I mean, Dad, being a dad, did supply a lot of things to junior: food, shelter, security, etc. And, even though I think the libertarian idea that “taxation is theft” is really stupid, there is a slight point that it’s not a contract you sign or an arrangement you agree to, it’s an requirement forced on you based on where you’re born. If you don’t like those rules, you have to leave the country – and even leaving the country isn’t always something people are allowed to do.

In that, there’s a bit of a similar relationship with your parents. They impose rules on you that you can’t negotiate and can’t refuse. You’re stuck with them until you’re old enough to move out and live on your own.

Anyhow, the whole thing is kinda dumb. At least, that’s what my dog says. Oh, and she’d like for you to describe the smell of your dog’s butt for her, if you wouldn’t mind.
