Having had some recent experience with bureaucratic, authoritarian
states--I speak of the Driver's License Bureau--I can't help but
think a complete lack of a sense of humor plays a role. These people
seem to resent even the tiniest smile as an affront to their
role in making people's lives as miserable as possible in the
three or four hours you wait in their endless lines.

If I were going to crack down on teenagers listening to
subversive music and middle age men leering at pictures of young
women, these people are certainly the ones I would put in charge. :-)

Cheers,

David

P.S. As for why they are targeting me, I can only assume it
is because of the article explaining the history of the IEPA. :-(
