The James Majeski Living Trust Sam Aurelius Milam III I've been at my new location for slightly more than a year. In that time, we've completed the Living Trust that will entitle me to live here for the rest of my life if the owner dies before I do. However, an unexpected problem has arisen. The man who has been designated as the first Successor Trustee is objecting to some of the provisions of the Living Trust. His objections follow, at least in part, from a concern that if the owner of the property dies then the Living Trust might not have a sufficient cash flow to pay its operating expenses. The designated first Successor Trustee is refusing to accept the position unless certain changes are made in the Living Trust. The demanded changes will probably result in situations that will be intolerable to me. Thus, I've taken the position that we should find another trustee rather than change the Living Trust. However, the owner seems inclined to keep the Successor Trustee and make the changes. If those changes are made, then I will again start looking for someplace else to live. The simplest solution to the problem is for me to acquire a sufficient cash flow that I will be able to guarantee the operating expenses of the Living Trust if that becomes necessary. Then, it will be difficult for the Successor Trustee to argue that the Living Trust should be changed. I estimate that I will need about $1000 per month to pay all relevant expenses. If 50 subscribers to this newsletter will pledge $20 per month, that will solve the problem. If some subscribers would prefer to make contributions or a pledge directly to the Living Trust, then checks can be made payable to the James Majeski Living Trust. For those subscribers who prefer to make payments directly to me, I prefer cash. PayPal payments can be made to Pharos_Website@frontiernet.net.

And I'm glad that you found a new home. Take care. Your friend, Freida

Do I have to leave off the stamp? editor
I received the following information in a message from Jeffrey, of Shelley, Idaho. editor
Amtrak has undertaken heightened security measures for the benefit of our customers .... Amtrak customers 18 years of age and older must produce valid photo identification when purchasing tickets (whether in stations or on board trains), and when checking baggage. Unaccompanied children 15 and older must also produce valid photo ID when purchasing tickets. At the instruction of the federal Transportation Security Administration (TSA), random ticket verification checks are regularly conducted on board trains to ensure that passengers are properly ticketed. Please be prepared to show a member of the on-board crew valid photo identification, if asked, in order to compare the name on the ticket with that on the ID. To be valid, identification must be current and in-force. Acceptable valid identification includes the following: State or provincial driver's license Valid passport Official government-issued identification (federal, state or county government or legitimate foreign government) Canadian provincial health card ID card with photo Military photo ID Student identification (university, college or high school photo ID) Job Corps photo ID In general, if none of the above are available, two other forms of identification, at least one of which is issued by a legitimate government authority, are acceptable .... Passengers purchasing tickets from station ticket agents or on board trains from conductors are required to provide photo identification and must be at least 15 years old. Passengers boarding at any staffed station or station with a Quik-Trak machine are encouraged to purchase tickets prior to boarding the train. Tickets purchased on board include a service fee built into the fare, which cannot be waived .... For the safety and comfort of our passengers, Amtrak strictly enforces the two-bag carry-on, three-bag checked baggage limit. We encourage all passengers to read our guidelines when making travel plans, as excess baggage will not be accepted on board trains. Your cooperation is appreciated. If you have any questions regarding baggage, call 1-800-USA-RAIL (1-800-872-7245) for more information. Be sure that you understand and follow all baggage guidelines before arriving at your departure station. Does anyone still doubt that we live in a fascist police state when government ID is required just to ride a train? editor
Dear Frontiersman, I was introduced to your paper today. I was very interested in the article in regards to "The nature of presently existing government is a good argument in favor of the position that people are inherently stupid." November 2004. I ask if you could not only please put me on your mailing list but if you could send me a copy of that issue. Could you also send me information on the quasi-contract. I am incarcerated in the Department of Corrections so I will be unable at this time to send you any contributions. Therefore I am sorry for that. I work full time here and I can barely be able to get by even here. I am a para-pro. I help people who do not have a GED or high school diploma to get a GED. Again thank you for your time and I hope I will be able to get November's issue. Thanks again. an inmate
The statement about the nature of presently existing government was my address page panel statement. It's there for the benefit of people who handle the newsletter in transit and doesn't necessarily correspond to an article. editor

The next letter is in reply to my article "Where No Child Has Gone Before", last month. editor
Dear Sam: I agree with you that getting a Social Security number for a child might be considered a form of child abuse, because of all the negatives that such a relationship entails. However, I am confused about the first part of your argument. If a child is an adjunct of a parent, and the parent has legal responsibility for the child, it seems to me that the parent would have the right to make a binding contract for the child. The issue is not the child's presumed incompetence, but rather the parent's presumed competence to make judgments for the child. I don't see why the parent would NOT have such a right. Sir Donald the Elusive
My stated position wasn't perfectly correct. Hopefully, the excerpt from Bouvier's Law dictionary, below, will clarify it. editor
The next letter refers to "Conversation with a Gestapo Thug", September 2004, page 1. editor
Dear Frontiersman In a recent article, you described a violent incident which took place on a neighbor's property. Your reporting was provocative, but somewhat incomplete. For example, you described an invasion by armed men, but you never said if they were dressed in civilian clothes, or government uniforms. Furthermore, you reported overhearing a fragment of conversation, which implied that the men were taking your neighbor's horses. Is it possible that they were there to reclaim stolen property? You also mentioned a personal conversation with one of the men, who asked if you were a vet. I could not tell from what was written if he was asking you if you were a veteran or a veterinarian. Also, were the horses actually removed from the property? Was anyone, to your knowledge, arrested in connection with this incident? I hope I don't sound too critical. However, as you can see, I'm both tantalized and puzzled. The only thing that I can recall about their clothing is that they were wearing flack jackets. My impression is that they were in "civilian" clothes. I don't remember noticing any uniforms. What difference does it make if they were wearing uniforms or not? The horses had been there since before I moved into this neighborhood. It was commonly accepted in the neighborhood that the lady owned the horses. I don't know if the gestapo thug was asking me if I was a veteran or a veterinarian. He didn't elaborate and I didn't pursue the issue. The horses were actually removed from the property, as I stated at the end of the article. I don't know if anybody was arrested. Finally, it wasn't my objective to report the incident but to report the conversation. I provided some information about the incident as context for the conversation. The reason that the conversation is important is that they tried to intimidate me for merely watching what they were doing, from my own home. Incidentally, another bunch of them was at the same house late in October, chasing a dog. I was in my back yard at the time, harvesting mint, and one of the thugs ordered me indoors. The details that concern you are not very important. What's important is the fact that gestapo thugs don't like witnesses. In Amerika today, you can be arrested merely for declining to "move along, now, Buddy!". That's why I reported the conversation. editor
