How the fuck is the government entitled to tax on emotional damages? With all the power of my imagination I can't imagine why this private money is in any way connected to the idea of a social contract. It's like the government taking money from capital gains, gifts, and winnings. It's just an easy way for them to double and triple dip.

I have tried putting it into words. Alas, I am not mature or wise enough. What I do know is that we need to refresh and reinforce our checks and balances.

With out reading I'd say close to 10-20 million. How close am I?

I hope not, I hope the Hulk is going trough with just for the fuck of it and to show that Gwaker can be attacked so that all the others who have a case against them attack too.

The other question is whether Gawker had insurance that might cover some portion of the judgement.
