We could speculate about this endlessly - and generate lots of heat but very little light.

IRS agents are people too - just like folks at Bear Stearns, et al. They can be ambitious and lose perspective in their quest for promotion, or to be kinder, justice.

We can read about this and learn the facts - keeping in mind that Ms, Ritchie is ONE viewpoint. Or, we can gnash our teeth and worry ourselves into a frenzy, while in reality we are some of the luckiest people in the world to live in this place.

In the meantime, offers will be made, negotiated, refuted or accepted. We have little (if any) influence in this. We do have influence over ourselves, and I don't plan to ruin a single day of my life worrying over this.

PS - and lest I be accused of burying my head in the sand... I am a CPA who has actually been involved in the issue of tax free bonds.. so have personally dotted the i's and crossed the t's etc.
Kate. Very good advice indeed.
I used to think that I was in charge of the universe. When I quit believing that, it continued on. We can't ruin our lives over this.

Kate. You are my kinda gal!
