True Death of Freedom?
9.25.2009
For all the commotion we heard about Bush and the Patriot act, the policy which Obama supports extending, are these same people decrying the death of the freedom to choose to purchase services such as health care? A common counterargument is, "car insurance is mandated!" The problem with this argument is that 1) this is a state mandate, not a federal mandate, and 2) an individual must decide to drive a car before they are subject to this charge, rather than being penalized for merely existing. In the latter, the individual cannot choose not to participate without being penalized. This is simply astounding. I can only hope that such an outrageous mandate would be overruled by the Supreme Court.
Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) received a handwritten note Thursday from Joint Committee on Taxation Chief of Staft Tom Barthold confirming the penalty for failing to pay the up to $1,900 fee for not buying health insurance.
Violators could be charged with a misdemeanor and could face up to a year in jail or a $25,000 penalty, Barthold wrote on JCT letterhead. He signed it "Sincerely, Thomas A. Barthold."

Just wondering if eBay allows you to sell [url=http://www.ticketchoice.com.au]concert tickets[/url] on the web? Do you know if there are any restrictions depending on what country you're in?
My parents have just called me and asked if i could "get rid" of their two tickets to some concert as they wont be able to make it due to yet another family event.
Apart from asking close friends etc, i thought ebay would be an excellent location to market them.
But whats ebay's policy on marketing tickets? Ive heard alot about it around the news but ive forgotten what happened.
and if it matters, the concert is inside of this coming month
Thanks in advance for your advice.
