You try misplacing a document that the Government wants you to produce.
See what happens...
The Government is supposed to be accountable to the people, not the other way around.
100% agree. Yet the government is NEVER held to standards that the people are.
Even the mundane - like city codes - I use to live in North Little Rock (in a church parsonage - my first pastorate). Rainy year we moved there - church member was trying to keep the lawn mowed - and the day we showed up with trailer to move in - there was a notice on the door that the grass was too high and would result in fine if not mowed. There were a few little weed tufts over the legal limit... come to find out - the city paid a person to drive around with a ruler!!! seriously! And yet City property almost never was kept mowed within the ordinance limit...
In other words - all levels of government are not beholden to the rules they want to inflict on the people (so much for freedom).
