DC Studios was finally deducting Federal Taxes, another step we looked forward to during this acquisition. This happened twice in November, yet no new contracts had been drawn which justified any Dallas member as an actual employee of DC Studios. We questioned this matter, and in December, our first check came in and it was back to the old figures, where no taxes were being taken out. So where did our Federal Tax money go, not to mention the withholdings for Health Insurance, which we found out was canceled due to non-payment?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[John has the ability, he is a slippery player, he is able to use good speed and he has a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38083]]></link><description><![CDATA[John has the ability, he is a slippery player, he is able to use good speed and he has a great change of direction.

The emphasis is on unselfish. Excepting a small minority of mercenary or sadistic disposition, wars are not fought for personal gain, but out of loyalty and devotion to king, country or cause. Homicide committed for personal reasons is a statistical rarity in all cultures, including our own. Homicide for unselfish reasons, at the risk of one's own life, is the dominant phenomenon of history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fortunately psychoanalysis is not the only way to resolve inner conflicts.

It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.
