I want to start with a quote from Lazarus Long, a fictional character in Robert Heinlein's stories:

Be wary of strong drinks. It can make you shoot at tax collectors - and miss.

Lazarus Long certainly deserves his name as his character does not die. He just does not grow older, so he has to pretend to do so and after some 60 or 70 years he disappears from the scene and a young man appears from nowhere someplace else. Heinlein is a science fiction writer so it's no problem for Lazarus Long to leave a planet after a staged funeral and arrive at a different planet after a short trip on a space ship.

So, this guy, with all his eons of experience, does not like tax collectors. I believe this is a noble state of mind, but let's see if he is doing something about the situation. Looks like, right? He will do something drastic about one of those guys, anything to keep them off of him trying to leech.

How is that different in the non-science-fiction America of today?

The tax collector is still the same leech steeling from his country men under the color of law, but hardly anybody would take up arms to defend his right under the constitution.

The reason is an overwhelming fear. Many years ago I had a colleague who admitted that whenever he gets a letter from the IRS he just whips out his checkbook and pays. He agreed with me that their authority to do so was at least questionable, but he would never do anything about it.

This web site will explore this fear, which is mostly unwarranted, and will offer ways to overcome it, through information and exercises.

Don't you think that overcoming such a fear would enable us to climb great barriers we perceive in life and maybe - just maybe - we can then follow Lazarus Long on some of his journeys and start living out dream instead of just dreaming it.
