Great.  Just wonderful.  Generate enough chaos and you can cost the
IRS tremendous amounts in temporary employees, emergency equipment
and office space rental, and perhaps even some tax revenues lost in
the confusion.  What will the result be?  Next year's deficit and next
year's taxes will be that much bigger!  Now that's what I call clear
thinking.							  :-(
