I gave Sophia a cookie today.
Then I asked her if I could have a bite.
She said, "No."
"Just a little bite?"
"No."
I used logical, ethical, and emotional appeals to persuade her.
"No, no, no!"
For a moment I even considered issuing an executive mandate, but I didn't...
In the end, I feigned disinterest in her cookie, and she eventually set it down.
Soooo, I exercised a little taxation without representation.
Oh, yes, I did : P
