C-punks, my apologies if this book was discussed on the list back when it first came out... in the course of cleaning up and packing in preparation for our move, I came across Bill Branon's first book, _Let Us Prey_. W/out going into any detail, the backdrop of the book takes place in present-day America where a sort of tax revolt is going on - over 1/3 of the taxpayers filed a Form 4868 - an automatic extension form - and 22% of those filers failed to enclose a check of any kind. There's a great part where the prez is freaking out because 1/3 of Americans are getting a gov't check of some kind and where the hell are they going to get the money when over another 1/3 of Americans won't pay their taxes. I highly recommend it. Take care all, and watch your six, Chris --- Ubi dubium ibi libertas Where there is doubt, there is freedom -Latin proverb
