Monday Interesting Tidbits
Another round of these.
1. Had a great game on Sunday. Joined a new roleplay group and had a blast. The DM is very story oriented and that works great for me. Hopefully, we can finish the current adventure in 2 weeks.
2. Had a very nice dinner and spent some time with a good friend on Saturday. He did up some salmon in lemon sauce on the grill. Afterwards, we went to the mall and wandered eating ice cream and shopping. Nice way to wrap up a day.
3. Picked up the first novel of the War of the Spider Queen. I am already seeing tones and themes I want to incorporate into my Underdark campaign. There is a certain ruthlessness to the Drow that they seem to pull off without being over the top.
4. Well, this should be interesting. It appears that the Speaker of the House in his new book, extolls and wants to push for the elmination of the income tax. The creation of a national sales tax would be interesting, but I think they would have to change it so states couldnt tax commerce then. Otherwise, you have double taxation of a scale that would be obscene. It would be interesting to see America go to a VAT as most of Europe is already, but then they have a larger social welfare system than we do. It is an interesting idea to put on the table during an election year. Of course, this doesnt address the fact that a good portion of regular taxes are going to feed social security and medicare now that the rolls are increasing. Guess what we get for robbing the fund in the early 60s and 70s.
More later, And remember. VOTE: Cause you can!
