esteefee [viewing tax return total]: holy crap that is a lot of money I owe.
me: that is not money. that is roads you do not have to build yourself, and rest-stops, and highway patrols. and forest rangers protecting you from bears.
esteefee: but..but HUGE.

esteefee: you do make fairly good points.
me: plus remember: the children we educate today will be treating our lumbago tomorrow.
