The way German still is. I think one paperback version of <I>Tom Jones</I> by Henry Fielding that I've seen has every noun capitalized; all or most fiction and non-fiction written back then, if it's reproduced true to its original form, has the nouns capitalized.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182962435875556601.post-90379190038758697762008-10-13T13:31:00.000-04:002008-10-13T13:31:00.000-04:00And yet, you're missing the point too.People are i...And yet, you're missing the point too.<BR/><BR/>People are immoral as a norm, ok? Everybody already knows there are taxes, and only few protest, how come?<BR/><BR/>You say this is because most don't realize that taxes are immoral.<BR/><BR/>I say, this is because majority receives through taxation more, than they pay out.<BR/><BR/>Accepted morality of people is this: as long as I gain from it, immoral is a necessary evil.<BR/><BR/>For this reason, democracy will not remove taxation. Only benevolent dictatorship can do that. <BR/><BR/>Founding fathers did not represent majority when they wrote the constitution. They were dictating benevolently, at the moment.<BR/><BR/>Nor did citizens of Russian Federation demanded a low flat tax, Putin did put that in place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
