Australian Secessionist Convicted!
From Yahoo News:
"An Australian who declared his farm an independent principality to avoid paying taxes has been jailed for 35 months for defrauding the government."
"Virgilio Rigoli declared independence on his former fruit farm on July 4, 1994 -- US Independence Day -- informing authorities that he was seceding from Australia."
Fookin' tyrants! A tip o' the hat to Mike Gogulski for bringing this tidbit to my attention.
Thanks!
