I'm hoping this is your April Fool joke Tom, but I'll get on my soap box anyway.

[soapbox]

With the talk of a national ID card, all the other infringements on privacy, and taxes on everything I'm beginning ro wonder are we back in Germany in the 30's or cold war Russia. Is Homeland Security an updated version of the Gestapo or KGB?

Is that the FBI knocking at the door?[:O]

I just heard on our local TV station that a congressman from NC is considering bringing back a luxury taxes on Model Trains. They are planning on checking on warranty registrations from the manufactures to see who bought what engines and use the list prices are for the basis of the taxes. [:(!][:(][8]
