“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”— The Continental Congress, July 4, 1776
“The task of statesmanship has always been the re-definition of these rights in terms of a changing and growing social order.”
— Franklin D. Roosevelt (Commonwealth Club Address, 1932)
“Roosevelt was wrong! The principles laid down in the Declaration of Independence are the principles of individual liberty. Our unalienable rights, given to us by God are given to us as individuals. Our rights do not come from society or the government, and they cannot be redefined by politicians. The nature of these rights carries with it the implication of individual responsibility, without which we surrender them.”

Well the paperwork is done, and I've e-filed. As usual, the federal government forcibly confiscated altogether too much of my money during the year, so I will be getting a refund. You'd think I'd be happy, but I still saw the grand total, and it was way too much.
I could have used that money through the year too.
At least it's over with for this year.

Blogrolling.com's service continues to degrade. It's hit or miss whether it's up or not anymore. I have permanently moved the blogrolls I present on this site to a separate page. This should improve the main page's performance when blogrolling.com is down.
If any of the blogroll owners for blogrolls I have subscribed to object to this, please send me e-mail letting me know at perri at perrinelson dot com. I will then remove your blogroll from my blogrolling page and you may remove me from that blogroll.
I will no longer allow my site's performance to be held hostage to blogrolling.com's performance or bandwidth problems.
At the time of this post, the blog rolls have been completely moved. I will be bringing the blog roll related images back to the main page, but I will be hosting the images myself rather than relying on third party image hosts as some of the blog roll owners do.
I will include a link to the original blog roll post with the images or blog roll names as before. I will also add a link to the page location on my blogroll page where the blog roll is posted. This will probably take place later today, after I get home from work.
I will probably do some re-work on the sidebar as well. As always, comments are welcome.
