It’s been kind of a long week here (and without any snow shoveling), and I’m pretty happy that it’s finally Friday. Other than that, I haven’t really got much of anything to say. But this song has been stuck in my head all morning for some reason, so what the hell. Maybe I can get it stuck in your head, too.
An increasing number of Indiana residents are declaring themselves “sovereign citizens” and personally seceding from the United States, says a report from ABC channel 6 in Indianapolis.
By doing so, residents contend that they no longer have to pay taxes, claiming their homes as embassies and using identification cards that show them as diplomats, 6News’ Rafael Sanchez reported.
Indiana authorities call such proclamations both illegitimate and illegal. About 10 people every month ask the state to put a seal on a document so that they can claim freedom from taxes.
Channel 6 profiled Donald Moore, a father of seven who has made himself “official- looking” identification that he says exempts him from U.S. laws and U.S. taxes by making him an “ambassador” to the United States.
The ID card “gives me diplomatic immunity,” Moore said. “The way I understand it, the federal government is incorporated, and all the states are incorporated. This takes me out of the corporation.”

This is too weird. I almost brought the Roxy Music box set to work today.
Here’s a fun one.
Find the area of a surface obtained by rotating the curve about the x-axis.
y= (1+4x)^1/2, where x is in the closed interval between 1 and 5.
I ask dumb questions :peace:
