		Kaparo's threat to quit as House Speaker and his call to Samburu leaders and civil servants to follow suit and fight to the last man and last drop of blood is, to say the least, reckless in the extreme and unbecoming of a leader so respected in Kenya and internationally.
		This is a constitutional principle that is as fundamental as representation, the no-taxation-without-representation factor, the driving force behind the American Revolution and many other wars of liberation.
		However, even Kaparo has no right to incite those who are illegally grazing their animals on private property or those engaged in the killing of innocent people or those stealing animals for restocking purposes to defy a legal Government directive.

		They are convinced, no doubt rightly, that even the tolerant Church of England would not make special provision for the consciences of slaveholders, and since that is the case, their sense of logic forces them to conclude that such provision for those who refuse to accept ordained women is equally scandalous.
		Without Evangelical support, the Church of England would be in desperate straits, a point which was made most effectively when the issue of homosexual bishops came to the fore a couple of years ago.
		There can be no taxation without representation, and Evangelicals are fully justified in withholding their cash from the Church until this imbalance is recognized and corrected.

	No taxation debate without correct information - Roanoke.com
		I was amused by Paul Zweifel's letter ("Attribute carefully famous quotations," July 21), in which he correctly criticizes former Gov. George Allen for misattributing the slogan "no taxation without representation" to Patrick Henry rather than James Otis.
		In reference to Allen's original statement (which refers to getting permission to change the slogan to "no taxation without respiration"), I am tempted to add that neither the descendants of Otis nor those of Henry would have been able to inherit any copyright claims, either with or without payment of inheritance taxes on such claims.
		Zweifel states, without specifics or sources, that the rise of the Mafia in Sicily was linked to a concentration of land ownership resulting from the lack of inheritance taxes.
