idea that error and ignorance makes money for the IRS. Actually the 16th Amendment of the US Constitution was never appropriately ratified (which was supposed to give authority to the government to be able to collect the tax). On top of that, the US Supreme Court has ruled that the 16th Amendment gave no additional taxing power (otherwise it would be unconstitutional!) So, due to the misconception about the federal government's jurisdiction, the federal income tax only applies to Washington DC, Puerto Rico, and the like and does not apply to the 50 states of the Union. So... when you file your taxes, you do so completely voluntarily (read here: under fear of punishment by the system for tax evasion... when no such actual law exists anywhere in the US Code). The IRS tax code, by the way, is not law, but rather more like instructions on how to follow a non-existent law.

But, please, don't take my word on any of this and check out the copious info on the net about the subject. Just don't expect your tax preparer or lawyer (who have made themselves just as dependent upon this sham as the IRS) to agree with me.

I choose to take personal responsibility for my actions. Ok, done with my rant.
