bub209 responds (I think):
These people have no authority--except maybe in Arizona,
yet you're ceding them control over a part of your life.

The part that whispers into your ear, "I
want the five finger discount?" Those
bumpkins have no right to tell you that.

What part whispers in whose ear?

I don't get whispers like that, nor do I cede control over my movements to a
rentacop or retial clerk.
