Maybe they will introduce a Joy Tax

Some people get awfully excited about college kids chasing each other with a ball. There's nothing wrong with that -- I've even joined them a time or two -- it's just that we all choose different things that engage our imaginations or even inspire us to greater heights.

Hit the link to this blog post from a man who finds the highest joy in the workings of capitalism -- government "assistance" not required.

Of course government does take its cut of the capitalism. Perhaps if they knew someone was getting so worked up about it, they might try to send the tax man after him for deriving a previously untaxed benefit.

And this plays into a plan in Tennessee to tax bird-watching. Yes, I'm serious. The obvious questions for us then are: what if some of the birds being watched are actually across the border in Kentucky while they are being watched? Or if Kentuckians wander into Tennessee to watch some birds, do we tax them if they come home happy?
