I feel that I can make an unusual contribution to the long and windy debate as to whether taxation is theft. The word theft means the taking of another person's property without his permission and *usually* *secretly*. (That dictionary I bought has finally proved its usefulness.) Therefore, taxation is *not* theft. The correct word is "robbery". We should always choose our words carefully. David Canzi, watmath!watdcsu!dmcanzi
