A more accurate translation would be "I got mine jack... and I will watch your back when I can"
Taxes, as you point out, are necessary to provide a functioning society. We may disagree on which roles the government plays in that. Does education or health care in the US need to be federated? I don't believe so, and I understand the arguments for both sides. The Center for Disease Control is highly relevant in the US, but I recently discovered they are involved in traffic safety studies. I don't mind my money being used by government--it's annoying when it is not being used wisely or for it's intended purpose.
Now that I'm older and more experienced, I find that I now have responsibilities. I married, and began to understand insurance. When I purchased a house, I began to learn about mortgages, and when I started raising my kids, values became relevant. I was a liberal until I began to understand it was my money at stake, and my money is what I use to provide for my family... and distribute to charities as I see fit.
The U.S. Army has better funding and organization.
That and Terrorists blow up police stations in Iraq, coffee houses in Isreal, office buildings in the US, wedding parties in Lebanon...

I did not learn MSOffice in school. I learned how to use a similar commercial product with a spreadsheet program that could do calculations across pages and make cheesy graphs, and a wordprocessor that could format text and send it to a printer. Moving from one word processor to another--one spreadsheet to another was pretty simple. For me, this was not oss vanity and did not hamper my finding a decent job.
Besides, bo staff skills and computer hacking skills are preferable to word processing skills any day.
In (north) Texas, it doesn't snow so much. We do get freezing rain and are not generally prepared. Why should schools remain open when busses can't route across overpasses?
Well, I have used several word processors in my lifetime, and I am relatively certain that you have to. A common theme among the interfaces is to have a half dozen or so menu items across the top, with such things as "File" -- where you expect to open, close and save, and "Edit" -- where you expect to copy and paste, "Format"...
Does it really matter if it is Star Office, Open Office, Abiword, Word or Word Perfect? Were I a teacher, I would be fine teaching Word Processing 101 with any word processor. If I could save in licensing costs, I would.
Actually, I believe the very general rule of thumb is that a step up from a level of the food chain to a higher level wastes 90% of the energy that was input into the present level.
So. In my lifetime, I will eat 10 cows, or I could eat 10 hectares of corn. Every cow eats 10 hectares of corn, so if I choose to eat 10 cows, there must be 100 hectares of corn to support that.
Check out Transgaming . They allow me to play Warcraft3 on battlenet(and Diablo II). Sorry about the Blizzard references--but man, they make great games!
So yesterday I received my copy of Warcraft3 in the mail. I gave the winex developers at http://www.transgaming.com $15, installed my game and had alot of fun.

Collective social action is not the purpose of a government. That's a function of neighbors, family and friends in a community.

FWIW, The idea that Saddam was linked to Al Qaeda was original to the Clinton Administration.

Not the defacto gaming platform, but until then we have winex.
