There’s Nothing More Fun than a Good Debunking
Debunkings are great. It’s always nice to clear out fact from wild assertion, particularly when the wild assertions are supported by a community that constantly references and reinforces itself without any actual allegiance to objective fact. Holocaust deniers (actually, you can find them for just about any genocide), Creationists, et cetera– they’re a fascinating study on how people choose the seize upon the “facts” that support their worldview and ignore or discount all other evidence. One such group is the tax protesters– those folks who think that taxes are unconstitutional or find some other justification for not paying them. A one-stop debunking of tax protesters can be found at the Tax Protester FAQ, written by Daniel Evans.
