One might think that my skirmish with the state of Alabama as noted below might have me changing my thoughts about government. Not really-clearly this represents what is a pretty obvious trend, the state is so short of money that they will do every thing they can to avoid paying

I’m going to war with the State of Alabama. Got home after work today-and in my mail was this: ” Payments under the USFSPA are not considered alimony. Accordingly, your claim for alimony payments has been disallowed. You owe us money!” No f*cking shit, Sherlock. However did you read the
