    Judge Strikes down Clergy housing allowance

    This is an interesting read.

    In other words, a democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it.

    See the ongoing thread "Ruh Roh". There is some ongoing discussion on exactly the same news release.

      A prime example of why Titles should reflect the content of the message, which this one did.

        I wonder what "Ruh Roh" means?

        And I agree, a little effort in the title of many of these threads would help!

          I assumed it came from a cartoon character my daughter used to watch. It was the dog named Astro in "The Jestsons" who pronounced "Uh-oh" in that manner.

          I do agree that topic titles which actually describe the topic are much more informative.

            I was a Jetsons fan.

            I will try to be more topical in the future.

              You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you.

                I thought it was Scooby Doo at the outset but for some reason I was uncomfortable about it. I decided to check it out on Wikipedia before posting, and that's where I got the facts sorted out.
