I was just pondering (a dangerous pastime, I admit) the concept of people being "legal" in one way or another. Whether you are talking about "legal immigrants", legal drivers, legal age of consent, a host of licenses "allowing" you to go about your business, or a plethora of other issues, some people place way too much emphasis on whether they (or you) have the official government-stamp-of-approval or not. In order to display your "legal" status for everything the government incorrectly believes it has a say in, you would need to carry around a binder filled with all your "proofs".
Who has time for all that nonsense? The government doesn't own you. Why act like it does?

The state issued drivers license covers all of that
ReplyDeleteReally? The "drivers license" says whether the state will recognize your right to carry a concealed weapon, be allowed to run a business, are properly insured, have a permit to add onto your home, and whatever other acts of self-ownership you wish to persue? What about the age-related "laws" that vary from state to state? Are you subject to the state that owns you or the state where you are standing?
