Y'know, Dunedan, I was all ready to jump down your throat like everyone else until I reread your first post and got what I missed on the first pass - "in this whackjob's mind". With that phrase, you pretty much took the fight out of me. You're right - in his mind, the IRS seems to be the root of All That Is Wrong With The Government.

But that said, I think that there's a political bent here that just can't be ignored. As misguided as he was, I can't help but think of this as a terrorist act. A rather pathetic one in the greater scheme of things, but a terrorist act nonetheless. He's in the same vein as that idiot that shot up the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Church last year during a children's play or The Weathermen.
